The BABY I
No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
, did not know was perfectly harm
less, especially when a few drops
of plain Castoria will right a
baby’s stomach and end almost any
little ill. Fretfulness and fever,
too; it seems no time until every
• thing is serene.
That’s the beauty of Castoria;its
, gentle influence seems just what is
: needed. It does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock
■ to the system. Without the evil
, taste. It’s delicious! Being purely
vegetable, you can give it as often
as there’s a sign of colic; constipa
tion; diarrhea; or need to aid
sound, natural sleep.
; Just one warning: it is gen
uine Fletcher’s Castoria that phy
sicians recr.mmend. Other prepa
rations may be just as free from
? all doubtful drugs, but no child of
5 this writer’s is going to test them!
; Besides, the book on care and
feeding of babies that comes with
Fletcher’s Castoria is worth its
weight in gold.

LATE HOURS AND IRREGULAR
MEALS UNDERMINE HEALTH
By T. Richard Sealy, M.D., Santa
Anna, Texas, Member Gorgas
Memorial.
Good health is the greatest ma
terial blessing.
It is capital to those who labor
and prime essential to the rich, And
yet, ipany make no attempt to keep
fit, even though causes of most
cases of jioor health are prevent
able.
Eating at irregular intervals,
eating too fast, eating too highly •
seasoned food, frequent chilling of
the stomach with iced drinks, and ;
eating heavy meals while under f
nervous and mental strain all soon
! er or later impair digestion and as- \
• similation. Then the body fails to
j get the proper nourishment and
the normal 'resistance toward
disease is lowered, as is also ability
to supply the normal amount of
nervous and muscular energy.
Sleeping is next to eating in the
! plan of nature to keep the body fit.
It is a state of unconsciousness
j planned by nature to permit the 1
! human dynamo to rest and store up
\ energy for the next run. Sleep i
| should therefore, be regular and
l and sufficient. At least six hours
J for adults and more for children
| out of each twenty-four. Though 1
many of us use many of the hours i
that properly belong to the body
for sleep to keep it fit in indulging
j in the numerous frivilous social di
: versions so common to the night
| life of our country. Only a great
! crusade for beter health such as the
| Gorgas Memorial has undertaken
I can check it. This lack of sleep
has much to do with so many not
keeping fit.
Constipation so comon among
women in offices, stores, schools
and most all branches of public
work ranks high as the cause for
not keeping fit.
These are a few of th amenyz j
These are a few of the most com- j
mon though easily preventable
| causes for not keeping fit. Ask your (
family doctor how to avoid them,
and then do so, then you will have
accomplished much toward keeping
yourself fit. '

“How best
can I trade in
t.
my present car
fora new car?"
WHEN you are ready to trade in
your present car for a new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent car. But most of all you want full
new car value .
It will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
IYour present car has only one funda
mental basis of value: i.e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market
|
2 Your present car has seemingly
different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you a new car.
i , j
i • - . ;
3 The largest allowance offered is not
necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not
j .... i
4 An excessive allowance may mean
that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value.
i . * '•
t
5 First judge the merits of the new car
in comparison with its price, includ
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your presdWt car.
6 Remember that you are making a
purchase —not a sale. You are buy
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new „
i cars purchase price.
