instruction on purgatory. This. he said
the church teaches is 4 place where the
atonement of sins that have been for

a term of purgation for all the offences

1t Is only through the prayers OF the

There IS an intercommunicatio

only in such way that the militant

impressed upon his hearers the neces-

PREPARING FOR THE PAVE.
That Explains Work Traction Company
Is Doing mt Spruce and Penn.

The appearance Of a gang of Trac-
tion company trackmen tearing up the
old pavement at Spruce street and
Penn avenue at noon yesterday started
a rumor that the company proposed re-
suming the Spruce street route for the
incoming Green Ridge and Dunmore
suburban cars. To Tribune reporter
General Manager Sllllman said the old
pavement was to be torn up only at the
junction of the two thoroughfares and
was u part of the work of putting in
new pave between the company's s
rails at that point
"Do you intend running cars on the
old Spruce street route?" asked the
reporter.
Possibly. some time" replied Mr..
Silliman.
When asked If the recent notifica-
ton of the street commissioner that all
disconnected tracks be removed had
anything to do with the Spruce street
work. MIR. Silllman replied In the mega
tive and said the company had no
tracks that would not be used. He said
a change would be made In the pres
ent routes of some lines in the central
city, but he could not talk specifically.

WANT NO CURTAILMENT.
Commoncrs DO Not Think $40 Is u Fair
Years Salary.

1t was rumored about city hall yes
tcrday that common council, at to-
nights meeting, will kill the amend
ment limiting the time of service of the
board of revision and appeals to seven
ty days a year. At So Il day, the re-
muneration prescribed, this provision
would permit of the members of the
board making only $40 a year. which.
in the eyes of the commoners. is n
rather slim pittance for a city official
They claim that inasmuch as the law
provides that the board shall sit from
time to time as may be found necessary
that 1t is impossible and Illegal for
council to say beforehand that the
board can do years work in any
specified time short of year.
Why Amendment Was Offered.
The obnoxious amendment was in
troduced by Mr.. Chittenden at the last
meeting of select council. He and sew
eral other progressive members Of the
upper branch have not looked with ad-
mirlng eyes upon the mad scramble of
councilmen for positions on the new
board, and no doubt with the hope of
cooling their ardor tackled on this
amendment which would take from the
Office much of that which makes 1t seek
the man.
While there is a question as to the
legality of the amendment, the COM
moners will not attack it on that
ground, but will pitch into it without
gloves and hurl its bleeding and
mangled corpse back at the selectmen
for further consideration and concur
renee.
What the Result May Be-
If the present quibbling between the
two bodies over this measure is kept
up 1t may reach such a pass that
neither side will agree to make con-
cessions, and. as a consequence, this
city will be without board assessors
for some time to come.

HOW TO FEED BHBIES.
Easy to Keep Them Well in
This Weather.
They Take 10 Lactated Food rs
to Their Mothers Milk.
Tecthing and Weaning Neither
Difficult Nor Dangerous.

A baby's appetite Is the surest indica-
tor of its health.
When a child rejects its food. is rest
less, constantly crying, and shows no
gain In weight. the food is at fault.
The little one is suffering from indiges-
ton and rapidly losing ground.
Strength must necessarily decline, and
1t is lucky II a sudden rise or fall in
temperature, such as September always
brings with IL, does not cause n fatal
atitack of diarrhoea or cholera in
fantum.
Overlooking the child's stomach with
poorly nourishing food. aggravated by
the changes in the weather, is the cause
OF nearly every case of cholera in
faEtum. Sudden changes in tempera>
ture. with impropef feeding, brings
diarrhoca ann commissions.
But with the use of proper food. and
there is nothing so absolutely good as
laCtated food. this danger may be en-
tirely avoided. Statistics show that
babies thrive best on lartated food. 1t
is worth more as preventive of chol-
era infantum than all the medicines
ever made.
The superlative Importance of pure.
nutritious infant food. and the long
study of infant disorders caused by
mistakes in diet. led TO the prepara-
ton of lactated food. Next to pure
mothers milk, it is the most nourish-
ing, strengthening, readily digested
and palatable food that can be given
baby. 1t more closely resembles
mothers milk than any other food
known. Its basis is sugar of milk.
which Is the basis of mothers milk.
With it Is combined the nutritive clc-
ments of wheat, barley and oats in such
proportion as best meets the require
mentS of the growing child.
In all cases where nursing is mad
visable or impossible, the infant s
health Is best protected by weaving
and using lactated food altogether
Thousands of babies fed from a very
early age on lactated food have never
known sick day. And as many more
little ones have been saved by this best
of infant utriments-lactated food.
