Save the Baby The murtallty imonr babies during the thiee teething years ia something frightful. The cenaua of 1900 shows that about one ia •very seven succumbs. The cause Is apparent. With baby's bones hardening, the fontanel (opening In the tkull) closing up and its teeth forming, all these coming at once create a demand for hone material that nearly half the little The result is systems are deflcient in. i eevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal. The deaths in 190U under thr^e years were 304,988, to say nothing of the vast number outside the big cities that were not reported, and this in the United States alone. When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry out in sleep don’t wait, and the need is neither medicine nor narcotics What the little system Is crying out for is more bone material. Sweetman's Teething Food sup plies it. It has saved the lives of thousands >f babies. They begin to improve within Here is what physicians orty-elght hours. think of It. 8884 Washington St., San Francisco, June 2, 1902.

Hweetman’B Teething Food will carry baby <aiely and comfortably through the mottt dan- <f?roun period of child life. It renders lanc ing of the gums unnecessary. It is the safest plan and a blessing to the baby to not wait for symptoms but to commence giving It the fourth or fifth month. Then all the teeth will come healthfully, without pain, dis tress or lancing. It is an auxiliary to their regular diet and easily taken.

S«m» Reallr Ft«« S«rl«s« Worths ot ValvoroaU A»e»st««o». The Japanese do not expect to gather grape« from thorns or figs of thistles, but they phrase our thought» somewhat differently. They say, “The spawn of frogs will become nothing but frogs.” We hive a saying. “Despise not tbe day of small things.” Their “Famous swords are made of Iron scrapings” is much more picturesque. Tbe idea of our “All lay tbe load on tbe willing horse” they express by “Tlioae who know the ropes do most of the hauling.” While our commonplacs “Out of evil g«x>d may come” finds with them a fine poetical expression In “Tha lotus springs from the mud,” and in point of poignancy our “Adding Insult to injury” Is vastly Inferior to their “Rubbing salt on a sore.” The Japanese bare some really fins sayings worthy of universal acceptance, such as “Thine own heart mak«*s tbe world” or "The poet at home »«•«*» tbe entire universe” ur "The throne of tbe god is on the brow of a righteous man." -Their ntee obMersnre of manners Is evidenced by sayings such as "Excess of politeness l*«*eomcx ltnpollten«*as." their national »uspiclouxiieM in tlie like of "Don't trust n pigeon to carry gralu.” and me nsmiy man s abuorretn-e ui a bungler finds expr«*ssion In numerous quips such as “ltoarning to swim iu a field" or “Scratching the f«x< with the shoe oil.
