her family and that of Marshal Nc
Mahon are connected, has long been
well known to those who know the
lady. She is herself displeased at the
imputation of snobbishness in the
proclamation of these facts and has al
ways refrained from mentioning them.
1t is absurd, however, to suppose that
Mrs. Croker means to live in France.
1t is certain that such an idea was
never seriously entertained by her,
and the rumors of one kind and an
other circulated in New York about
Mrs. Croker are due, it is understood,
to the jealousy of some who view her
rapid social rise with envy. Whenever
it is desired to annoy Mrs Croker some
absurd story is started, as, for instance,
that she is studying the Chinese
language or that she intends to put
four horses to her carriage, both of
which statements never had any truth
in them. Mrs. Croker pays no heed to
this gossip and never takes the trouble
to contradict it.

capitalists are uniting to bring q bout
better state of affairs by being reason
ably liberal with the wealth they con-

treatment of debtors. Thus it comes
about that not only in New York. but
all over the country, better state of

adding to the general stringency by
calling in loans and making debtors
miserable ne has tried to secure indul-
gence for them. Although his income
is over seventy-ive thousand dollars
year, Mr.. McCurdy lives most simply
and inexpensively. and what he spends
upon himself would not be extrava-

Of his clerks. Much of his money goes
in charities and gifts of which the pub

Happy Wichita Mothers Whose

The extraordinary mortality from var

summer has led 10 careful inquiry, and
the best authorities Oh the subject in this
city have freely expressed their opinions.
Several Of the best known physicians
in Wichita were interviewed yesterday,
and the following question asked:
Gin view of the large death rate this
summer of infants in Wichita, what do
you recommend:
The general sentiment of the profess
eJn was voiced in the following state
ment from one Of the most successful
practitioners among children. lie said:
There is nothing equal to the lactated

infants, find that lactated food answers
WE'LL
Many happy mothers in Wichita have
used laclated food successfully where
everything else failed. They say that
this food has kept their children strong
and we'll during the dangerous summer
season and nnapy of them have recon-
mendeG it TO friends, Mo have had the
same happy experience.
The principal element of mothers milk
is sugar of milk. THIS is the bass of
iactatet food. With it combined the
nutritious elements of the great cereals,
WIKI at and barley, and the necessary
bone forming salts. This makes lac;at-
ed food perfect and natural substitute
for mothers milk.
1t must be bJrne in mind that lactated
food is SO inexpensive that it is within
the reach of every family. $50 meals
can he made from o dollar package of
the food. and prepared for infants, it
costs less than five cents a quart
Mothers should remember that cholera
infantum can be more easily prevented
than cured. Simply feed the baby with
pure iactated food and the child will
keep well and strong.

the fruits persisted. and the ancestor,
climbing down, began with rats and

Invented fire. Also, the cold made

rather an unsubstantial speculation,
since Prof, Prestwitch, for in

Americans are generally credited

honors in this branch OF science is a
Norwegian. In the machine which he
has produced the mechanical mixer

squeezed from the upper ends down
to the bottom.
The operator turns n handle and
the machine does the rest. The rsiilk
flows through a funnel into the milk
can and the operator can thus see the
COW Is MIXED clean; that Is to say,
when no morn milk flows. IL is claim
ed that cows like the process and keep
perfectly quiet during the operation.
II IS also said that even in the case
OF cows with sore teRts the animals
stand more quietly than when MIXED
by hand, as the mechanical pressure
Is more even and softer and throws
less strain on the milking organs. 1t
is obviously, too, an advantage that
the Questionable habit OF dipping the
hand into the milk and the conse-
qucnt liability to contaminate the
milk Is dispensed with entirely in the
