DOES YOUR BABY
SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT2

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 baby
specialist.
"Baby Ease" is excellent for all
disorders of the stomach and diges-
ton in babies and children. 1t 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
receive. If "Baby Ease" fails to
correct these troubles after few
doses, take your baby to specialist
for thorough examination. "Baby
Ease" may be had from your drug,

nationally known author of medical
text books, in most emphatic state
ment said:
''If had my way, Bitro-Phosphate

Later, DR.. Kolle said: "When the

Hot weather is dreaded by men and
women who are weak, thin, nervous,
timid and lacking in vigorous develop
ment because it saps their vitality al
most to the breaking point.
To all such people Bitro-Phosphate
is recommended because it is the one
organic phosphate which when abb
sorbed by the system will supply the
element necessary for a vigorous,
healthy body free from any sugges-
ton of weakness or disordered nerves

Bitro-Phosphate a GOdsend

Men and women, nervous and fret
full, easily upset and often fatigued,
need plenty of organic phosphate and
the sooner they heed this advice the
better their health will be.
In every one of the millions of cells
that make up your body. phosphorus
is most important part.
Your nervous system, your brain,
your blood and even your bones must
have sufficient supply of phosphor-
as or WEAKNESS, nervousness and a
general rundown condition, as well
as lack of normal mental power is
sure to result.
Big men of affairs-mighty men
who control industries because of
sheer will power and nervous force
know this, or if they don't are clever
enough to have a physician who does.
Physicians more and more are real
izing that Bitro-Phosphate, as dis
pensed at drug stores, is a necessity
to over forty per cent of men and wo-
men, because present day foods do
not contain enough phosphate to give
the body and especially the nervous
system the supply it needs.
Speaking on this very subject, DR..

EMPLOYERS

To The Sun and New York Herald;
Thanks for your editorial article on
Samuel Gompers.
One would think in reading his de-
nunciations of employers generally
that we have in this country some sort
of preferred class from which employ
ers are chosen. The fact is the EN-
ployee of to-day may be the employer
of tomorrow, if he has the ability and
the courage to break out of the rut.
Furthermore, if a single man cannot
do business on a large scale he can
through cooperation create large en-
terpriscs.
Why don't Mr.. Gompers' followers
exact from him intelligent and con-
struetive leadership?
The unions have in some cases
large amounts in their treasures; they
have skilled workers. Why does Mr..
Gompers not show them how to re-
duce the cost of living by forming
cooperative companies that will Sc
cure the product of the farm and fac
tory direct and distribute it to the
public, thus eliminating one or sew
eral middlemen's profits?
Why does Mr.. Gompers not estab-
fish intelligent education for appren-
tees?
Why does Mr.. Gompers not estab-
fish intelligent technical education for
worthy members, and thus secure in
telligent leadership for the future?
Why does Mr. Gompers not enter
the field of manufacturing and dis
business, and show us aver
age deluded, arrogant, inefficient EN-
ployers how the work should really
be done?
| would like to cooperate with real
workers. Peter E. Alliot,
Passaic, n. J., August 3.
