Baby's peaceful sleep

Peaceful sleep at the right time is as necessary to Baby as the right kind and quantity of food. If he does not sleep, or is restless in sleep, he is unwell, and a frequent cause of Baby's ill-health is indigestion. A suitable form of milk is the only food for a baby up to nine months, and GLAXO is milk in its most nourishing and most digestible form.

Glaxo has only to be mixed with hot, boiled water to provide instantly the required quantity of pure, fresh, unadulterated milk-milk made specially digestible and safe for Baby by the Glaxo Process.

GROTESQUE SPECTACLE`

MARKS SOAR TO 18,000,000.

GOVERNMENT HELPLESS.

LONDON, August 7. German marks have provided a grotesque spectacle. They were quoted at from 17,000,000 to 18,000,000 to the pound.

The movement excited very small interest a s the market considers the German Government's withdrawal of the regulations designed to control the movements mentioned on August 5 as a con- fession of physical incapacity.

152 The closing rate was 14,000,000 to 16,000,000,

Belgian francs were 100.35, and French 79.25.”

BERLIN, August 7.

The main cause of the collapse of the mark is due to the urgent demand of importers of foodstuffs, coal etc., for foreign currencies.

The demand even for a few hundred pounds, has a gigantic effect. Shops, which are only open six hours daily, are doubling prices from day to day. The printing presses are turning out eight billions marks daily but there is still a shortage of

papermoney.

It is necessary to wait two days to get change for a ten pound cheque..

The King, Prince George and the Duke of Connaught called the Britannia to victory in the second race.

The Patriarch is insistent on emphasising that the church must not attempt to participate in politics.

The "Living Church" which has strong Bolshevistic tendencies is losing ground and some of its parishes have sent representatives to do pen- ance before the Patriarch
