It was feared the United States might be considered committed to the allies' trade policy thru keeping silent. It is for this reason that England's preliminary reply to the protest, glven the state department Saturday, 18 unsatisfactory to the government. In It. the British note up only the question of immediate application and extent.

It is very easy for the baby's skin to become chafed and sore either from the bathing or from garments that have lost their softness in the wash, and it always is a troublesome matter to keep nursing bottles and other utensils sweet and clean.

The only safe way is to use the mildest, purest, whitest soap to be had. That is Ivory Soap. It is impossible to make soap of higher quality, no matter what the price may be. When you use it, you know that, so far as bathing and cleansing are concerned, you are doing your best to keep baby healthy and good-natured.
