LACTOGEN

THE BEST SUBSTITUTE FOR MOTHER'S MILK"

Says a Lady Doctor

** have much pleasure in expressing my unqualified approved of your Lactogen, at a perfect diet and the best substitute for mother's milk. I especially found that Lactogen contains the exact amount of fat needed in a food for infants and that the emulsification of the fat helps greatly in the digestion and asimilation,

You have every permission to use this testimonist at you wish, for I feel sure the more this Food is used the greater will be the favourable.. impression it must make."

Even the most delicate babies thrive on Lactogen because it contains all the vital nutriment they need, in easily digested form. Lactogen is pure, fresh, full-cream modified dried milk with extra cream and natural milk sugar added, made in all important respects exactly like breast milk.

Some women must have whis- pered this fact to a lower manu- facturer, as the new idea is flowers which can be revived.. There's no black magic about it-as Don they seem off-colour, the flowers are put in the refrigerator for a tew hours, and they liven up and look as good as new.

They are made of A vegetable substance, and the cold tempera- ture brings back their freshness.

These flowers can be washed-- another advantage and although they cost a little more than or dinary kinds, thek added weartrig qualities make this worth while.

FLOATING FLOWERS

When cutting Rowers for vases one has often to cut sprays of buds for the sake of a flower'or twa in full bloom. It flowers are float- ed in a bowl this means that the can be utilised. while the buds remain on the plant for future flowering.

blooming heads

Roses float charmingly. Cut the stems quite close to the head and don't forget to float several little

sprays of leaves. These act is a foll for the roses,

Carnationis, pansies. dahlias, chrysanthemums, poppies, and ca- lendulas are but a few of the Do- wers which Boat satisfactorily and look decorative in a shallow bowl.

Don't desplie the gardener's friend-the humble nasturtium. · Orange nasturtiums with a few of their round green leaves floating In a black bowl are lovely, and have the advantage of lasting for a fair time.

COLOUR CONTRAST Delightful effects can be obtain- ed by contrasting the flowers; a novel arrangement is to have large pink rose in the centre sur- rounded by a circle of nasturtium leaves, then a circle of pansies, an- other of nasturtium leaves, and lastly, a circle of pink carnations.

Remember when floating flowers never to crowd them. Nothing looks worse than a bowl of jammed-to- get her blossoms. Don't, on the ather hand, have too few, for in that case the flowers tend to cling together in a little patch. There Is just a correct proportion to at- tain-to have the water surface three-quarters covered with Ao-

wers.

It arranged with artistry, float ing nowers are really more beauti- ful than those in vases. The lat ter are awake. but flowers float are flowers asleep in all their love- liness.
