September is a Serious Month
Where it is Not Used.

Babies die, nine times out Of ten, from
improper feeding.
At this season indigestion, diarrhosa and
cholera ihfantum do their fearful mischief
quickly.
Mothers whose children have lived
through August too often think that the
great peril is over, and often grow careless
in attention to babies diet. But this is
serious month for children, as the high
death rate for September shows.
The mournful spectacle is presented OF
infants piniug away and dying from causes
which might be avoided if mothers knew
more about the great advances of science
in infant feeding.
Physicians and nurses who have had large
experience with sick children in cities and
towns emphasize the fact that homes where
lactated food is used escape wasting disease
in a most significant manner. Laotated
food Is prepared with the true scientific
knowledge that nothing better can be done
than to follow nature as closely SIS possible
in the feeding Of infants. Lsctated food is
most like mothers milk. 1t has saved the
lives of thousands of little ones. 1t is
within the reach of all. Use 1t.

During the First Two Hours the
Course of Prices Was Marked by
IrreguIarity - The Opening Was
Ragged, But In the Afternoon the
Market Fairly Doomed.
NEw YORK Sept. 5.-Irregularity marked the
course of prices at the stock exchange during
the first two hours OF business. The opening as
rather ragged, some stocks showing advances
while others scored declines. The reactionary
tendency in certain parts Of the list was due to
selling by holders who were of the opinion that
Saturday 8 advance was too rapid to hold. The
offerings were absorbed about midday, however,
when it was seen that the impression made on
values was important The market proved
superior to reports OF poor railway earnings and
selling by conservative holders, and in the after
noon fairly doomed. Prices bounded up II pei
cent. at a time in some instances. The gain was
most pronounced in stocks Of properties recently
alleged to have been In danger Of recelyerships
General Electric rose from 463s to an.
Other notable gains were Pullman Palace Cal

Manhattan 3sS Missouri Pacific ~, and Wheel

The rise led to realizations, but in the flna
transactions the market was firm. Evansville
and Terre Haute stock broke 10 points on sale
OF 500 shares. The break was attributed to tn,

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a

testimony of others no reasonable man

not self praise in the slightest degree.
They have stood the test for over thirty
years, and in proof of their merits it ID

Ea.cts of the ssor.a ON frees.

The discoloring and apparent dying Of
the foliage on many trees since the recent
wind storms, especially near the shore, has
been a subject of general comment, and
the only reason assigned has been the &C
ton of the salt wish which the atmos-
phere was laden and which the high winds
carried In some instances more than o
mile. That the salt spray was not alto
gether the cause is evident from careful
examination made of the trees farther in
land. Many of them present the same ap-
pearancs, except, perhaps, to less degree,
and they are so far from the coast as to
preclude the possibility of any salt reach
ing them. Even near the shore the foil
age Is only affected on one eide-the south,
and only those trees have been damaged
which border forests or groves on the
south side or which stand isolated from
other trees. It is fair to conclude, there
fore, that the terrible whipping the trees
received on the exposed side had fully as
much to do with the injury to their foil
age as did any salt spray brought from
tide water.
