"WHAT'S CASTORIA?”

Castoria is the children's laxative, It-is-made-espec ially for them. They love its pleasant candy

taste..

And mothers know . that Castoria is gentle and thorough... it will never cause the griping and upset stomach that. come from adult laxa-

tives which are too harsh for a child's young body.

There is no castor oil in Castoria, nor any habit- forming drugs. It is a medicinal syrup compounded of safe and proven vegetable ingredlents... you may read what they are on the label.

5,000,000 American mothers depend upon Castoria to ward off serious trouble when their children de- velop a beadache, an upset stomach or the first symp toms of a cold.

Dlicover, as these mothers have, the ideal laxative the laxative made especially for children.

Torpedo Attacks From The Sky

LAUNCHED 10,000 FT. UP BY PARACHUTES

By A Naval Correspondent I am able to give exclusive details of a novel form of tor pero attack from the air now being tested by the Italian navy and air force.

His visit is also connected with' some busineяa necessitated by the death of his father in Australia, about 18 months ago.

Since leaving Australia, Mollison has accomplished an Australia- England solo record (1931), Eng- land to the Cape solo record (1932) Atlantie solo crossing from Ireland in the same year, and then an A1-1 lantic flight with Mrs. Mollison.
