DOES YOUR BABY
SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT?

Baby's sleep is important. At night
baby sleeps about nine-tenths of the
time and should take daily nap until
about four years old. A quiet, peace
full sleep is a sign of perfect health
while disturbance Of sleep is almost
always due to improper feeding
which causes indigestion, constIpa
ton, sour stomach, gas, etc.
A baby specialist, while admitting
that a good baby laxative should be
used in such cases, warns mothers
against the use of strong, irritating
drugs that cause inflammation of the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach, and recommends "Baby Ease, -
a perfected baby laxative by a baby
specialist.
Baby Ease" is excellent for all
disorders of the stomach and diges-
tion in babies and children. It is
easy-acting. non-irritating, does not
produce over-action or leave baby
constipated. 1t is a safe, harmless
and efficient baby laxative and cor
rect.vo # "Paby Ease" fails to
correct these troubles after a few
doses, take your baby to a specialist
for thorough examination. "Baby
Ease" may be. had from your drug

No Horses on Laruest Farm.

-
A 200,O00-acre farm, the largest In
the world, which is the direct result Of
the governments efforts to stimulate
the growing Of wheat, is described by
Robert n. Moulton in Everybody's.
"The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat and If it produces somewhere
around the country's average Of twen-
ty-eight bushels per- acre, which is
practically certain, it will add approx
mately 5,65O,OO0 bushels to the 1919
wheat CROP" says the writer.
"All of the work is being done with
tractors. = Last fall when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie SOD. They plow on an
average of one acre a minute for the
working time. A record was made
one day of 1880 acres turned and
broken. All the seeding, harvesting,
ETC., will also be done by tractors, and
then, Of course, there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence, the absolute
no-accountness Of horses about this
place."
