One of the popular uses of velvet

Assuming that the print of which this
youthful frock is fashioned is in tones
of rose, lilac and pale green, happy
selection for the velvet ribbon would

How to train BABY'S

Babies, bottle-fed or breast fed,
with any tendency to be constipated,
would thrive if they received daily
half teaspoonful Of this old family
doctors prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity. To
avoid the fretfulness, vomiting,
crying, failure to gain, and other ills
of constipated babies.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
good for any baby. For this, you hare
the uord of a famous doctor. Forty
seven years Of practice taught him
just what babies need to keep their
little bowels active, regular; keep
little bodies plump and healthy. For
DIR. Caldwell specialized in the treat
ment of women and little ones. He
attended over $500 births without
loss of one mother or baby.
