.'sMITHY" NEVER swoRE ONCE,

In an article in the Waterbury Ameri-
 can, reviewing connection of 20 years
 with the paper, w. A. Bacon makes this
 reference to Reuben fl. Smith,
 It is hard to think now that the editor used 10 go out into the composing room and put his own copy into type when the working force was weakened for a day for any cause, but he did, very frequently. Dear old 'Smithy," he was the editor in those days "before the Gen. tennial," and the writer is glad to do him tribute by acknowledging that all he knows of the mechanical end of the profession he owes to "Smithy's" painstaking patience in trying to teach an awkward boy how to put a newspaper page together as the two of us worked over the pages ot the weekly edition two evenings each week. It was serious bus1- ness then, for the boy was more apt than not to make q "pi" that would delay matters for an hour or more, but "Smithy" never swore once. He never even thought swear. In tact his most violent outburSt never got beyond, "Ah, that's too bad," and then he would set patiently to work to save what he could out of the wreck. Ready to proceed once more, he would say. "Now let's be as careful as we can and not have any more accidents"-as if he were the bungler himself. Yes. it was serious business then, but in retrospect 1t seems like a huge joke-on "Smithy." He thought the boy was helping him-for he used | to go into his own pocket to pay for those evening services-whle in reality he was helping the boy all the time. Helping him to learn the at of hewspaper-mak1ng with a gentle kindness that falls to the lot of few printers "devils."

TALKS WITH morHERs.-ro. 3.


 Every mother wants her baby to thrive, because healthy child is a happy child. The question of how the baby shall be fed is demanding the attention, as never before not only of the mothers in the land, but of the entire medical profession also, because itis now realized how much the health of . child can be influenced by proper nutrition during the years of babyhood. As the re- suit of the improper feeding of the infant, the vitality of the child is impaired, and he grows up weak and puny. In these days when artificial food is being so generally re- sorted to for infants, the demand for sub stitute for mothers milk has brought out many foods for which great claims arc made. Gustav MelliD, an English chemist, was the first to discover and combine the requisite properties necessary for an arti- ratiot.a feeding of infants commenced. . Mellin's Food is the only perfect substitute for mothers milk, and 1t has done more to make babies strong and healthy than any. thing else that has ever been invented. Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite heat ard flesh producing and bone-forming constituents necessary to give . child ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon 1t when nothing else can be retained upon the stomach. If they have been weak, fretful and troublesome they become happy, healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy cheeks. firm muscles and . strong consti. this excellent preparation. Mellin's Food, being highly nutritious and easily diEested. is also perfectly adapted to the wants of inc valids and cOnvRlescentS.
