Guard Your Baby Against the Summer

eff only the baby gets through the summer all right ;" In thou sands of mothers minds that thought is running night and day. Yet sum- mer need hold no terror for you if the,baby is fed right. Nestle's Food will make this Summer easy for you, as it has made the summer easy for other mothers for forty years.
 r You are right to guard asainst the Summer. Summer diarrhea is the cause of more deaths than all the other children's diseases put together, and it's chief cause is impure milk. Time and again, doctors have said that milk, as it comes from the COW, is no substitute for mothers milk; because cows milk contains indigestible curds and because it is full of germs.
 But cows milk contains much that is good for the baby. Preserve the good parts, eliminate the bad parts, add some vital elements-and the result is Nestle's Food. Mothers and doctors have agreed in consider ing it the best substitute for mothers milk for two generations and that's because it contains practically the same clements as mothers milk.
 Nestle's Food is the purest. richest cows milk, procured in sanitary dairies, from selected cows, purified and modified under scien- tifc directions, and reduced to a powder. Just add water, boil it two minutes and it is all ready for the baby-a delicate, perfect, digest ible, nourishing food that will ward off the summer terrors, and bring your baby through the hot days, cheerful and happy.
 For forty years mothers have relied on Nestle's. For forty summers they have found that the bone and muscle supplied by Nestles fought off summer disease. You will find that, helped out by

clnnatl Mother and Daughter.

Cinctnnati.--Did you ever see a bet
ter-looking log cabin than this one
built by woman? This typical lit
tie cabin. all complete. was designed
and built mostly by woman and her
daughter. From the foundation stones
to the roof Mrs. Austoff and her
daughter. of Cincinnati, did the work.
Several men did the heavy lifting
and the like. but they only did as they
were told, for this was a woman's
work self-imposed, and here is the re-
suit shown In the accompanying H.
lustration.
Mrs. Austoff and family are wealthy
Cincinnatians. lovers of outdoor life,
and would rather sleep In a tent be-
side some rambling trout stream than
spend vacation at Atlantic City or
some other fashionable summer wa
tering place A tent was always
