Mary Anderson's chief delight Is her
baby, a sturdy little chap, who bears

Navarro. He is three years old, strong
and healthy, with his fathers features
and disposition. His mother almost
worshlps him. No matter who her
guest may be, she always stays with
him in the evening until he is fast
asleep, and for this small baby boy she
sings lullabies which many of her old
admirers would be glad to pay good
price to hear. Even in the last year
Mary Anderson has received many

Mastica,ion does not separate Stesh

Mastication does not separate fresh
bread, but condenses it into soft.
dough, glutinous mass, very difficult
for the saliva to affect. In weak
etomachs. the saliva-coated ball, like
any foreign body. irritates the stomach
and brings on Indigestion. If the per-
son is strong and has plenty Of outdoor
exercise, the new bread is finally d.
gested, but the effort of digestion is
greater than it should be. and is liable
to overcome the strength and produce
more or less trouble. Stale bread is
more 'crumbly" and does not stay to-
gether so firmly in sticky mass.

tracts of land and harbors as may be
necessary for governmental purposes be-
ing not deemed inconsistent with tho
same. Ii
