HOW TO AVOID INFANTILE AILMENTS.

When there are discases, prevalent in the season, it is the most dangerous to Infants and so. Great Care must be taken in feeding them with proper food otherwise they would give their Mothers a lot of trouble. To avoid the trouble is to feed them with LAC TOGEN which resembles human milk. It is easily digest and promotes healthy appetite. It keeps the Infants thriving and free from all Infantile

Ailments.

THE FUTURE OF INDIA.

INDUSTRIAL AMBITI N AWAKENING AMONG

-TRE-EDUCATED.

Indications of a transformation in India that will usher in an industrial and scientific, age and even tend to root up the caste system in Lilia are seen by Sir Alfred Boarne, KC, IE, CLE, FRS, Director of the Indian Institute of Science, who is in Colomba on a short visit from India, where he has spent 35 years in educational and scientific work.

The turning of the educated Brahmins to technical study, has been revealed in the first ten years of the institution's work and Sir Alfred sees the dawning of a day when! the old tard and fast lines of society in India will disappear. The Institute which at its inception, could find no Brahmin students now has a majority of Brahmins in its technical classes, and these have begun entering activi- ties of trade which have formerly: been barred to them by the lines of caste. In one case -educated Brahmins have entered upon the.. manufacture of glue, which has Falways been at the bottom of the list

for high caste employment...

I believe that the Brahmins especially, and other castes of India also, are coming to understand that something is needed in India to furnish employment for the brains of the country," be told a representative of the Times of Ceylon. India needs, to produce something. beyond the raw material for commerce, and the people of India are entitled to some field for their mental development, in į addition to the law and policies. There are many branches of science that are useful in industry, especially chemistry, and these are the branches that are being emphasised at the Institute.

i

The educated Indian is not so well fitted for commerce as the Japanese is, but be is a student and is capable of founding industries in India such as paizt manufacturing, the production. of whith lead, and glazed tles, coconut oil, other lines that are made!

of possible by the resources India. It is certain that the lack of these fields in India leaves nothing for the educated classes, but the law and politics, each of which has a tendency to more mischief instead of the solid productive pursuits that! India needs.

Sir Alired says that, even though the Ladians should enter export trade eventually, it could not be regarded as competition for British workmen. In view of the set back to production which Great Britain has received following the war, the raw materials of India are not so urgently needed in England as they were before the war. To develop these in India,

hard- working no ship and serving great needs of the Empire by furnishing Indians' with legitimate activities for brain and energy.

Sir Alfred, in addition to his con. nections with the Bangalore Institu- tion, has held posts as Professor of Biology, the Presidency College, Madras, and Director of Education, Madras. He has had published many text books on scientific and biological subjects.

REAL COST OF LIVING.

EXTRAVAGANT ESTIMATES

CHALLENGED.

Sir Henry Morris, in a: letter published in The Times on April 6, submitted that the essential cost of Ining did not justify a demand för an increase of wages or salaries exceeding 50 or 60 per cent,-and that those who demanded and got more were not fearing their proper share of the after consequences of the war. To illustrate his argument, he gave a sumaiary of his own household expenses. Comparing the aggregate cost for food, drinks, laun- dry. coals, and all the ordinary requisites of housekeeping for the three years 191214 with that for three years 1916-19, he found that the increase in the latter, equalled. 13.9 per cent. Comparing 1916 with 1919 the increase in the latter year was 23.3 per cent and in 1916 the increase over 1913 was only 1.05 per cent

Sir Henry Morris has since received many letters supporting his conten- tion A Horsham correspondent, who has kept detailed accounts for the last 25 years, gives the cost of food for 1913 as £257 10s, 61, fór 1917 as £285 4s. 11d, and for 1919 as £279 45, 1083. The headmaster of a well-known grammar school esti mates the increase in annual expen diture at 25 per cent, and gives this as the increase which the gover nors of the school are allowed to add to their previously small charges for the board of resident pupils. A third correspondent takes the figure 100 for expenditure in 1913 and gives 123 as the corresponding figure for 1919. In a fourth caset the Increase for 1919 over 1916 is stated to be 25 per cent, this being in respect of food alope

The moral of the letters is that where fixed incomes or allowances make careful buying and economy imperative, households have been able to keep their expenditure at a much lower level than is generally, regarded as possible on the basis of
