It is difficult to find a new coat for a
small child. One might spread that
statement over the whole question of
clothes for youngsters lor the time has
gone by when hygienic and conven-

rule and the law. Mothers have again
decided to dress llieir children accord-

Honest Advertising.
yHIS is a topic we all bear now-a-days because bo many people are inclined to ex-
aggerate. Yet has any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial
properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Just ask them. We won't answer it ourselves
we know what the answer will be.
That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to
be found in its increased use the recommendation by prominent physicians and our
assurance that its standard will be maintained.
Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that
Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly
advertised Honestly placed before tho public and from which he Honestly expects to
roceivc his reward.
