Midst” and “The Problems of Preach-
ers, ’ and the like, were the order of
the day.

MAY IS THE WORST MONTH
FOR BABIES
It has always been so; it always will be. The change of seasons up-
sets their stomach and their little bowels get bad. This may amount
to avery little, or, in a few hours, it may be very serious. Medicine
won t correct this kind of trouble. A harmless, gentle antiseptic is
the only thing that will. The perfect remedy for babies is Ware’s
Baby Powder. It is the remedy to correct babies’ ills.
Ware’s Baby Powder is the greatest boon to sick babies if their
trouble is due to weather changes; second, summer ailments or teeth-
ing, causing the stomach or bowels to become deranged. Try this
very simple perfectly harmless remedy that at once allays the inflam-
mation, cools the litle delicate organs and makes baby well.
The following letter is from the wife of the Vice-President and
General Manager of the Texas & Pacific Railway Company:
Gentlemen: I have persuaded a great many to try Ware’s Black
Powder for stomach and bowel troubles, always with good effect
the baby powder is life-saving for babies teething in this climate.
