Guard Your Baby
 Against the Summer

"If only the baby gets through the summer all right !" In thou sands of mothers minds that thought is running night and day. Yet sum- iner need hold no terror for you if the baby is fed right. Nestle's Food will make this Summer easy for you, IS it has made the summer easy for other mothers for forty years.
 You are right to guard z alainst the Summer. Summer diarrhea is the cause of more deaths than all the other children's diseases put together, and its 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.
 7 But cow's milk contains much that is good for the baby. Preserve the good parts, eliminate the bad parts, add some vital elcments-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 elements as mothers milk.
 Nestle's Food is the purest. richest cow's milk, procured in sanitary dairies, from selected COWS, purified and modified under scien- fife directions, and reduced to a powder. Just add water, boil it two minutes and 1t is all ready for the baby--a delicate, perfect, digest iblc, nourishmg food that will ward of the summer tcrors, 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 Nestle's fought off summer disease. You will find that, helped out by

There came to the writer's notice the other day the case of a boy-by no means a bad one as boys go-who four or five years ago quit school at the end of the seventh grade. He had little or no encouragement at home and, like many a youth at that age. was smart-thought he knew it all and 80 quit This same boy hasn't whisk- CTS on his face yet, but he thinks now that he made a mistake-this barely four years after. He surely did, for he Is overgrown, and he would be ashamed to pick up the threads of school work again with those younger and smuler than himself. and the chances are that he does not possess force and persistence to take the studies up by himself. He defrauded himself by quitting school, and the conviction of it will grow on him as he ages. Pity it Is. and yet thousands of boys are doing the same thing every

Whether in garden patch or farm field, 1t is we'll to remember that the best time in the whole season in which to dispatch weeds is just as they are breaking through the ground = 'just a-bornin'," as some one has said. This is so because 1t Is then that they are most easily killed, while they havd not as yet begun to pull on either the moisture or fertility of the soil. An other decided advantage in doing the job at the start is that the weeds can be killed literally by the million with drag or harrow, while few weeks later. one is able to put them out of business with difficulty by thousands or less with hoe or culdvator.

Things taste just as good grown in a garden where the rows are straight as from one in which they are crooked, while added to this there is the satisfaction to the eye in seeing things true and straight. More than this, the job of caring for the stuff is rendered much easier if the rows are straight and can be done with a wheel hoe or cu1tivator.
