THE enterprise of the Academy OF
Music has been displayed, this summer
in the complete renovation of the house.
Considerable improvements in the struc-
lure of the building have been made.
and the entire auditorium has been re-
decorated. New carpets and draperies
have been provided, and a new drop cur
tain completes the Identification of the
theatre. The liberality displayed by Mrs.
Henderson deserves general recognition
on the part of the amusement loving
people. The house is to be opened for
the season on Monday with an excellent
play, Augustus Pitou and George H.
Jessup's Power of the Press" This
play. though not new, is a great fav-
orite. 1t drew crowded houses last year,
and it is good enough to bear seeing
again. 1t ought to be a first rate draw
ing card. The season, it is promised. will
be filed up with attractions of an equally
high order. The public should respond
in such fashion as to justify the efforts
made by the Academy to cater to their
wishes.

NO MORE FREE BATHS.
Close of a Season Of Good
Work-People's Palace
Notes.

To the Editor of The Jersey Citg NeUs.-
September is here, and with it comes cool
weather, which will prevent our continuing
the free baths for the boys, and as prepare
tions must be made for the fall opening OF
the Peoples Palace work, it is deemed best
to suspend operations for a while in the
bathing department. During the week end
ing last evening S6S baths were given, and
the total number 1902 during the six weeks.
The unwashed AVE been washed. and the
boys who have had this boon will be better
scholars at school, will sleep better, avoid
disease better, and will be better and hap
pier in every way.
Had we commenced this philanthropic
work earlier in the season we could easily
have given the 1900 baths proposed. Next
year we will begin on time. The contribu-
lions have not been what we hoped they
would be and what was needed, and yet we
went forward. trusting in the generosity of
the public. Offerings at any time will be
appreciated, not only for this special depart
ment, but for the general work of the Peo-
pies Palace, and all contributions will be ac-
knowledged by the Treasurer. During the
week we have received the following dona-
lions for the baths and are very grateful for
them

cause of this trouble lies either in the
bad food the baby had received or in
the want of n~ourishment, which is
rapidly impairing his constitution.
Then she feeds the infant with the good
lactated food. and her fear disappears
in the happy smiles of the baby.
Thousands of mothers know by expert
ence that lactated food surely prevents
cholera infantum and other summer dis
orders of a like character. and in hun
dreds of cases it has cured the severest
attacks of these diseases. 1t is not safe
to be without lactated food in the house.
Babies that are not gaining in weight,
as their mothers wish, and who show too
little animation and interest in things
about them soon gain a liveliness and
zest for living when fed with this SPLEEN
did nutriment. They gradually cry less
and less: their sleep becomes sound by
night, and by day they are bright and
noisy and happy.
Such is the great difference between
babies that are nourished by lactated
food AMI those that are poorly, because
improperly, fed.
There is no parent in the land but
can read the following letter with profit.
1t is from L. D. wager, a well-known
lawyer in Alton. Ill. and tells how his
brothers child became the stout,
sturdy y%oungster whose portrait is
shown above. He writes:-
My baby nephew, Henry Hewitt
wager, was born January II, 1892. OF
that event he might quote Richard III.
by saying, Sent before my time into this
breathing world, scarce half made up.
At birth he weighed three pounds, and
there were few who thought he could
live. The mother was unable to nurse
him, and this made the case all the more
complicated. Sterilized milk was used,
likewise goats milk, and three or four
kinds of baby food, but all to no advant-
age.
In July it seemed a hopeless case, but
luckily on the thirteenth of that month
a package of lactated food was procured
which acted like a charm and he picked
up right away. Before using the food the
skin was wrinkled on his hands,, and he
was a frail, sickly little body. The pic
ture 1 send you was taken in 1892, when
the baby was eight and a half years old.
He had used lactated food for something
like 10 weeks, and there is no need to
comment on his condition. The picture
will show for itself. He still uses the
food, and there is one thing certain
iactated food saved his life"
