Your own eyes and feelings will tell you this But you want-to-know-why! Well then! Milk is a baby's natural food. But many babies -perhaps yours- can't digest or- dinary milk. But almost any Baby can digest "Lactogen". And so when you give your baby "Lactogen" you are giving him rich fullcream milk in a form in which he can take it and keep it and turn it to gain and growth. That is why "Lactogon" brings so many babies round the critical corner and sets them on their way.

I can't deal with it in view of that section-section 21 of the Magis- trates' Ordinance.

Mr. Sparrow: The warrant was issued on the 7th February. Does that make any difference?

His Worship: I think I see one way that you can get around this, by not charging him with desertion on the 29th January, 1929, but in- stead charge him with being absent from duty on a later date within the six months. Wouldn't that do? Say on the

well, any date. When was he arrested?

Mr. Sparrow: He was arrested yesterday (Sabday).

His Worship: You can make it a case of being absent from duty three or four months previously. The act of being absent from duty at a later date is just as serious as the act of descrtion,

Mr. Sparrow: Yes.

The case was put over and on re- tarning to Court later Mr. Sparrow said that he thought his Worship had made a mistake in the reading

His Worship: I may have, of

Mr. Sparrow then re-read the section and also drew his Worship's attention to Section 25 sub-section 3, which states: "It shall not be necessary to make the warrant re- turnable at any particular time, but the same may remain in full force until it is executed."

Mr. Sparrow: This complaint was made within six months of the time the offence was committed. His Worship: Oh! was it? Mr. Sparrow: Yes, I gave you the date.

His Worship: But it was not within six months of the time the man deserted.

Mr. Sparrow: Yes, I gave you

The defendant, when asked if he wished to say anything, remarked that he had been granted four weeks' leave but having overstayed that period he had been afraid to return. The defendant said that he had been granted leave by Inspector Ogg.

Mr. Sparrow, in reply to his Worship, said that an Inspector could not grant leave. An ap plication for leave would be sub- mitted through an Inspector. It was quite possible that the defend- for and had been recommended leave.

His Worship remarked that it would be less serious an offence if the defendant had overstayed his leave than if he had deserted.
