that the Burlington has agreed for the

OF the Chicago brokers that the cases

Some Good Suggestions to Parents
About Proper Feeding.

Paul mother yesterday, ''but when l
saw how miserable the hot, parched air
made my little children feel, l took
courage and tried to endure it,
Hot weather is depressing to grown
up people, but 1t is positively killing for
little children. There are dangers in
the air and in the water; cholera in
fantum and the various troubles which
children have, come down upon the
little band like an army. At first,
parents notice a languor and peevish-
ness on the part of the child. Instead
of being full of life and emery, it appears
miserable. Instead of being hungry
most of the time, it does not care for
food. and even if it takes food, its
stomach 100 often rejects it. 1t is dam
gerous time for any child when these
things occur. 1t is time when the lit
tie one must be fed, must he nourished.
1t is time when pure food, which it's
little stomach will receive and turn into
vitality, must be given. Parents too
often fail to realize this, and fail to take
proper care, until unfortunately 1t is too
late.
IHClO io OuC Vic pre-
pared food for children, and that is lac
tated food. There are more than one
hundred thousand children in this land
today who unquestionabIy owe their
live to its use. The GLOBE could be
filled with the grateful words of fathers
and mothers who realize what it has
done for their children.
The child of Edward l.. Clifford, ESQ.,,
800 Market street, San Francisco. CAL,
is one whose case has attracted great
attention on the Pacific coast. and has
been reported in some of the Eastern
medical journals. Mr. Clifford says:
when born, my baby weighed AZ
pounds, and was SO poor that the skin
hung on him in folds and wrinkles.
HIS trials were only begun, for the
nurse did not seem to think il worth
while to save such poor little specimen
of humanity, and neglected him His
mothers milk disagreed with him, ard
he grew, if possible, thinner than when
bora. The physician advised us to use
lactated food. The baby began to I'M
prove as soon as it commenced using
this food. and fattened up remarkably.
Since then he has not had sick day or
hour"
Papers throughout the country have
printed many letters this summer from
physicians and parents. urging the use
of lactated food, while boards of health
in many sections have co-operated with
the manufacturers in its introduction,
for it saves babies lives.

W. Gregg, grain and -four dealer of
Belfast, Ireland, was in Minneapolis
yesterday. Mr.. Gregg is one Irishman
who is not in favor of home rule. He
says it would be undesirable to intro
duce it there now. 1t would mean the
government of Ireland by the CothoIic
priests. The Irish peasant, he says, is
too ignorant to be trusted with the bal
lot. He does believe in local self-gov-
eminent. Mr.. Gregg was asked the
effect upon the linen industry of Belfast
of the Mckinley bill. This is what he
said:
1.-THE effect has been the reverse of what
might have been expected l had better
speak for Belfast alone, for l know more
about that city. More linen is sold to Amer
lea by great deal than before the bill went
into effect. The fact is that America does
not manufacture linen. The shipments re-
naming the same. the burden imposed by
the Mckinley tariff falls wholly on the con-
sumner in this country. Manufacturers sim

obstreperous Young Christian.

There is trouble in the Central Bap-
list church because of the existence of
/ Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor in that church. The Christian
Endeavor society declined to recognize
the Young Peoples Baptist union Ly
refusing to elect delegates to the ma
tiOnal convention of the union in De-
sroit July II, II. This refusal was un-
expected, as the union never interferes
with the individuality of the Emdeayor
societies. But the election of delegates
was refused, and the church took up
the matter and appointed the delegates,
without consulting the young people.
There Is talk of forming young peo-
pies society that shall affiliate with the
Baptist union and run in opposition to
the Christian EmdeavOr. The old heads
Of the church are worried.
