WHY BABIES DIE
Difficulties Of Feeding
at This Season.
One Food That Meets the Test
ola Perfect Diet
What Science Has Done to Help
Mothers.
Lactated Food Fulfils All
Requirements.
September Is a Serious Month
Where It Is Not Used.

Babies die, nine times out of ten, from
improper feeding.
At this season Indigestion, diarrhea, and
cholera infantum 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 baby's diet. But this is a
serious month for children, as the high
death ra tie for September shows.
The mournful spectacle is presented OF
infants pining 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 manne Lactated
food is prepared with the true scientific
knowledge that nothing better can be done
than to follow nature as closely as possible
in the feeding of infants. Iactated food is
most like mothers milk. It has saved the
lives of thousands Of little ones. 1t III with

Some Politics from Newark.


In an article on State politics, dated
from Trenton. the Newark Eoening
NeDs makes this startling announce
ment:-
An interesting fight is looming up over the
nomination for the Mayor of Hoooken.
OF course, when the Neaos a Y it,
this must be true. The Nea0s knows
everything. But if it is true, it GER
tainly announces the earliest cam
paign on record. The next election
for Mayorof Hoboken, will take place
in April. 1895.
The Nesos' very interesting an
nouncement is chiefly important as
affording a correct gauge of the reli-
ability of all the other statements in
the article. These consist mainly of
allegations of broil and battle in the
Democratic party in almost every
county in the State. These, the Nesos
says are SO deadly that the State Com
mittee will meet next month to APP
point an Olive Branch deputation to
go forth and heal up all the breaches
in the party lines. Well, the Ecenang
Neaos must be right. The Democratic
party is just eaten up with feuds, all
of which are as active and bitter as
the present interesting fight over
the nomination for Mayor of Hobo ken.

The only fruit crop which has not been

the early summer and the recent violent
