DANCING ON TIE PORTSMOUTH
First Division Naval Reserve HeIds
a Successful Reception.

The bic United States sloop of war
Portsmouth which is moored at foot of
Fifteenth street, Hoboken, presented a
brilliant scene last evening. 1t was aglow
with electric lights and Japanese lanterns
and the spar deck was crowded with
dancers.
The occasion was the farewell reception
given by the members of the First
Division Battalion of the East New Jersey
Naval Reserves preceding their annual
cruise which will commence on July "a.
On that day the Portsmouth will proceed
to Fishers Island with all her officers and
crew on board and the reserves will spend
two weeks of real sea life. The first week
they will be drilled on the Portsmouth
together with the reserves from Massa-
chusetts. Connecticut, New Hamphire and
Rhode Island. Then they will board the
battle ship Texas and the torpedo boat
Porter and will practice firing at sea
targets. During the second week
they will sail on their own ship
to Montauk Point and thence to Cape
May. They will cruise up the New Jersey
coast to Sandy Hook.
The reception last night was a success
in every particular. The committee in
charge included Lieutenant Irving Blount,
Chairman; p. M. Brett. Jr., Treasurer; J.
Lenander, Secretary, and J.. L. Geayer
and R. Petit. An awning of sail cloth
had been stretched above the spar deck
and the sides being open it afforded a
most delightful place for dancing. All the
reserves were in uniform. The guests
were allowed the freedom of the entire
ship. Refreshments were served on the
gun and berth decks. Among those who
attended were:-
Captain Washington Irving, P. e. Bel
ton, Miss J.. Regain. ). Lenander, Miss

deavor delegates haye not yet reached
home and the Baptist Young Peoples
Union and Epworth League delegates are
at this moment In Chattanooga and To-
ronto respectively. The cost Of these
great gatherings is For exam
pie, there were 1900 people at San Fran
cisco who spent on an average not less
han $125 each. That is 81, SOC. 900. There
were $4,000 more who spent not less than
$50 each. That Is $500, 900. There are at
Chattanooga 5000 who win spend, at a
low estimate SIS each, and $1,000 more
whose expenses will reach $40 each. The
local cost is easily $25, oO0. Here is a total
of $500, 000. There are 5000 now at Toronto
whose expenses will reach SIS each, 5000
$40 each and 5000 $40 each. The local cost
is easily SIS. 900. Here is 100000. All
these are very modest estimates. They
foot up 49, SOC, 900. 1t is safe to say that all
three gatherings cost SO, 000,0 900, and yet, by
reason of smaller ~attendances than were
expected. this sum is three-ffths to one
half what those who planned these gath
eringS count them to cost.

Babies who nave the advantage of their
mothers milk stand the hot weather bet
ter thar others, provided the mothers
milk agrees with them and is plentiful
and rich in the elements that make flesh
and bone. But u perfect breast milk
is rarely maintained during the entire
nursing period by even the most robust
mothers. Where a falling off in the
nourishing qualities of baby's earliest
food is suspected, lactated food is the
most perfect substitute for the pure
mothers milk. Physicians, when called
in cases of severe bowel affections, which
come on so suddenly, and so commonly
prove fatal. put the baby without delay
on a diet of his splendid nutriment, lac
tated food. 1t fully nourishes the child,
yet does not irritate the intestinal tract
that has been disturbed by hot weather,
nor overturn the sick stomach. Weak,
pining and fretful babies are quieted by
lactated food. They take it eagerly and
gain steadily in weight and size, without
Interruption because of hot weather.
Parents are apt to wait from day to day
hoping for improvement in the condition
of their child. 1t is this unwise de-
lay that so often costs he hild's life.
AT the first indication that baby is not
taking sufficient food for rapid growth,
or when the hild shows signs of weak
ness, it's skin continually wet with per-
SEPARATION, its lips and cheeks pale, and
its eyes heavy, it is imperative that the
little one should be better nourished.
Lactated food at once improves the appe-
tite and makes sure that the child's di-
gestion is supplying strength n the
means for steady growth. Babies grow
big and strong on lactated food. Close
observation of countless babies and of
others not thriving because they cannot
be induced to eat, or because their 0
does not nourish them, led to the
preparation of lactated food. With all
these hindrances to perfect infant health
in mind, lactated food is prepared under
the advice of professors in the medical
department of the Vermont University.
The remarkable infant food Is usually
agreeable to an infants stomach Palata-
bleness was one of the advantages earn
estly sought in its preparation. 1t was
seen that with every advantage OF
nurtty. richness and nourishing power
lactated food must be made p~alatable to
effect any good. Children take lactated
food even in the hottest weather, be-
cause it agrees with them. And they take
it in sufficient quantities and with relish,
SO that they Increase rapidly in weight
ana size. and begin very soon to hold
no their heads, play and become noisy
and happy.
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 physi-
a,,,s ,,ce IN their own families.

FREE BATHS REPORT.

To the Editor of THE Jersey City News,:-
Those who can summer by the sea
know the pleasure and blessing of bath
ing in old ocean, or those who go even
for one day allow nothing to prevent a
plunge in the foaming surf, SO great is
the attraction, and SO beneficial are the
results.
While we ave not the ocean in the
Peoples Palace swimming tank, yet we
have pure water and as near like the
ocean as we can make 1t, so that the
of boys who come for their ablu-
tons have a real benefit.
The hot weather has been very trying
to the poor and the swimming bath has
been a boob to them. Since the last re-
port 1928 baths have been given, making
a total of 1888 since the opening.
We trust the friends of this summer
charity viii not forget to send a dona-
ton. This benevolent work should appeal
to all philanthropic people. III Treasur-
er of the Peoples Palace, Mr.. William
