I suggest that you talk the matter over with him beforehand, and that you make the proposal that great treasures should be put away, but that He himself should try to think out some method of annising his guest. If the choice is left la bimself you will find that he will soon begin to cater for their entertainment.

Teething without Tears

As soon as the first tiny tooth is due, give your baby "OVALTINE' Rusks to bite and crunch. They will ensure his happiness and contentment throughout teething time.

Although not too hard for baby to cat and enjoy, 'OVALTINE' Rusks are just firm enough to give the biting exercise which helps so much to bring the teeth easily and comfortably through the gums and to ensure the correct formation of the mouth and jaws.

'OVALTINE' Rusks are made from pure unbleached wheaten flour in which all the nutritive elements are retained and the addition of a proportion of 'OVALTINE' makes them even more nourishing and delicious.
