VERY THEATRICAL MARRIAGE.
Performed by Justice Geiger and
Complicated With Two Divorces.

Performed by Justice Geiger and
Complicated With Two Divorces.
Justice Geiger last evening united in mar
riage Mr.. Theodore Babcock and Miss May
Hosrner, actor and actress, of New York, in
marriage. The union adjusts a matrimonial
snarl which caused much comment in New
York theatrical circles a short time ago.
Miss Hosmer originally married Will Nc
Connell, manager of the American Theatre
cal Exchange at Nc. 1850 Broadway. He, it
is alleged, was intoxicated at the time and
remembered nothing of hiss marriage to Miss
Hosmer until she reminded him of it a year
| afterwards. He asked her to join him, but
she in the meantime had procured a divorce
and remarked. Her second venture was
with Mr.. Babcock. Mcconnell, believing
that his wife's divorce was all right, mar
| ried a Miss Sherwood. Recently he discov-
cred that the alleged divorce of his first
wife, procured in chicago, was invalid. A
friendly suit was brought in New York and
legal severance was made sure. Mcconnell
then remarked his wife, nee Miss Sherwood,
and Babcock now adjusts his end of the diti-
Guilty by remarrying Mrs. Babcock, nee
| Hosmer.
The ceremony was witnessed by J. J..
| Spires. Louis Parsons and Police Commits

WAYS by which babies lives may be ap-
s~oIutely insured against cholera infantum
and the wasting disorders of hot wealth
err. One is healthy mothers milk, ana
the other is lactated food.
In eight cases out of ten where a
physician is called because the baby IS
not doing well,' he sees that all that Is
needed is a more nourishing diet, and
after advising such a rich but easily as
simulated nutriment as lactated food the
child shows right off a gain in weight
and color and liveliness-
This most remarkable of all infant
foods has great nourishing powers. 1t
is made with the most s~crupulous atten-
ton to purity and freedom from any
source of c%ontagion. 1t fills the tiny
| veins and arteries with ruddy, pure blood
| Sound sleep follows it's use, n rapid
growth comes as naturally from a we'll
fed system as sleep does when the ner-
vous centers are properly nourished.
Sunshine is food; it is meat for strong
men, but the very young, the aged and
the feeble are wilted and worsted by the
fierce heat. For them. as well as for
mothers trying to nurse their children
through the hot summer, nothing so
quickly and easily keeps them strong as
lactated food. Every intelligent mother
at once understands why it is possible
| for lactated food to build up the tissues
so rapidly and to give strength to babies
and persons with delicate stomachs
when her physician explains to her the
simple ingredients of this preparation
sugar of milk and the nutritive qualities
| of wheat, barley and oats.
a1J1- Ill oal -zi1a MT tho 90 of
the baby, should determine it's food"
says DR.. A. Siebert of the N. Y. Polych-
mic Children's Hospital. At the first in
dication that baby is not thriving, give
it lactated food. But be sure to feed it
| regularly. Lactated food will plump out
the cheeks of thin, pale-lipped babies
| and make them gain steadily in weight.
For weanin babies and during the teeth
ing period there is no substitute for lac
tated food. 1t resembles in every re-
| spect healthy mothers milk. 1t is par
ticularly grateful to nervous, fretful
children who are hungry and insuffici-
emily nourished, yet find their usual
food displeasing to their weak and dis
turbed stomachs.
ASK the first mother you talk with
| what she knows about lactated food.
1t will be hard in many communities to
find a mother who has brought up a fam
lily who has not a personal knowledge of
this splendid nourishment. Says Mrs. d.
C. Baker of Tifin, Ohio, whose baby is
shown above:-
eve have been SO well pleased with
the use of lactated food for our baby
that we feel like doing something to fur
Their the use of it by special recommen-
dation. Our baby was very delicate
when born and weighed but three
| pounds. We were very soon compelled
to resort to artificial food, and by the
advice of DR.. H. c. Wells, our family
physician, we commenced using lactated
food, since which time she has made a
| steady, healthy growth, and has never
| had one single day of sickness in six
teen months. and we have never lost
one hour of sleep on account of teeth
