BABIES ARE SICK
Unprecedented Number

Infants Thrive Best Upon It and It
is Easy to Get,
There was never time for mothers to
be more careful than now.
Nearly third of the deaths in Chicago
for month past have been deaths of
babies Chicago is not an exception
Diarrhea and cholera infantum are now
more prevalent in every city in the
country than ever before at this season.
The cause CT this state of affairs is i'm
proper feeding.
Half the deaths in July, August and
September every year are of children
under FIVE years old. Yet It was never
intended; and the investi cation of health
societies everywhere has shown that
there is no reason but the ignorance and
carelessness Of mothers, for such an
abnormal loss of life in early years.
Mothers whose breast milk is faulty
should understood that lactated food is
the food that is nearer mothers milk
than any other. And they should never
fail to use it in preference to any other.
II has been shown in every investigation
that babies fed upon lactated food live
longer and thrive better than those
brought up on other diet. Lactated food
makes VIZ orous, well-nourished, active
babies when other foods fail. IL contains
the very elements for easy, perfect nu.
triton. Long trial has shown IL to be
perfectly adapted to the age of growth
when the digestive organs are making
enormous demands to meet the needs Of
growth and development.
'For upwards of eight years, have
been familiar with lactated food, SAYS
the well known Boston physician, Dr. G.
p. Thayer, "and my immediate eprofes-
sional friends and myself have it always
at hand. D" One cause Of the high esteem
of the food among physicians lies in the
known cleanliness and scrupulous care
used in its preparation.
In lactated food the combination of
the necessary elements Of pure, healthy
mothers milk is accomplished. Using
pure milk sugar as a basis, there is com
bined with it the richest elements OF
barley, wheat, and oats which by long
subsection TO high steam heat under
pressure have been perfectly cooked.
Combined with the other elements OF
the food the result is a homogeneous
product that is easily assimilated by the
feeblest stomach.
Infants thrive upon it; they grow
plump, strong, bright eyed, and clear
skinned.
The child who Is puny, pale, and
sallow Is likely to become an adult Of
inferior mental and physical powers
The child that is brought up on lactateC
food starts life with every thing in favoi
of health. Physicians Of all schools
recommend leetated food thousands O
mothers who have used it praise it
babies like it; it is within the reach o
| simple homes.

Actor Mordaunt's Great Goodness Averted
Panic nt a Theatre.
That presence of mind will avert
panic was exemplifed Sunday night
when large audience left the Schiller
theatre in an orderly manner at the re-
quest of the management. A fire had
started In the basement cafe, and the
auditorium was filled with smoke. Many
women were IN the audience and nearly
every seat was filed, yet there was no
scare, no fainting, no accidents The
production Of ''The Girl / Left Behind
Me, was given, and ample preparation
was made to refund the money Of the
patrons.
At T. 80 o'clock the threatre was be-
ginning to Gil, and the prospects Of a
crowded house were good. At s O'Clock
long line stood at the box office. the
foyer was filed, and but few seats In the
house proper were unoccupied. At S 10

Actors and actresses were hurryinl
about, gathering together their effects
ana there was considerable excitement
Those on the stage had good judgment
to remain and say their lines, and it wa

Smoke was filling the flies and audi

left their seats Word was brought [
Mr.. Temple from the front Of the bous
that the fire was in the kitchen of th
