Put Mother, Not
Baby, on Bottle

You never heard this argument
before. We all know Mothers milk
is best for baby. But what to give
the mother to enable her to supply
baby with a sufficient amount OF
nourishing milk is the problem.
We have found in hundreds Of
cases that HEMO is a nourishment
that will increase the milk supply
and at the same time enable mother
to get much needed strength. Then
too, it is so appetizing and delicious
khat it is welcomed at time when
most foods are not.
Makes a delicious food drink by
simply adding water.
We suggest that you try SOC
package with our guarantee OF
satisfaction.

Il took a long time for the Little
Forest Folk to find a new School
House. Parson Owl and Professor
Crow spent many a day looking over
different places which might be used
for q school room. OF course, they all
agreed. they would never n such a
nice building as the n which the bad
MiIIer's Boy had set on fire. Pigeon
houses aren't to be found every day
In the week. At last, however, = biz
hollow trunk was chosen as = good
place, and Professor Grow at once took
charge. Before long everything was
running smoothly, and tine Littia Forest
Folk were rsciting their lessons a.
usual and Just " well, ! Am sure, In

But they never forgot that the
Miiler's Boy had set on fire their old
School House. And they kept a sharp
lookout for him. More than ver since
Christmas, for the Miiler's Boy had re-
ceived a gun for a Christmas present.
The Little People Of the Forest couldn't
befie-e that santa Claus had given 1t
to him. No. indeed. Santa Claus, after
they had helped him at Christmas
time. never would have given the
Miller,s Boy q gun. Santa Claus would
have known that the Miller's Boy
would take every opportunity to shoot
at them. No, indeed. IT wasn't Santa
Claus who had Given him the gun. But
the fact was the a1iIiera Boy had Il
gun, and therefore every M in the
