You can nurse Baby yourself

If the greatest privilege of motherhood is to be yours: if you would know the joy of having Baby dependent on you alone for health and strength, make sure now that you will be able to nurse him yourself. Very many mothers, who could not otherwise nurse their babies have been enabled to do so by taking Glaze them- otros overy day. Taken regularly two or three times a day. (bots before and after Baby's arrival), Glazo en- riches and stimulates the flow of breast milk, and main- fains the mother's strength without taxing her digestion.

BRITISH RIGHT TO BE CONSULTED,

LATER.

Earl Curzon, in his speech at the Imperial Con ference, said we welcomed our Allies' victory in the Ruhr, if victory it was, but he pointed out that as, the British Government anticipated, this had prodtic- ed the beginnings of internal disruption in Germany. The disruption was not merely ominous as a political symptom but had a portentous economie significance as it meant the ultimate disappearance of the debtor himself. He added that Britain awaited and expected the next proposals from France. Britain was quite ready to receive and dis- cuss in a friendly spirit the measures Franco now proposed to take. He stressed that the British had

Eart Carzon expressed the opiniod that the German surrender, should have been made three months ago but he suspected that no German Gov- ernment could at that time have survived a surrender:

He sketched his efforts to the end of the ill judged and ill fated Turco-Greek hostilities and said the task had not been. rendered easier by the Franklin Bouillon agreement which encouraged Turkish pretensions. Britain alone saved the situation in the crisis after the Turkish victory over Greece, and prevented the invasion of Europe. He claimed the solution regard- ing the Straits was eminently favourable to British Imperial Interests and thought the final restoration
