and, like the settlers of all new coun-

difficulties to overcome and hardships

Mild Laxative
 for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of the future, and whether 1t grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak. depends upon the intelligence of its parents, for most children are born into the world healthy, but thousands become future weddings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still in greatest control.
 The prime cause of trouble is in the stomach: A baby that is disesung its ful; the little child whose stomach IS good romps and plays and never whines; the growing child learns well at school and Is eager for fun if its head is clear and it's stomach light. and that means II II mas no constipation.
