A TRAVELLING FAKE.
A Beardless Barley Fiend Finds Custom
ers- in Franklin Township He Camps
in q School House.

A fake barley-seed vender came
through Franklin township yesterday
exhibiting what he alleged TO be a SUI
perior quality of beardless barley and
selling it at Is cents per pound or IS per
bushel. He had worked during the past
summer for Mr.. Steel and John Walters
north OF the city, he also claimed to
come from Hartford, Minnehaha. When
he reached B. B. Bowel he had already
taken several orders for barley and
among other things required the
farmer to sign a contract that he would
not sell the barley he raised for seed
as that would interfere with his own
field or business, not more than four
bushels would be sold to n man. He
sold a pound or two of the samples Of
barley at 25 cents a pound az he vent
along, took orders for more and said he
would send along contract to be signed
later. Mr.. Bowel refused to take the
pen he offered him to sign an order and
he left. Yesterday morning when
Mr.. Bowel sent his boy over to the
school house where his wife teaches, to
kin die the fire, the boy found that some
one had broken in through the window,
made free use of everything IN the room,
scattered coal around in an effort to keep
mp fire and had camped there during the
night, stealing the Ratchet when the lef.
in the morning. During the day Mrs.
Bowell found in the coal-box the identi-
cal pen-holder which the fake berley
seed vender had offered her husband the
day before to sign an order for barley.
B. B. was in town early this morning,
hoping to meet the fellow and return
him his quill.

The fearful number of infant deaths this
month, especially from cholera infantum, is
due to the ignorance of well-meaning mothers
Improper food is the cause of nine-tenths
Of all the infant mortality.
Mothers milk, when healthy and sufficient,
is the ideal infant food, and it will never be
surpassed.
But when in the first year of the baby's life
recourse must be had to other food, or when
the time comes for weaving the child, lactated
food should be given in preference to any
thing else 1t has saved the lives Of hum
dreds ofbabies. There is no mother in the
land but can read the following letter with
profit. 1t is from Mrs. G. NJ. Chids of Elkton
Md, the mother of the three children whose
pictures appear above. 1t is written to the
manufacturers of lactated food in Burlington,
Vt:
"This is a photograph of my three little

tated food.
Lactated food was recommended to me by
DR.. George Gillispie, of ConowingO, Md, six
years ago. when the eldest was a baby. My
present baby was born May 10, 1892. At the
end of six weeks my physician advised me to
use sterilized milk. l did so for few weeks
but she did not seem TO thrive.
"She continued to grow thin and became
very much emaciated. At the end of six
months she weighed the same as at her birth,
which was eight pounds. The doctor thought
it doubtful if she survived. Without con-
sulting him further, resorted to the use oi
lactated food, as had done before with the
others, procuring it from II. H. Mitchell, Of
this town.

perceptible. At the end of two months the

doctor, neighbors and friends were amazed at
the great change in her condition.
"The doctor said What has caused this
changer
"My reply was: Lactated food
'He remarked 1T is evidently the right
food, although he had at times recommended
another, not being familiar with this one. As
you see her in the picture, attribute her
healthy appearance to the use Of lactated
food"
Mothers who have used lactated food agree
that it best supplies the materials for baby's
rapid growth and development.
Lactated food is prepared with a regard for
purity, cleanness, and freedom from possibil-
ity of contagion that merits all the praise that
has been so lavishly bestowed upon it by ply
sicians and grateful mothers.

oats are 80 prepared as to be easily assimilated

er's milk, fit for meeting every demand of the
rapidly growing child.
Lactated food has tided thousands of babies
this summer through the sickly hot days. 1t
should be in the hands of every parent. As
one of the greatest specialists on chldren's
diseases has well said
1T is worse than thoughtless for mothers
who think and read to neglect lactated food,
when 80 many mothers eagely tell Of their own
accord how it has saved their babies lives and
made them strong, healthy, plump, and full
of life"
Lactated food can be had of any druggist.

not affected by age or temperature.

A Brave Little Girl.

Many years ago, in Liverpool, Eng
land, little baby girl first saw the
light Of day-a sweet child, pretty
and very bright; but, alas with her
advent came great sorrow, or as a poet
of time expressed it,
"Joy opened the door and entered in,
But lust behind q shadow came;
'Twns Sorrows self that followed there" ."
for the dear baby had neither arms nor
hands. The little one grew and pros
pered Day by day she went to school
with her mates, and learned her les
sons we'll. But her family was very
poor, and all through her childhood
Sarah Doudney (that was the name Of
this poor child) was thinking, "What
can I do to help my poor father and
mother ?"
Can any of you who are blessed in
the possession of two strong hands
and arms guess what Sarah concluded
to do? Well, I will tell you. She
learned to draw all by herself, holding
her pencil between her toes When
people living near learned of her won
derful perseverance, and ingenuity
one and another offered to help her
until she had reached the goal Of hc1
ambition and could paint well enough
to paint miniatures, as was the fash
ion at that time. Happy, indeed
was this persevering, industrious
young girl when at last she could rent
