Keep Baby Comfortable

There is an old grandmother's say
ing that "a well baby never cries"
This cannot be accepted literally, of
course. Most of the crying Of babies
can be attributed, however. to discom-
fort of some sort.
A baby's skin is extremely tender.
1t is quickly irritated by conditions
which would have no effect upon the
tougher skin of an adult.
Next time baby cries or frets, ex-
anime it carefully for redness and
chatting, and whenever they are found
sprinkle gently with 20 Mule Team
Powdered Boric. The irritation will
subside very quickly and baby will
be comfortable again.
20 Mule Team Boric is better for
such purposes than the many talcum
or baby powders and less expensive.
Your druggist sells 20 Mule Team
Powdered Boric.-Adv.

All Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, on Au-
gust 8; that he questioned him re-
earding his candidacy here and in Hi
nois and that while he did not admit
that he was running in both places
answered by saying that it was com
mon for candidates for the English
