Many infants and young children who have not thrived as they should have shown remarkable re- sponse to treatment with Baby's Own Tablets. This specific for the common ailments of the young was devised by a doctor who made a special study of children's mala- dies. The tablets

have a mild ixxative action and are nusurpass- ed for the treatment of constipation, indigeston, wind, Garrhoea, colic, croup, colds, and vomiting. They also are of great help in easing the pains of teething, and for the expulsion of worms.

Readily erashed to a powder, the tablets are easily to give, and as they are pleasant in taste there is never any difficulty in getting a child to take them. Guaranteed free from narcotics or other injurious ingredients, Baby's Own Tablets are perfectly safe for the infant în arms as for older children. If your child

is cross, moody, and generally out-of- sorts, it is more than likely that the stomach is upset, in which case a dose of Baby's Own Tablets will quickly set mat- ters right. Give them a trial; of all chemists.

BEAUTY TREATMENT

For Outdoor Sporting Girls

If you" are the outdoor sporting type, there are creams to protect, lipsticks (a new “tweed" one), and ronge to give the look of glowing| health that goes with sun, wind, and out-of-doors. A new season's "bud” will find powders of an ex- quisite transparency, and colours jas delicate as the rosy flush that

comes with the dawn..

If you go out in the mornings, there are shades clear-cut, crisp, and sparkling, while for evenings, when the lights are shaded, and you dine or dance to soft music, jenchantment is let loose in a whole range of colours, ethereal,subtle and elusive.
