How to Save Baby
From Being Sick

Every mother should avoid the possi-
bility of sickness Detailing her children

ate the one great essential.
Feed the little folks good, healthfif.
pure, strengthening food and there
need not be any fear.
For many years physicians have pre-
scribed malt extracts, which contain a
large percentage of maltese. or malt
sugar. Malta-Vita, the crisp delicious
wholewheat food. contains from eight
to ten per cent of maltese.
Malta-Vita, on account of its large
percentage of maltese. is easily digestf-
BILE and readily assimilated by the
human economy, forming rich healthy
blood, is especially beneficial for chill
dren and it is so good to eat-not at
all like the tasteless variety of break
fast foods-that the little ones always
welcome its appearance on the table.
Mrs Miles Mccormick of South
Bend. Ind, says: I'VE had almost de-
SPARED of finding something our baby
could eat without being distressed. He

ferer from constipation and a general
derangement of the stomach and bow

observe this peculiarly They retire to the
darkest part of their houses and hang curtains
about them. so that none of their felow-Inen

On the contrary, the Philippine Islander
will NOT eat a meal alone Whenever FL

of the family has his own food-basket They
take their places about five yards apart and

amid a profound silence
The Brazilians never eat when they drink

Mourning in England

THE polite Englishnan who recently criti-
Il cized Americans for often being content
as rnourners to wear only black band en-
circling the left ann, gave another illustration
Of his conservatism.
His inclination for mourning garments is
hereditary In the England of the early
seventeenth century, no sooner had a death
taken place than black clothing was sent as a
gift bv the bereaved family, not only to rela-
tives but to friends as well. Everything sur
rounding the chief mourner was put into the
deepest black-black hanglngs on the walls,
black coverings on the beds. Funerals were
expensive in those days: so expensive, in fact,
that among the poorer people black bed "
was loaned around from family to family.
About 1925, 1t IS recorded, Lady Sussex eX-
pended more than sixteen hundred dollars
on the funeral of her lord.
