A medicine for the baby er growing child--one that the mother can feel assured is absolutely safe as well as efficent--is found in Baby's Own Tab- lets. The Tablets are praised by thousands of mothers throughout thé country. These mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for her children she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles Hutt, Tancook Island, N.S. writes: "I have ten childrén, the baby being Just six months old. I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years, and can truthfully say that I know of no better medicine for little ones.

Heat not only weakens the fabric, but also softens the the rubber and causes blowouts and tire failures. Firestone chemists and engineers knew that if they could find a way to elim inate this destructive heat and internal friction, the mileage-giving qualities of tires would be greatly increased. Such a method was found and called "Gum- Dipping." The Gum-Dipping process is one of \Firestone's contributions to economical travel --in insulates and impregnates every fiber of every cord with rubber, reducing internal friction and at the same time binding the cords together by a stronger union of rubber, thus giving greater strength and flexibility to the tire. Firestone dealers everywhere --familiar with Gum-Dipping and its advantages --will gladly explain how ds of extra miles arc built into one tires: by this exclusive method.
