SAVE The BABYS LIFE.
Babies Take Lactated Food
with Evident Relish.
Safety for Pale, Weak, Siekly Ba'
bieS In Hot Weather.
A Perfect Substitute for Healthy Vigor'
Gus Mothers Milk.

To the thoughtful parent hot weather
brings the consciousness of increased
care and forethought regarding the diet
Of the little ones. 1t Is appalling TO
anyone understanding the subject to
see the carelessness of parents and
nurses IN the matter of infant feeding.
With cholera infantnm raging as 1t Is
east and west this summer, these facts
cannot be put to parents too plainly.
This mortality is not necessary evil,
for, as every single writer on the sub
ject (from the eminent DIR. Routh, to
whom every physician turns for advice,
down TO the honest medical student
whose opinions see light in the popular
medical journals) agrees, 1T arises prin-
cipally from the improper feeding of
children.
Watch your baby's actions carefully.
especially at this season OF the year SO
trying TO little children. Is he cross,
fretful or peevish? Is he troubled with
constipation, collie, or diarrhoea? Is
his sleep short or easily broken? Then
his food d!Sagrees, and he is in serious
danger Of fatal disease.
'What can / do?" we hear you ask.
Change at once to lactated food. pure
and scientific food that makes the sick
baby well and keeps the healthy child
hearty and strong, even in summer $
dangerous weather.
The best physicians prescribe it, in.
telligent mothers recommend it and use
1t, and babies living on it prove itf
worth by their healthy and happy faces
The worry and sadness that 1t keeps
away is alone sufficient reason for using
lactated fodd, but 1t IS also very econom'
ical, costing less than five cents a quart
when prepared from the larger sizes
The small size costs only 25 cents and

affected by the heat, and is often dan
| gerous for the infant 1t is much safe
to wean the child and put it upon tht
reliable food that is always the same.

Row. George Reed. ID. d.. IL. ID. and Dean
william Frickett, IL. D., of Dickinson
Law School. Visit the City.
Rev. George Edward Reed, d. d.,
LII. D., president OF Dickinson college,
and Dean William Trickett, LII. D., Of
the Dickinson Law school, arrived here
yesterday afternoon on visit of inves-
tigation tending toward the locating in
Scranton of the law department of the
Dickinson college. They remained over
night at the Wyoming, and will leave
this morning for Carlisle.
The two gentlemen were met at the
Delaware and Hudson station by ex-
Judge Alfred Hand, William Connell,
Captain w. A. May an Secretary d. B..
Atherton, of the board Of trade. Dur
ing the early afternoon the visitors
were driven to many Of the various
points Of interest about the city, and
were shown several proposed locations
for the school. which, In case the trans
fer is made to Scranton, will only be
used temporarily, until final location
Is made In the Mears or Board Of Trade
buildings.
rendered an Informal Reception.
Later In the day, at an informal re-
ception in the hotel parlors. Drs. Reed
and Trickett met a large number of
prominent business men and lawyers
and other professional men.
No statement was made by either
President Reed or DR.. Trickett to the
gentlemen who entertained them which
warrants the positive assertion that
the school will come to Scranton. While
DR.. Trickett gave the impression that
he was personally favorble to such q
conclusion, President Reed, upon whose
decision the matter will rest, stated
only that he would formally report his
visit to the trustees of the college, who
would make their decision before Oct
l. His only remark which could be
| construed pro or con was that the sep
aration Of the law department from the
main college would either be a very
great advantage or a pronounced detri-
ment, and 1t was a matter which would
have to be carefully weighed.
Pleased with the City.
Neither President Reed nor Dean
Trickett had visited the city before.
They expressed themselves as charmed
with Its many advantages, its beauty
and it's great thrift.
Should the school be moved to Scran-
ton 1t will identify with the city several
learned men, notably Professor Guy
Carleton Lee and the two Of the fac
ulty now here.

Up to ESQ this morning a reply to Il
telegram had not been received.
The morning times., 1895-12-22

Secretary Herbert receiveds a report yes
terday from the board Of naval bureau
chiefs. presenting consistent plan for
increasing thaJnaval establishment by four
big battleshiB, sin addition to the two
already Provided for.
It is said, I'M behalf OF the idea sub
mitted, that 10 Is not based on the ueces-
sity for increasing the Navy by reason
OF any critical Haspect of the relations
between Great Britain and the United
States. but cp the ground OF economy in
both time and money.
The action OF this board, officially known
as the 81 board of construction came about
through its cons Iteration OF the bids sub
mitted by three great shipbuilding firms
for constructing the two battleships. No.
and No. 6, one of which is TO be called
the Kearsearge.
MAY CUT THE BIDS.
These bids were opened on November 80,
and the bidders were the William Cr1mp &
Sons Shpbuilding Company OF Philadel-
phia, the Newport News Shipbuiding and
Dry Dock Company OF Newport News, Va,
and the Union Iron Works OF San Francisco.
After careful. consideration the boa rd
decided. at a meeting yesterday. to recon-
mend to Secretary Herbert that the bid OF
the Virginia Company for constructing
two vessels at S2.250. 600 each "a de-
duct1on Of 500 600 from its proposal for
building one ship should he accepted. that
the Cramps and the Union Iron Works
should also be given the contra ct for build
ing Two battleshiDs each OF the sanle class.
provided they scaled their bids 10 figures
satisfactory TO the Secretary OF the Navy.
MAKING UP THE AMOUNT.
As SS.OOO,000 was estimate ted and ap-
propriated as the cost OF the Kearsa rye and
her unnamed sister ship. twice that amount
in addition would be seemed 10 be needed for
the four now proposed. but II is likely that
this sum will not be necessary in view OF
the economy OF constructing so many
vessels at once.
Whether Congress shall be asked to pro-
vide the increase remains with Secretary
Herbert to settle. In his last annual re-
port Mr.. Herbert recommended Congress
sional provision for the construction OF two
battleships and at least twelve torpedo
boats and ms estimates for these amounted
TO SO .63S.3s3.

not Disguise their dissatisfa ction with the
Presidents last message. One of them
said last night that now IL was Congress

would do it.

Silver men, also, do not hesitate to say
that the President can not get through
