The county, judicial and congression-

afternoon in room 226 New York Life
building. As result the official call
for tile primaries was issued and the
date of the convention fixed upon.

The LITTLE ONES
Dr.Grinne|| Recommends
LaCtated Food.
Cholera Infantum Is Reap
ing a Harvest.
Lactated Food Is the Surest
Preventive.
1WN
It Has Saved Thousands
Of Infant Lives.
Every Parent Should Now Be
Supplied With 1t.

"After using lactated food for five
years in cases of children suffering
from cholera infantum. and in debili-
tating or wasting diseases, during
which time 1t never failed me, have
pleasure in calling the attention of ply
sicians to it. and in recommending its
use."
So says A. P. Grinnell. NJ. D., the
dean of the medical faculty of the Uni
yersity of Vermont, and the statement
is published in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal.
The statement is of inestimabls value
to mothers.
More than a fifth of all the babies
born in Minnesota die before they have
lived year. And two-thirds of these
die in summer of cholera infantum and
kindred diseases.
High temperature makes it difficult for
baby's stomach to digest its usual food.
1t is then that unusual precautions
must be taken or the weak, sickly babies
fall victims to cholera lnfantum.
During hot weather strength must
somehow be kept up, and yet without
burdening and overturnIng the delicate
digestive organs. 1t is just here that
mothers and physicians find lactated
food necessary. The explanation of the
great success of this food in keeping
babies strong through the summer is
that in Its composition natures food for
babies has been the model. 1t is pleas
ant to the taste, and Is taken by babies
with relish. and Is easily digested and
aSSimilated.
1t is what physicians term pre-di-
gested food, and is especially valuable
in all weak conditions OF the digestive
organs, not only for infants, but for
Invalids and aged persons.
Mothers may stop worrying about
their babies after they have once been
put on q diet of lactated food.
Trained nurses keep laotated food on
hand even when baby is fed OH mothers
milk. In cases OF failure of the natural
milk. or when weaving or during any
possible illness of the mother, lactated
food best takes the place of the natural
food. Try it. 1t saves babies lives.

MAJ. HAsKELL's LECTURE.
The Journal Times Proprietor
Booming the Kelley Cure.

The Journal Times Proprietor
Booming the Kelley Cure.
Watertown (Dak) Public Opinion.
Maj. w. c. Haskell. of Minneapolis.
addressed large audience at the Meth
odiSt Episcopal church Sunday evening,
taking for his subject The Kelley
Cure" as remedy fol the disease of
inebriety. Maj. Haskell is a gentle
man of very pleas mt and easy address.
and entertained his audience in very
Interesting address from beginning to
end. He said alcoholism or inebriety is
one of the serious problems OF our clYili-
ZatlOn; the monStrous evil is no new
story, and for century the best men
and women of the, world have been
prayerfully asking the question, How
can we rid the world of this cursor"
One after another have come upon the
scene various organizations seeking It's
suppression. Temperance societies have
pleaded with tile drunkard to abstain,
and have persuaded many to make the
mighty struggle. Schools have placed
III their curriculum system Of teach
ing 10 educate the children upon the
evils Of the vile curse, and by these
teachings many have had their feet
turned toward the morning that other
wise would have taken bold on hell"
Others have said that our laws are lax,
and we will enact the most stringent
legislation so that the selling OF
alcohol shall be made crime
and thus we will seek to destroy its in
fluence and power. 'But,' he added,
II cannot tarry upon these agencies.
Briefly, | will say, all are good. all are
dong good work, and we will not cease
in our efforts along these lines. But
though these be efficient they are not
sufficient. so long as mans appetite
for alcohol remains there are many who
will in some way secure 1t, and there
will be many who will pander to their
appetite. Strange as it may appear to
you, the drunkard himself has many
times been asking this same question.
He has said. L will quit, l must quit"
Many times he mas gone down on his
kneSs in agony before God and prayed
for strength to overcome his
terrible thirst. And when the demon
has awakened within him again he has
cried out, Why will not God help me?
Have l sinned away my day of grace"
If the drunkard himself is to be saved.
the present agencies are not enough;
they must be supplemented by some
thing else"
The major then branched out upon
discussion of the Kelley cure, declaring
it to be one of the great agencies OF
modern times for the eradication OF the
drink habit. There are from fifteen to
twenty Kelley graduates in this city.and
nearly every one of them is doing we'll,
laying up little money for rainy day.
They regard the institution as God.
