press intention of forming reliable
infant food and a perfect substitute for
healthy mothers milk. An infant likes
it. Fretful, peevish babies grow
strong, ruddy and healthy on it. 1t has
the unusual virtue of inducing delicate
babies to take an abundance OF nour-
ishment when other foods disagree
with them. and when retarded growth,
feebleness and intestinal irritation
threaten the poorly-fed child. ~.
Mothers and nurses who have used
lactated food all agree that 1t best sup
plies the materials for baby's rapid
growth and development. 1t is pre-
pared with regard to purity, cleanli-
ness and freedom from any possible
source of contagion that merits all the
praise that has been so lavishly, be-
slowed upon It by parents and physi-
clans. --. -.

mistake of overfeeding, that anxious
parents too often fall into, instead of
nourishing the little ones, only brings
ON diarrhoea.
And diarrhoea, with the temperature
high up, results in cholera infantum.
The most carefully, intelligently
guarded children are those fed on lac
tated food. Babies, when weaving, do
not throw it up. Puny ones show de-
cided and immediate gain. Their
steady healthy growth is due to this
rich nutritive that is relished even in
the hottest weather. ...- ..
Lactated food brings sound sleep. It
checks all wasting disorders during hot
weather. Every year lactated food
saves thousands of lives.
A baby's duty is to keep strong and
we'll. The parents duty is to give the
infant the best food in the world-that
is lactated food. ...-- -a.

SAUCY BESS' COMMENT.

Did you ever try to write poetry"
about base ball when you wanted to
say something soulful concerning birds
and flowers and trees-about the blue
skies of summer and the sunshine of
youth? Probably not. Maybe the city
editor never looked at you with a
thundrous glance and said: I'VE must
have verse or two for the top of this
column. Write something about base
ball. You're the only one around here
who can take time to do it just now"
Possibly, If such an incident occurred,
you timldly suggested that you had
something in your mind regarding the
beauties OF nature and the delight of
a day in the forest far from the mad
ding crowd, but the city editor treated
this implied intention with fine scorn,
declaring that there were silly young
girls, not to speak of a sufficient num-
ber of lawyers in Scranton who could
write stuff about babbling brooks,
whispering trees, love and such nom
sense, but that which was now needed
was a base ball poem and the print
ers were waiting for copy. So you
start in
Oh dull and deep as distant thunder swell
The cries of multitudes afar.
(You rather approve of this begin
ning)
They sound like doleful groans from

of word that rhymes with "swell'
and goes with 'groans," without maxi
ing a profane effect. That line will
have to be changed.)
oh dull and deep as distant thunder rise
The cries of multitudes afar-
They sound like notes of Paradise
TO some who hear them as they are.
The Summer breeze plays softly DER
There you go again. Didn't the city
editor declare that this wasn't an oc-
casion for breezes and sunshine and
such nonsense? Let's see

With cholera infantum raging as 1t is

1t is not enough to merely select q

"It isn't always so much fun to run
a photograph gallery as you might i'm
agine," remarked the photograph man
in the street car the other afternoon.
1T isn't all sweet little babies and
beautiful women with madonna faces
and men with fine noble countenances
and tempers to match. You have to
pet and make love to children some
times when you don't feel a bit like it.
You have to smile apologetically when
people come for their proofs and vocif-
erously abuse you and your methods
because their offsprings do not look like
the cherubs of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
You Rave to look pleasant when cross
eyed persons blame you for not per-
forming a miracle in the matter of
vision in their portraits and you have
to keep still and do heap of thinking
when they audibly remark that they
never had such a looking picture in
their lives; that Mr.. So and So always

so cross as that in all his sweet little
days. One of the latest tributations of
a photographer is that some of his pat
rons come attired like Solomon and
demand that he shall take them in
colors according to the latest thing in
the papers when the fact is that color
in photographs has not as yet been
demonstrated q success. Then they
go away and say you're not up to date"

The clergy of Russia are divided into
two classes, the white or village clergy,
who must all be married, and the black
clergy, or monks. who are vowed TO cell
bacy. The higher dignitaries of the church
are invariably chosen from the last class.
The great majority of them have no par

IS on foot for utilizing them as assistants
to parish priests in villages.
