WULGAR" CURIOSITY A BESETTING BIN OF THE AGE.

In the course of an editorial, the Times ways i Curiosity is neither a virtue nor a vice, but one of the chief forces in human naturo, to be praised or blamed entirely according to the usợ that is made of it. Like fire, it is a good servant but s very bad moneter. We cannot nowadays look on of bodily torture; but there is o that

at photographs of people and objects romotely connected with his care. From this they learn nothing whatever that is of any possible use to them; but they have a pleasant feeling that they are in the movement; and they would, no Houbt, ba' very much disppointed if by some means it were discovered that no murder had heen committed.

Mothers should early realize how essential good health is for the success of their child in after life. 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 resembles 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 "Allenbarys" Milk Foods are so prepared as to remove the difference between cow's milk and butaci milk, and they are as easy of digestion the natural food of the child.

The "Allenburys" Foods are alike suitable for the delicate and robust, and, when used as directed, form the best means of reating a child by hand. The No. 1 Milk Food may be given alternately with the mother's ruilk without fear of upselling the child or causing digestive disturbance. The dreaded process of weaning is thus made easy and comfortable both to the mother and child
