For Baby when Teething

Allenburys

RUSKS

Lightly matted, delightfully crisp and wholesome, the “Alienbarys" Rusks are designed to help baby when teething Children nibble then instinctively, so that the cutting of the milk-teeth is aided and the troublesome and painful process shortened. Moreover, the Rusks soften in the little one's mouth, and, being safely and casily swallowed, provide a variation in dietary much needed at this period. They give baby the gratification which comes from the first, experience of swallowing solid food. Allen & Hanburys Ltd., 40 Canton Road, Shanghai

Mr. Baldwin for the Young Men's Club, said that attendance had fallen off somewhat towards the end of the year, but all functions of the Club, had been well sup ported. Picnics had resulted in a loss, but a certain amount of this had been recovered by Social Evenings, for which a small charge was made. The football field, shared with the Club de Recreio had proved a great bocn ard the Club's team had up to the present been unbeaten!
