BEST FOOD FOR BABIES.
Urgent Necessity at This Time Of the Yea
of Putting Them Upon the Safest Diet.

Urgent Necessity at This Time OF the Year
of Putting Them Upon the Safest Diet.
Take care at all times, but especially
now of baby's food.
Upon the purity and strength giving
quality Of the food and especially upon
its fitness for hot weather diet depend
baby's life
When the little ones flesh is fabby,
blood thin and poor, color white, and
temper uneven, If not irritable, there Is
an urgent necessity for change. lt is
time to put the baby at once upon lac
tated food, which contains all the essen
tials OF a perfect diet. II furnishes
abundant material for rapid growth and
development.
When the mothers milk is insufficient
in quality and quantity for baby's healthy
growth, any one who stops to think
must know that the infant food which
most closely resembles mothers milk
must be used. This is undoubtedly
lactated food It is used and recon-
mended by the best physicians in every
community in the country. Il has re-
ceived more testimonials within the past
month from happy mothers than could
be printed in a score of such columns as
these, and the fact that it is not expen-
sive. but is within everybody reach, and
can be obtained at any drug store,
Evening journal., 1893-08-18

makes It even more a boon. Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Soutar, who live on Camp
bell street, Sandusky, Ohio, owe their
happiness to lactated food. They write
when our baby, Ruth, was sick there
was nothing that would stay on her
stomach. The doctor advised the use of
lactated food, and very thankful we are,
for in a short time it worked wonders.
She is now large, healthy child. Her
age is one year and four months We
are convinced that if it had not been for
the timely use OF lactated food cur baby
would have died We now have another
little one that we are raising Oh lactated
food, we have such faith in IL, and we
also recommend il to all our friends
Hundreds Of such testimonials have
been published. Hundreds Of little ones
in this state owe their lives to lactated
food.

CHOLERA In INDIA.
How the Scourge Is Spread Among
the People.
An Utter Lack OF Sanitary Precaution
Makes of the villages Perfect
breeding Ground for the
Disease Germs.

A plain story of the conditions that
prevail in India for the spread 81 the
cholera was told lately at the New
Century club by DIR. Pauline Root Of
the Woman's medical college, who has
lived for eight years in southern India,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. DIR.
Root began by describing the condi-
tions under which people live in south
ern India in order to show exactly
what circumstances generate the
cholera. There is absolutely no san
itation there, as we have it. Drainage,
with the exception of fever breeder
in the way of an open sewer, is un-
known. In the villages the people
live in low mud huts, where all the
family congregate in one room, the di-
mansions of which are likely to be
four feet by ten or twelve feet. As
there are no outbuildings at all there
is no way in which persons can protect
themselves against the cholera il it
once appears in such household.
Sometimes, il the well runs dry, stag
nant water must be used. A high
caste parsonage will not allow low
caste to use his we'll.
Commonly people go to the river for
water. AS the water is frequently
not on the surface stub" is dug in the
river bed and the water allowed to coll
lect. AT this tub, or at the well, all
the functions of bathing are per-
formed. First the jar is filed, and the
water being dashed over the person
soon trickles back to its source. In
the case of certain religious enthusi-
asts water is poured over the body fifty
times. Next the seely, the single
piece of silk or cloth which is worn as
a garment, must be washed. This is
dipped into the pool. Finally the jar is
refilled and carried home. The quail
ity of the water by the time the jar is
refilled is promising indeed when
cholera is in the air. In these river
tubs the clothes are washed. The cat
tie are taken there 20 drink.
DIR. Root said that in sending man
to the river to fetch water there was
never any certainty that he would not
fill his jar with the water standing in
one of the pools, instead of digging a
fresh hole. The very cleanliness Of
the people, and they are extremely
clean, tends to the spread of cholera,
because their method of bathing is SO
unintelligent. Insouthern India there
is always more or less cholera. 1t is
often prevalent after certain reli-
gious festival--of the marriage of two
divinities-which is celebrated by an
encampment in the river bed for four
or five days.
AS for facilities in caring for the sick
in India, DIR. Root graphically showed
how forlornly poor these are by de-
scribing her experience in the house of
the vice president of the municipality

of Madua, wealthy man, who arrayed
himself resplendently when he came I
ask her 10 visit his wife, thus showing
his solicitHde for his wife's condition
Undoubtedly he meant to do the best
he could for the sick woman, for the
doctor found her in q room adjacent to
her husband's-a position of honor
The woman was badly crippled and
only able to crawl down from her cot
Beyond playing with the children and
polishing the jewels nothing relieved
the monotony of her day. She was en-
tirely uncared for. A hole in the wall
for refuse was cleaned only once day,
The woman died of blood poisoning.
And this is the way sick person Jared

The alley usually has black, Shiny wa.

square. In the court are often found
the COW, chickens and a number fper
sons. No wonder that, under such
conditions, cholera spreads like wild
fire. But cholera is always brought

KEPT IN THE FAMILY.
Trades That Are Handed Down from Ia

II is quite possible that the Japan.
csc teacher of dancing and department
who, few weeks ago, celebrated the
one thousandth anniversary of the es.
Enlistment of his business by are.
mote ancestor, may have done so upon
authentic grounds. Still, japanese do
mestic chronology is apt to become q
little foggy when you get back few
hundred years.
Possibly more authentic are the two
cases which follow. The first is that
of the family of Aaron, who practiced
the duties of the priesthood continu.
ously from B. G. 1920 TO B. C. SIS, or for
1852 years,
The second is that of the family OF
Purkiss, whose ancestor found the
body of William Rufus in the New
Forest in the year 100, and who car.
ried on the occupation of charcoal
burning generation after generation
until the last of the family died, in
IS46.
This makes seven hundred and forty
six years-that is to say, the Purkiss
family burnt charcoal for fourteen
years longer than the descendants OF
Aaron performed the duties of the
Jewish Priesthood, not counting the
time it had done so before the death
of Rufus.
