It fully nourishes the child, yet does not

disturbed by hot weather, nor overturn

Parents are apt 10 wait from day to

AT the first indication that baby is not
taking sufficient food for rapid growth,
or when the child shows signs of weak
ness. its skin continually wet with per-
~spiration, its lips and cheeks pale and
lis eyes heavy. it Is imperative that the
little one should be better nourished.
Lactated food al once improves the APP

digestion is supplying strength and the
means for steady growth. Babies grow

cannot be induced to eat, or because
their food does not nourish them, led
to the preparation Of lactated food.

but a small number compared with the
many who recommend it personally to
their friends and neighbors. Mr.. Waiter

laetated food, and it has always agreed

Practiced physicians prescribe lactated
food TO be kept always on hand and used
at once on the first indication of loose
ness or loss of strength, or If baby is
evidently not thriving ON its present diet.
Lactated food is the infant food physicians
use in their own families.

not be the first time that Hill has betray-
ed those who put confidence in him. He
has the views of a statesman n the

The results of his action are always

About the only thing left for Hill to

has missed the opportunity of making
his adhesion useful to the cause of sound

son Square Garden made a back number

While the silver conspirators and their
dunes keen on bowling for silver. the
evil work of silver is going on light be-
fore their eyes. Every day brings a new
shutdown in some great industry. and
the explanation is invariably the same.
The dangers of the financial situation
are too sreat for anyone to risk capital
in production.
Among the concerns which have sus-
pended operations is the American watch
Company. at waltham. Mass. It closed
on Thursday night with indefinite pros
poets Of reopening. It employs about a
thousand hands, n is the mainstay Of
the town in which it is situated. Presi-
dent Fitch says there is only reason
for the stoppage-the danger of currency
depreciation
The Boston Manufacturing Company,
which has its factory at walfham. also,
was already closed, ii was expected
that it would soon reopen. Now it is an
nounced that it will not do so until Sep
TENDER Is at the earliest
IN this State the conditions of the times
are brought right home to US. The Essex
Felting Mills and the Elizabeth knitting
Mills nave both shut down. They are
overstocked Nobody, they say. will buy
goods now on a gold basis. which may
have to be sold for 5s-cent silver dollars
after November 8.
Another interesting result of the craze
is the action of the Baptist Home Mis-
sionary Society, which has nearly all its
endowment invested in mortgages upon
church property all over the country. All
these mortgages it has now called in, that
is to say. we presume, all which are mar
ture. because it will not take the risk Of
having them paid in 5s-cent silver dollars
after November 8. This movement, it is
said. threatens a large number of
churches with bankruptcy, especially in
the West.
