What is Castoria
QASTORIA is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and
Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains neither Opium, Morphine
nor other narcotic substance. Its age is its guarantee. For more than thirty
years it has been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency, Wind
Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising therefrom, and by regula
ting the Stomach and Bowels, aids the assimilation of Food; giving healthy
and natural sleep. The Children's Panacea?The Mother's Friend.
The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over
30 years, has borne the Signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, and has been made
under his personal supervision since its infancy. Allow no one to deceive you
in this. All Counterfeits, Imitations and "Just-as-Good " are but Experi
ments that trifle with and endanger the hnlth of Infants and Children?

A wartime sandwich la a difficult
achievement. The common or garden
variety of picnic sandwich waa al
ways built according to age-old spec

But nowadays, thanks to conditions
Imposed by war and Mr. Hoover, the
sandwich Is a changed object, for th?

However, a picnic without ?and

mskes It cooler Indoors.
"Remove all baby's clothing ex
cept the flannel abdomen band and
diaper.
?"Give baby three or four cool
sponge baths every day.
"Reduce tue average quantity of
food given by two-thirds, especially
on very hot days. Give large
amounts of cool boiled water In
stead of the milk.
"At flrit aign? of diarrhoea,
which are the appearance of green
color In the bowel movement?, and
fretfulnes? In the child'? behavior,
reduce the amount of milk fed by
half, use skimmed milk, and omit
all sugar. It the trouble continues
or increases ?top all feeding, give
only plain boiled water, consult a
physician, or notify th? health de
partment.'*

Economy Column
A nation at war makes three dis
tinct demands on its Individual citi
zens?sacrifice, service, and economy.
AU sacrifice. Some sacrifice their
own Uves or Uves dear to them In
actual military service; others sacri
fice material prosperity, and all sac
rifice personal comforts and pleasures
which seemed the necessities of
peacetimes. Sacrifice la easy because
sll meet it together snd each Is aware
of the participation of other?.
All serve Most forms of service
Involve group activity, whether it be
In the army. In Red Cross or other
philanthropic work, or in active In
dustrial service. No individual grudges
service because all individuals give it.
But economy is harder. Economy
I? the must personal and the moat
difficult form of patriotism. It is
hard, it is monotonous. It is un
spectacular, and Involves all the firm
qualities demanded by sacrifice and
?enrice without the inspiration of co
operation and recognition. ??? serve
and sacrifice together; we economize
alone.
The family is the primary and most
important social group, and in Amer
ica, as the result of custom, the
woman head of the household ia the
disbursed of fund??the ?pender of the
family income.
Here is one of the newest and best
definitions of economy which the
housewife would do weU to ponder:
"Economy ia not the cessation of
spending. Rather It Is the elimina
tion of those fsneiful and wasteful
expenditures which add to the cost
of living without adding to its joys."
The Immediate result of eliminating
the cost of non-esseatiala is the ap
pearance of a surplus fund, a safety
margin for use when emergency shall
produce an essential not otherwise
provided for.
For instance. In peace tiroes we
consumed five pounds of sugar per
person esch month. At wsr prices
that sugar coat SO cents. Now we are
reduced lo a sugsr ration of two
pounds esch month?an Involuntary
saving of X cents. That surplus 30
cents saved and not simply diverted
to another expense channel repre
sents real economy. In the ?ame way
we have reduced the family expenae
for meat, and for white flour, and
for candy. The money saving effected
will be as much a patriotic service
a* the food saving?but It must be
sctually saved snd Invested in bonds
or thrift stamp* If it I* economy and
not simply transferred expense.

"I love that. Margie. It la so mas
