Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can do what
any experienced nurse would do-what
most physicians would tell you to do
give few drops of plain Castoria. No
sooner done than Baby is soothed; re-
lief is just a matter of moments. Yet
you have eased your child without use
of single doubtful drug; Castoria is
vegetable. So it's safe to use as often
as an infant has any little pain you

Acidty

The common cause of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk Of
Magnesia.
One spoonful Of this delightful prep
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. 1t acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened-
Do try this perfect anti-acid, apd re-
member it is just as good for children,
too, and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
scriptional product.

ernor Ritchie has announced the ap-
pointment of Delegate George c.

State land commissioner to succeed
DR.. D. Russell Talbot, of Calvert

MIR. Peverley lives in Mechanics

J his defeat, was elected the party
candidate for the lower house by
.ethe County-State Central Committee
vand was successful in the general
election.
" That the Governor would appoint
a Southern Marylander to succeed
DR.. Talbot was considered certain
by political leaders, as the executive

picking successors from the same
political division as those to be
succeeded.
Backed by Friends
The campaign to obtain the land
office for Mr.. Peverley was started
by a number of friends and was
Dsupported generally throughout the
State.
! Several months ago, when the
office of State Insurance Commits
sioner became vacant with the
death of Carville D. Benson, friends
of Mr.. Peverley started a move
ment to have him appointed to that

having voted at the previous ses
Nsion of the legislature to raise the
salary of the office.
AS Land Commissioner Mr.
Peverley will draw an annual salary
of 81 500 and will obtain 5000 ajdi
