All this is- perfootly well known to European manufacturers, and we are hopeful that the success of Japanese competition in China, instead of inlining them to withdraw hopelessly from that market, will stimulate them to adopt more efficient methods to win a share of it."

Mothers should eatly realize how essential good health is for the success of their child in after Ife. A badly nourished baby generally means an undersized child, wanting in stamina and vigour, If unable to nurse your baby, you must give the substitute that most closely inscables human milk. No farinaceous or starchy food or unmodified cow's milk is permissible to a child under 6 or 7 months of age. The "Allenbury's" Milk Foods are so prepared as to remove the difference between cow's milk and hungan milk, and they are as easy of digestion as the natural food of the child.

The "Allenburyi" Foods are nåke mutable for the delicate and robust, and when used as directed, form the best incans af": rearing a child by hand. The No. 1 Milk Food may be given alternately with the mother's milk without fear of upsetting the child. or causing digestive disturbance The dreaded process of weaning is thus made easy and comfortable both to the mother and child.
