CAUSE OF PAINFUL
AND SLOW TEETH
ING BABIES

Baby usually cuts its 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-
ton 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
a slight fever during teething time,
indigestion is probably the cause, but
care must be taken not to use strong,
irritating drugs that cause inhamma-
ton of the delicate membrane of ba-
by's stomach.
One of the best laxatives for teeth
ing babies is "Baby Ease" a perfect
ed preparation by a baby specialist
that is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce over-action, or
leave baby constipated. "Baby Ease"
Is a safe. harmless and efficient laxa-
tive and corrective. Use it and you
will see a wonderful improvement in
your baby, if not, take him to a phy-
slclan. Ask your druggist for "Baby
Ease"

SYDNEY, Australia, April 1S.-(By Associated Press Mail)-The pro- posed new Australian tariff is not intended to encourage manufacturers in "slothful ease" or to enable them to operate on any other basis than Hughes, at a luncheon given here by the Australian Industrial Pro- lection League.
 "The manufacturers of Australia" :" he said, must take advantage of the oportunity which now unfolds itself before them. The government in tends to lay upon the table of the House a tariff bill which has been carefully prepared with the deliber- ate intention of encouraging effective ly the industries of Australia; but I want to tell the manufacturers that they must not think to find a safe Tiff wall
 You must live on your merits. The manufacturers of Australia must realize as some have already done, that the bulwarks are imposed by the sparseness of our population. They must build their plants with the fullest intentions of competing in the markets of the world The tariff can set you on the road, but you must walk alone"

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 IMPORTANT SESSION

All the Councilmen, with Mayor Gallwas in the chair were present at their regular meeting last night. After approving the bonds of all the City Officials, and paying the bills, the Council took up the school question. It had been suggested by the school board that with the probability of reduced attendance in the High School, the City might save considerable money by allowing the students to attend the Juneau High School and paying their ferry fare. During the past year, several students from the Island have shown q preference for the Juneau school and no hardships were apperent No tuition has been charged these students in the past by the Juneau school. While the Douglas school board expected there would be some charge made in the event of all our High School pupils attending in Jun eau, it was somewhat of a surprise when it was learned that the Juneau school wanted $2,500 for the first twenty students and $1OO for each one over the twenty. The Ferry Company were. agreeable to allowing the. very liberal rate of about $500 tsr month5 for each student.

SOLDIER JOINS SCOUT RANKS.

Widely known among boy scouts and
prominent as a teacher in south
Georgia, Prof. w. l.. Sprouse, returned
soldier from France, begins his work
as scout commissioner of Waycross
and Ware county with the reorganiza-
ton Of the movement in that section.
Scouting is fortunate in lining up
such capable men who have an abound
ing interest in boys and a great love
for the outdoors.
Mr.. SprouSe was reared in the foot
hills of the Cumberland mountains,
educated at Peabody college and the
University of Tennessee, has taught in
public and private schools for eight
years, served with the A. e. f. over
sea- for nearly a year, has travelled ex-
tensively, lecturing the boy scouts on
the Mammoth cave, where he has made
explorations, and for five years has
been a hustling ScOutmaster in this
section.
81 shall hope to see the day when
scouting will become a tremendous
factor in training u Southern boys
for citizenship" said Professor
Sprouse. "Organized boyhood has won
a prominent and lasting place in our
national life because of what boy
scouts did for the country and the
world during the war.

PERsHING's COUSIN A SCOUT

A cousin of General Pershing is the
boy scout chief in Oklahoma City,
Writing of the trustworthiness of these
kids in khaki" Scout Executive j.. E.
Pershing says:
Not long since the manager of one
of Oklahoma City's biggest concerns
phoned the headquarters and asked for
a scout to work in his Office.
81 want a scout, because l can de-
pend on him, he is trustworthy
He got his scout and still has him.
"a leader of n of our leading clubs
wanted 20 scouts for a particu-
lar service during the a The
chief expressed doubt about his ability
to get them, and suggested he ask an
other source. The answer came
quickly:
eff l can't get scouts. I don't want
any. l car trust a scout"
I might multiply these instances
a hundredfold. The fact is the pub
lie has come to trust a scout because
he is trustworthy.
But after all, the real test of a
scout is his home life. If dad or
mother can say; "Our boy is a good
scout, he is worthy of our trust" then
he is a good scout indeed.
A scout is trustworthy. This law
of scouting is heard around the world.
1t is the foundation, the flower Of the
scout movement.

SCOUTS LOOKING UP SOLDIERS

Again the boy scouts have been
called into service by Uncle Sam. The
treasury department is having difficult
ty in locating many of the returned
service men, whose war risk insurance
is apt to become void unless payments
are kept Up.
Secretary Carter Glass says: "It is
impossible for the treasury department
to reach a large proportion of the
demobilized men by mail, for the rea-
son that many Of them are not return
ing to their former homes, or have
changed their addresses, or for the
time being are transient. If they per-
NIT their insurance to lapse and die
before they reinstate it, their depend
ents cannot receive any insurance from
the government, and consequently
there will be widespread dependency,
restitution and suffering throughout
the country during the years to come"
The services of the boy scouts have
been called upon to aid in preventing
the threatened condition. Every troop
will be supplied with a number of gov
eminent posters to be placed in favor
able places.
