(By "Birdie")
AMERICA, at the moment, is undoubtedly the home of golf, and from the stars that brighten the otherwise black firmament of world golf come periodic items of news that are a boon to a writer. In this land where players are so numerous and so great it must be a simple tonic and lesson for the average golfer to wander around and watch the pros at play.
Mr Average Golfer, however, is usually ahappy-go-lucky fellow-ever striving for better results (he wouldn't be a golfer otherwise) but not caring too particularly to personally pro- secute over-zealous research into the subject of swing, rhythm etc., etc.

WHAT A MOTHER SHOULD KNOW...
ABOUT HER BABY
"Specialists say a baby's system. fa the most delicate thing on earth. Everythinges baby gets should be made especially for him”.......evon a special laxative) If all mothers realized this, grave mistakes would often be avoided. Many mothers with the very best in- tentions, give their children small dose of the same laxative they use. They do not know that an adult's laxativé, even in small doses, can be much too irritating for a child's tender system.
Protection for baby
It's a comfort for mothers to know there in a safe laxative, Castoria, made especially and only for children. It contains no karshi "adult" drugs. Castoria is mild
ful taste. It's one lax- ative you never have
to force a a-hild to take. Al-
ways use Castorin for your children, from baby..
