Amazing Economy

of operation... but The CONTINENTAL BEACONS

BEAUTY.COMFORT and POWER will thrill you too/

Twenty-five to thirty miles on a gallon of petrol! Only four quarts of oil to the filling! Just one extra set of tyres in 3 years! Think what this means in reduced running costs for your car.

Yet economy is not the Beacon's only feature. You'll probably want a Deacon because it is so sman looking— so roomy and comfortable--because it skims the highways - with the swiftness of the wind and die smoothness of a summer breeze.

Read these compelling Beacon features: 4-cylinder Red Seal engine; Winged Power; double cantilever reat springs; racing car construction; 4-wheel steeldraulic brakes: 4 hydraulic shock absorbers; safety glass wind- shields; aviation type instrument dials; silent second, instant thift transmission, and many other features you would expect only in a high-priced' car,

You'll like the Beacon. And you'll like the security that comes with knowing that 30 years' expérience in build- ing the world famous Red Seal

engines stands in back of your car when you buy a Beacon.

As Good As A Doctor

In The House. Children often manifest symptoms of sickness at awkward times. Your child awakens in the night in a ́slató of foveriahriess, or crying with colic, stomach-ache, bowel trouble, or tooth- ing pain, I in too late to get a doctor and you spend hours of worry until morning.

With a V of Baby's Own Tablels ready at hand the child's suffering and your anxiety can usually be quick- ly overcome. Pleasant tasting and easily administered because childron like them, and guaranded absolutely pure and harmless, you can

give Baby's Own Tablets with the utmost confidnese to even the youngest and most delicato infant in arms.

Mildly laxative, their first action is gently to ease and clear the little ona's digestive tract. At the same time they sweeten the stomach, oc- celerato digestion, allay foverishness and teething pains, cane croup or cold, induce calm, health-giving alesp. in a perfectly natural way.

Normally, It is better to dis- tover, the happy medlum between these two extremes. They re- present opposite philosophies of iving. The latter philosophy is rnther French than English, and should help us to understand why the French, as a nation, manage comfortably in d'fficult days.

Yet the chief moral which I would draw, from extensive obser- vation among my friends and Requaintances, is that, in this time of crisis, those who can-con- tinue to live as they have always Hved, without strain and carking enre should do ao, not only for their own anke. but for the sake of the community.

But those who are hard put to it to maintain. their former level, should not sacrifice to it their health, their efficiency, and their happiness,
