An absolutely pure and reliable in- fant food has therefore been eagerly sought for years as a substitute for pure mothers milk, and a safe and nourishing diet in hot weather. Lac tated food solved the problem com pletely. It stands to-day pre-eminent Infants fed upon it suffer less and fewer die, it is now known, than those fed upon anything else It is used in the big charitable institutions for chil- dren. It has saved the lives of thous- ands of infants during the hot, danger ous months of summer.
 No careful parent will give her child anything the composition of which she is ignorant Of Mothers who bring LID their children on lactated food do so with the full assurance that there is nothing so nourishing, and nothing so unquestionably pure. The buildings where this matchless food for infants IS prepared are enthusiastically spoken of for their absolute cleanliness by the many physicians, trained nurses and parents who have watched the produc- tion of this world famous infant food Every mother who ever visited the big
 
 the hot weather comes on and infant troubles multiply. every effort is made to supply the increased demand for lac tated foOd,-every mother has been much impressed by the scrupulous care for purity and the thorough knowI- ledge of infant requirements shown in every department of the big establish ment
 It is seen at glance that lactated food is not secret preparation. It is made in the most careful manner from the nourisning parts of wheat and bar ley properly combined with the pure sugar of milk, which is the basis of vigorous mothers milk
 Lactated food has changed hosts of pale, weak, puny babies to healthy happy hearty youngsters. The rinest experience of the diseases peculiar to childhood and an earnest desire to sava the tiny patients, has resulted in this well-nigh perfect baby diet-lactated food, which is equal to any emergency that hot weather, teething, or the crisis of weaning, can bring to young child ren.

The old miners of the party ad-
wise those who intend going in

pass, as they will save at least a
month and half, besides some
money by going that way in pre-
ference to the water route. They
all went in that way and say they

Most of the parties going in now
are heading for the Cook Inlet and

tention of prospecting through the
winter and working down to the
Klondike in May or June in case
they do not succeed in making rich
strikes during the winter. Well
seasoned Alaska miners, however,
will not go into the new diggings
earlier than February, and many
OF them will prospect for month
or two and then in case Of no rich
finds will work down toward the
Eel Dorados in the Dawson City
country, expecting to find work
there at at least $40 per day.

Found Her Hush and.

Mrs. E. NJ. Avres, of Eugene, came to
Walla Walla a few days ago to meet her
husband, who had written to her to
come here as he had secured employ
ment. Mrs. Ayres was surprized on her
arrival to find no one to welcome her,
and as the days went by and she found
no trace of her husband she became
alarmed and informed the police of her
trouble. Mrs. Ayres was almost dis
tracted until today, when the mystery
was cleared up. The woman made a
mistake about the place, and instead of
her husband writing from Walla Walla
ne wrote from Wallula, where he has
been working for Mr.. Morgan. Mrs.
Ayres left today with her little child for
Wallula, greatly relieved that her
troubles had been so quickly dispelled.
