SOME ADVANTAGES OF

Eledon

Over Ordinary Buttermilk.

1. Preparation from fresh cows milk from selected and

and controlled sources.

2. The fat content is standardised to a definite percentage,

sufficient to fulfil nutritional requirements.

3. The protein is in the form of fine flakes on which the gastric juices act more easily, and the stomach evacuates more rapidly than is the case with ordinary buttermilk.

4. The mineral salts, especially the calcium salts, are more soluble than is the case with ordinary buttermilk, and this

facilitates their absorption.

5. The acidity is maintained at a constant degree.

6. The ability to vary the dilution when mixing is a decided advantage as the strength of the liquid can be made to suit individual requirements.

7. Many infants cannot tolerate whole milk acidified by the addition of lactic acid, and yet are able to tolerate Eledon.

8. The entire process of manufacture is subject to full

scientific control.

Plan To Close St. Pancras Station

London, July 25, According to the Daily Tele- graph plans are being consider-| ed for closing St. Pancras as a passenger station, and trans- ferring its traffic to Euston, when the £5,000,000 recon- Istruction scheme at Euston is

completed.

Under the original scheme, an- nounced last year, for rebuilding Euston, it was proposed that St. Pancras should still be used for pas~' sengers.

Since then further plans have been made. If it should be decided to pull down St. Pancras Station, a huge

site in Central London would be- come available for development, of Immense commercial importance since it is the gateway in the Mid- lands and the North. The station jwas opened. 68 years ago.
