Development of
A Normal Baby

An inexperienced mother is often
at loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be un-
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious ma
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications of a perfectly healthy
baby are steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa-
ton, it should have attention.
Most of the baby's troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in Indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
baby doesn't develop properly. When
these symptoms occur, a good baby
laxative will generally suffice, but
great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up Inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach.
One of the best laxatives for babies
is "Baby Ease" a perfected prepara-
ton by baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro-
duce over-action or leave baby con-
stipated. 1t is safe. harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to a physician. Ask
your druggist for "Baby Ease"

HON. CLIFFORD
WALKER IN BEHALF
OF A BETTER CA.
Reprint of Article From the Carroll
ton Free Press Reporting Speech
of Hon. Clifford Walker Made in
Carrollton.

The address of Hon. Clifford Walk
er, Attorney General of Georgia, was
one of the most powerful and convin-
cing ever delivered in Carrollton on
Memorial Day. His main line of
thought is "The Improvement of Ed
ucational Conditions in Georgia"
and in a most incisive manner he
dealt with the questions of Visiting
Nurses, Good Roads, Living Salaries
Medical Examinations for our school
children, immigration Tests, and not
least of all, Bolshevism, that foul vul-
ture whose sable shadows are upon
every land. Surely everybody will
want Clifford Walker, princely and
patriotic as he is, devout church
man, an active layman, construc-
tive statesman, an educational refor-
mer, for our next Governor. A very
prominent man of our town who went
to school with him when they were
boys saidsto the writer. 81 have never
heard one word against Clifford
Walker. (adv)
