CAUSE OF PAINFUL
AND SLOW TEETH
ING BABIES

Baby usually cuts it's first teeth
soon after the fifth month. The time
varies in different families and may
be delayed by prolonged illness, but
slow Or painful dentition is generally
caused by improper feeding, which
produces Indigestion, faulty elimina-
tion and undernourishment. This
lack of nourishment causes slow for
nation of the teeth, and naturally
much pain when they come through,
as in later months baby's gums are
harder.
If the baby is fretful, sleeps poor
ly, loses appetite and occasionally has
slight fever during teething time,
indigestion is probably the cause, but
care must be taken not to use strong,
irritating drugs that cause infamma-
tion of the delicate membrane of ba-
by's stomach.
One of the best laxatives for teeth
ing babies is Baby Ease" perfect
ed preparation by baby specialist
that is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce over-action, or
leave baby constipated "Baby Ease"
is safe. harmless and efficient laxa-
tive and corrective Use it and YOU
will see wonderful improvement in
your baby, if not, take him to ply
sician. Ask your druggist for "Baby
Ease"

Meeting at London Reports Progress of Movement in United Kingdom
 increases in Strength.

The first annual meeting of the grand council of the Middle Classes union was held at London, Eng, re- gently, when upward of 16O delegates. attending from all parts of the Uni ted Kingdom, proved the vitality of the union by the strength of the branches which they represented. Ar ter settling various matters of interior policy, the meeting proceeded to a consideration of questions in connec- tion with labor and the economic sit uatfon, taxation and rating, the hous- ing problem, and the urgent necessity for government economy as definite step to the limitation of taxation, and the consequent reduction of the pres ent high cost of living.
 Among various matters considered were the continued extortfonate de- mands for wage increases, the neces- sity for further revision of income tax, with a view to obtaining greater jus tice for those in receipt of small, so- called unearned, incomes, the actual waste of government grants and rate payers moneys in connection with the upkeep of roads, and the necessity for extending the benefits of the housing n"t +n rnnnhnrs nf the middle classes
