Make teething-time

That first, eagerly expected, little tooth is about to peep through. And baby wants something hard to suck and bite upon to help it to come through easily.

Instead of a bone ring or com-. forter-which often results in in- fection from germs and causes malformation of the mouth-give ̈ ́ ‘OVALTINE' Rusks to Baby. Crisp-but not too hard--they give that biting exercise which ensures, sound, well-spaced teeth and correct jaw formation.

Then through childhood it is the continued use of 'OVALTINE' Rusks that keeps the teeth strong and healthy and makes possible those perfect permanent teeth.

To run about the world crying "Fitness, Fitness" is now a popu lar and approved exercise. But the remark is meaningless, since fit ness is a relative term and 'invites the question "Fitness for what?" If
