WAllER'S APPEAL.
Points Out FIimsy Charge and Suspicious
Testimony On Which He Was Convicted.

Baker has received an autograph letter
from John Waller. eX- consul at Tamativc
written in his cell in French prison
touching upon his Imprisonment. Waller
says:
Il wish heie to direct your attention to
my case, of which you are already aware
and to ask you to use every honorable and
available means at your disposal, both as
senator and friend, to secure to me as
an American citizen the restoration of my
liberty, of which 1 am now deprived by
our sister republic, Franco. will thank
you If you will kindly call at tho state
department and carefully examine the
copy of the letters which | wrote TO my
wife and one to George f. Tesiere. The
latter is British subject and a business
man i'll Madagascar, and Is In no way
connected with the Malagass or Hoya
army, nor has he ever borne arms against
the French government, and certainly my
wife has not. Nor is she an enemy to
France in any sense whatever
If Mr. Tesiere Is an enemy to France,
In so far as l know or have seen, 1t may
be that he is considered as such from the
fact that he is an energetic competitor and
business rival of houses controlled by
French citizens in Madagascar. As you
are lawyer of long experience, I ask you
to carefully notice the testimony of Captain
Laversot on this point and note at the
same time that 1t was ON his testimony
that the prosecution seem to have based
the charge that l was guilty of correspond
ing with the enemy of France / submit
that the evidence for the prosecution ut
tcrly failed to sustain or support the charge
under which l was convicted and SEN

lactated Food a Substitute For
Mothers Milk.
Change From One to the Other. Causes

Healthy mothers milk is unquestionably
the best infant food.
But this best of foods, so long rs 1t Is rich
and nourishing, becomes the source of mis-.
chief as soon as it grows weak, watery, and
lacking In the power of feeding.
Towards the close of the nursing PEI iod,
or when nursing is protracted through tho
entire hot summer, few mothers are ablc
to nurse their growing babies as they ought
1t Is rare that the breast milk docs not show
decided falling off in richness Infants fed
at the breast on such milk, insufficient I'm

in colicky attacks and In diminished growth
from week to week Their dropping heads
are continually moist and n pained drawn
expression tho sign of weakness, often
steals over their faces.
No mother can be long in doubt about
what to do
The food must be changed to a rich, safe
diet of lactated food. Parents sometimes
make the mistake of employing cows milk
without personal knowledge Of its fitness
for baby's food. Trouble ensues In many
cases. Diarrhna and cholera infantum
tutes Fully one half of the infant deaths
are caused by improper feeding.
When breast milk is Insufficient or the
mother not well, laoated food may be abso-
lutely relied on to take the place of vigor-
GUS mothers milk
1t is endorsed by the best physicians, by
nurses and by happy grateful mothers In
every town and village in the land.
No less an authority than Dr. GUERNSEY,
the senior editor of the New York Medical
Times, says that he uses lactated food with
his children. He says that 1t is pleasant to
the taste and easily digested and assimilat-
ed. The famous DR.. Agnew, as Is well
known among physicians, was one of the
first to publicly recommend the food. DIR. j.
Lewis Smith, perhaps the greatest author
ity In the country on children's diseases,
professor In Bellevue Hospital College,
New York, oommcnds Its use. There are
hundreds of physicians in New England,
says the Boston Journal, who prescribe lac
tated food invariably as the nearest ap-
preach to healthy mothers milk, and as a
rich baby food that builds up the strength
and bodies of young children and invalids.

Monk, FIRST Duke Of Albemarle, the only
change in the trappings Of the horses
being that the animals were only plum

Tn n CyclCne.

In describing cyclone in the West,

wind actually stripped the feathers
from rooster. or course, many people
set :he teller oe the story down as a
Slunchausen, and argued that a wind
that could do 80 much would have
blown q fowl half way across the At
lantic. But scientific research sustains
the story. Tornadoes which have vis-
tied this country and parts Of Europe,
II has been found afterwurd, OH i2ves-
tlgation, have done some very myster.-
bus things. Not only have birds been
stripped of their feathers, but people
have bad their clothing torn from them.

walled in France last summer numerous
occurrences Of this character were OBJ
served. Trees were found rent in q
manner which could not possibly have
resulted from the wind. Oaks were

their stems cut clean through leaving
