WE STAND BETWEEN YOU AND IMPOSITION
We know all al>out watches—the quality of the case and the quality of
the works, We time and regulate every watch we sell. We guarantee
every one for five years We will look the watch over any time you call,
time it and rub up the case to make it look like new. We will keep it
under life-long supervision and see that it serves yon well and faithful.
If you get a watch from a general store 500 miles distant, it won’t he
satisfactory at the start and it will he less satisfactory ever after A 500
miles shaking and jolting is rough treatment for a new watch, and you
have no redress except to repent at leisure. We sell at the same prices
as mail order houses.

Dr. H. W. Wiley to Investigate Baby
Foods.
The news that the Bureau of Food
and Drug Inspection of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Is about to begin
a comprehensive inspection of baby
foods will interest mothers every
where. In fact, the inspections Is said
to be directly due to inquiries sent to
Dr. H. W. Wiley by mothers whose
babies Rad not thrived oq certain of
these preparations.
The Baby Food Campaign.
It is said that a poison squad may
be organized on the plan of the adult
squads that have been employed to
test canned goods and other food
products. This is probably only a
rumor, for the babies could not give
their consent to become the subjects
of such tests, and surely no parent
would be willing, even if Dr. Wiley
was inclined to risk results to the in
fant subjects of his experiments.
The “Pure Food Department” as
the bureau is popularly termed, will
no doubt find a way to make their
investigations thorough and con
clusive,. and those baby foods that
emerge, stamped with the approval
of the board will enjoy increased
prestige and prosperity.
An Expensive Experiment.
rnfortunately all work of this sort
entails great expense to all concerns
engaged in the manufacture of baby
foods. Those whose preparations
are of high grade suffering as much
as the firms producing unworthy or
deleterious foods, for, until the com-
pletion of the investigation, all these
foods are more or less under sus
picion.
Starch Indigestible.
It is said that no child under two-
and-one-half years of age, is able to
digest starch, hence this ingredient
is to be tabooed in all preparations
labeled “Baby Food.”
Whatever the requirements of Dr.
Wiley’s department may be, people
will no doubt feel much safer in using
these foods after they are stamped
with the endorsement of the depart
ment.
In baby foods, about all others. It
is essential to avoid the use of any
doubtful ingredients, since an in
fant’s digestion is a dangerous sub
ject for experiment, as too many peo
ple know to their sorrow.
The Ideal Form of Nourishment.
The ideal nourishment for a baby
is the one that Nature provides, when
the mother is thoroughly strong and
well and able to devote herself ex
clusively to the care of her child, but
as from the conditions of modern life,
an increasing number of women are
obliged to bring their children up on
artificial food, the subject of securing
the best substitute for perfect moth
er’s milk is one of wide spread and
vital interest.
Tow’s milk properly diluted, if it
can be obtained perfectly fresh, and
from a dairy where the most rigid
precautions against infection, are
maintained, is recognized as the best
substitute for the natural food. It is
because of the uncertainty that most
people feel about, the purity of the
milk supply that the prepared foods
have become popular.
Uniformity of Diet.
Another reason has been the uni
formity of diet thus secured. All re
cognized authorities agree that uni
formity of diet and surroundings are
prime necessities for the child's prop
er growth and development. It Is an
open secret known to most physicians
and trained nurses as well as to many
experienced mothers that few prepa
rations labeled “Baby Food” are as
satisfactory in results as the long
known and well tested condensed
milks of the Borden To. It Is said
that explorers find cans of the “Eagle
Brand’’ far toward the pole, as well
as in the equatorial zone in “Darkest
Africa” and no matter how long it
has been cached it is always in per
fect condition when opened.
For Traveling Purposes.
The baby that gets his nourish
ment from a dilution of this sweeten
ed absolutely pure milk, or from the
unsweetened form of the same con
densation known as “Peerless” can
be taken anywhere without interfer
ence with his diet, if only care is
taken to use a selected bottled water
in making the dilutions or a boiled
water properly cooled where that is
preferred. Too often the trip to the
country that helps the older children
in every way, acts in the opposite
direction with the baby, and the
cause, as most people know, is usu
ally some radical change in diet or
surroundings.
Pamphlets Giving Information.
Any person can obtain pamphlets
giving full and explicit directions for
the care and feeding of babies and
young children. These are distribut-
ed by many different agencies inter
ested commercially or philanthropi-
cally in this particular field. Upon
tin- chief points all authorities agree
and these requisites are perfect clean
liness of surroundings, regularity—
like clock work—in the time of feed
ing. bathing, etc., and uniform, and
unvarying excellence of the food sup
plied. Regular formulas for the dilu
tion of the milk according to the age
are given, but as babies of the same
age differ in size and general de
velopment these formulas must be
modified to suit individual needs.
A Physician’s Advice.
The advice of the family physician
should be had at once if the child
does not seem to be thriving after a
normal, happy fashion. No matter
how experienced and intelligent the
mother may be, the advice of the
trained medical man is valuable and
necessary to avoid complications that
may threaten the baby’s existence.
Sometimes more phosphates are re
quired than the milk contains and in
such cases the dilutions are usually
made with barely water.
