Mother Says
Babies Never
Get Real Sick

That Teethina, the famous baby
laxative and stomach corrective, is
the greatest medicine on earth for
keeping little children well and happy
all the time is conclusively proven by
the statement of Mrs. II. b. Bogart,
of so Lindsey street, Atlanta, Ga, who
says:
81 have three boys, the oldest five,
the next will soon be four and the
baby is eighteen months old. l have
given them all Teethina whenever
they showed the slightest sign of feel
ing bad, and not only have the results
been wonderful, but none Of them
have ever been really sick In their
lives. I believe their good health Is
due entirely to Teethina."
Teethina is sold by all druggists, or
you can send SOC to the MOffett Lab

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Name of William Robinson Written
Large in the History Of Rail-
way Transportation.

An automatic electric system OF
railroad signaling was put into sue
cessful operation for the first time so
years ago. 1t was the invention Of
William Robinson, and the trial to
which he submitted his signaling ap-
planes was made early in September,
1872, at the town Of Kinzua, on the
old Philadelphia 4 Erie railway In
northern Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Robinson is very generally re-
ferred to as "the father of automatic
block signaling" His invention Is
recognized as the forerunner and at
the same time the basis Of practical.
ly every automatic electric block sig
nal system in use on railroads today"
This tribute to his work appeared
In a recent report of the interstate
commerce commission; perhaps no
single invention in the history Of the
development of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
closed track circuit"
