is YOUR BABY
THE PROPER WEIGHT?

Dr. Holt, the eminent baby special
ist, says that baby's weight tells very
accurately how well it is thriving. He
recommends, the first year at least,
keeping weight chart. The average
baby weighs at birth to TX pounds:
three months, IL to 13 pounds; six
months, rs to 16 pounds; one year,
20 to % pounds.
If your baby isn't weighing what it
should, give it immediate attention.
The first place to look for the cause
Of underweight is the stomach and di-
gestive organs, because if they do not
function properly, baby's body is not
properly nourished. Symptoms of
poor digestion are usually sleepless,
ness, fretfulness, loss of appetite, con,
stipation diarrhoea and sometimes a
slight fever.
This condition may be easily cor
rected with a good laxative, such as
Baby Ease" perfected preparation
by baby specialist. The castor lax
atives have tendency to irritate and
are too harsh for the delicate mem
brane Of baby's stomach. "Baby Ease,
is easy-acting, non-irritating, does not
produce over-action or leave baby con-
stipated. It is safe, harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective for
babies and children. If you see no i'm
provement after few doses, take
baby to physician. Ask your drug
gist for Baby Ease. ADV.

JAPAN REALLY BACK NUMBER
Writer Brings Forward Arguments to
Prove That the Chinese Are The
More Progressive.

II may strike the western reader as
simply funny, but more than one Chi
nese friend has assured me that it is
the Japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other than the
way in which Japan has clung through
all historic vicissitudes, to a primitive
theocracy, John Dewey writes in Asia
Magazine. They point out, for exam
pie that a thousand years ago the Jap
anese borrowed the present style Of
clothing and Of household furnishing,
Of sitting and sleeping on mats, from
China; that China has changed sew
eral times, moving constantly In the d.
rection Of practical utility. Of ingeni-
GUS adaptation Of means to needs. The
Chinese cuisine is another argument
1t is doubtless the most extensive In
the world In the variety Of material
employed for feod. and also the most
varied In its combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food, clothing. shelter and fur.
nishings. But when one notes the va-
riety and ingenuity Of the processes
and appliances used in daily life and In
the crafts, one L. certain that the CHI
nese mind is naturally observant and
adaptive. But It seems unnecessary to
labor the question. Many charges have
been brought against the Chinese. but
no one has ever accused them Of stu
piuity. ThAr undoubted conservatism
Is something to be explained rather
than an explanation Of anything.

that there would never again be any

such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court to the effect that a young
woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced - prison for "practicing witch

cusations that used to be nled against
people in this country.

claimed to be able to tell who commit

She said q farmers oats had been
stolen By q man and a boy; that they
drove q hay mare, and proceeded west

would be found at a certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers

siticn to know the facts she related

Arkansas Diamonds,

Arkansas has several diamond mines
that have turned out about 5000 dia-
monds valued at about $4,000. The
geological formation In which the gems
are found Is called peridotite and is
akin to the famous South African kim
berlite. 1t occurs In chimneys like
those Of South America. The Arkan-
sas mines have been neglected. during
the war. With diamonds increasing In
price and popularity, 1t is said, the
mine owners are making plans -
work their properties in q more ex-
tensive and systematic way.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Increase 2f deaths here from sleep-rroducing drugs. use of which, it is said, has been acquired by many persons since the advent of prohibition, has led Health Commissioner Copeland to order an investigation of sales of such drugs Additional restrictions may be placed on their sale, he said.
 The investigation was ordered be cause of a statement by Chief, Medl-- cal Examiner Morris regarding the increase in deaths attributed to this cause. He said that alchoholic addicts finding themselves nervous and sleep less in many instances where tLeS have been unable to purchase liquor for their customary "nightcap' before retiring and the "eye opener' on erli- ing :, had resorted :sto other iarti- ficied and dangerous ways of wooing sleep The desired relief he said, was obtanied through the use of the nerve quieting effects of certain drugs
 Dr Copeland. in. instructions 10 the Bureau of Foods and Drugs to begin an investigation immediately referred to most of the drugs aborE. which complaint has been made officially, as "treacherous somnifacients,' ,' 15 grains of one of which, he sad were suf- ficient to cause death. He admitted that fatalities from the usn of these drugs were altogether too frequent.
 Dr. Morris reclared that deaths from sleep-producing drugs occurred in hospitals and in what formerly were sanitoriums for treatment of alcoholism Deaths from such drugs also had been recorded as suicides he said Sale of such drugs, he added should be governed by the same strict regrl7tions as those governing sale of UOisOns.

The storekeeper pays the dairy nan the same price for milk as you To, therefore you must expect hin charge five (5c) more, whicf gives him his regular margin of profit for wrapping and delivering 1t.
 If we sell to the stores the milk at twenty cents (20c) so stores could sell it again at twenty five cents (25c) it would mean that the stores would sell more milk which would cut down our revenue and the loss on bottles is so great that ten cents, the present charged price, is not enough indueement in all sases for the return of the bottle.
 If we can manage to charge twenty-five cents (25c- per quart as we do now to everyone we figure that we are saving you five cents f5e) per quart. The other way we would have to charge thirty cents (}oc) per quart and we feel sure that would not meet with your ap- proval.
 We do not want the 10 cents which you deposit for the bottle, that ia only offering you an induce ment to return it. The bottle itself costs more. Thanks for reading this.
