Swallowing may be painful and breath

The outcome depends on the object

all loose and harmful objects out Of
the baby's reach. Don't give him any
thing to play with that can hurt him.
If the baby does swallow some harm

AUTO FIRM INSTALLS
MODERN EQUIPMENT

Newman and Newman, who started
in small way to repair auto radia-
tors and tenders a few years ago, by
building upon a foundation of serv-
ice and good workmanship, have in
creased their volume of business prob
ably faster than any other business
establishment on the harbor.
When they first opened for bust
ness their supply of tools was very
small, gradually as the business in
creased, new equipment was added.
Today they are equipped with the best
machinery on the market, which not
only saves time, increases efficiency,
but also enables them to turn out
work faster.
Until recently. they devoted them
selves to the work of repairing radia-
tors, tenders and bodies. Lately they
have installed machinery for build
ing new bodies and employed work
men with years of experience in this
line of work. The machinery INSTALL
ed for body building purposes is of
the latest design, which means speed,
and consequently a low cost to the
customer. Because of their reputa-
ton for good workmanship, we can
safely predict that the new depart
ment will soon be swamped with or
ders.

good. The wheels of transportation
are revolving in Great Britain and
the new Labor government has cross
ed its first barrier.
Work for Unemployed.
Unemployment is the outstanding
domestic issue. Macdonald proposed
to float a loan of $1,000, 100000 to
give the unemployed work. That is
the most effective remedy for unem-
ployment.
The unemployed are to be put to
work electrifying the railroads, i'm
proving the roads, constructing houses
for British workmen. The money thus
expended will revive business in ev-
cry direction, it is believed, and above
all, will restore the morale, not only
of British workers but of dishearten-
ed British business men.
In forming his cabinet, Macdonald
did not attempt to compromise with
Labor's enemies. The leaders of Brit
ish Labor who have been repeatedly
tested and never found wanting have
been given all positions of trust.
Margaret Bondfield, the beloved
leader of British working women, has
been appointed parliamentary secre-
tary for labor. This makes this re-
markable woman the official spokes-
man for the workers on the floor of
the House of Commons.
Will Write Kings Speech
Parliament will reconvene on Feb.
IL, and Macdonald must then write
the kings speech and thus enable his
majesty to tell Parliament what "his"
government is planning for the fu-
ture.
That speech will be Labor's crucial
test If the program outlined can
commend the support of the majority
of the members of the House of Com
mons, Labor will have comparatively
clear sailing for an indefinite pc
Rod.
Macdonald faces the test with
equanimity. He believes he has the
answer.
