He feels that in the interests of the country and the merchant marine itself the business operating ships should be put in private hands as quickly as pos sible. He believes that the Gov- ernment should not build more merchant ships and that, goneral- ly speaking, the country at present has more vessels than it can use, although temporary local shortages may occur. He thinks that the Shipping Board will always find dificulties and face losses in operating its own vessels.

TEETHING TROUBLES Ended In Singapore By BABY'S OWN TABLETS.

Whether they live in the cold bleak North or under the blazing sun of the Tropics infants and lit- tle children, when ailing, find ever- ready help in Baby's Own Tablets. Here is what a father in Singapore gratefully says about them:~~~

"At the age of seven months my baby daughter, began to suffer with teething troubles. She was badly constipated, feverish and subject to attacks of convulsions. Nothing did the child much good until I tried Raby's Own Tablets. Then the results were wonderful. | My baby at once became brighter." her feverishness and constipation disappeared, she is now well and' happy.".
