MAKE E
CARE OF
-BABIES EASIER
Stomach disturbances and constipa-
tion are responsible for •much of the
peevishness of babies and young child-
ren. When the baby is cross or irrit-
able the .mother should. not resort to
so-called soothing mixtures to correct
the trouble, for in the majority of
cases these mixtures simply drug the
,child into an unnatural sleep. What is
needed is' a gentle laxative that will
sweeten the stomach and regulate the
bowels. Such a remedy is, found in
Baby's Own Tablets, 'They are easy
to take and are guaranteed to be en-
tirely free from opiates and narcotics.
Concerning them, Mrs. Jos. Tousaig-
pant, Ste. Sophie, Que., writes:; -"I
would like all mothers to know that
I feel there is no other medicine to -
equal Baby's. Own Tablets. I always
keep a box in the house' and their
prompt use never fails to restore my
little • ones' to health." The Tablets are
sold by medicine dealers or by mail at

admission were a penny to enter, an -

and a third penny for the equivalent

favorite days for 'baiting bears and

ordered to • close down: on the former
days so that competition should not

This is a figure puzzle that is not
and so well known as it should be. The
ine problem is to arrange one digit in
such a way that repeated four. Aimee
It will equal one hundred.
The stunt is easily donee and,
tortunately, is easily remembered:
Figure 1 shows how It is done,
.A second stunt is to arrange the
nine digits in their order in such a
manner that the total will be 100.
Figure 2 shows how this is done.
This stunt is particularly interest-
ing because the digits must be used
in their order. Several ways of
doing this are possible if this fa.

to try it after I told him about it. I am

as rooms were scarce at that time. My
