Patton System Adopted for the Ce-
dar Falls Street Railway.

W. H. Patton, the inventor of the Patton
system of storage battery electric motors, re-
turned yesterday morning from Cedar Falls,
To-, where he made contract calling for two
new motors and several trailers. Motor No.
1, which, by the way is the finest and only
one ever built, was shipped to Chicago yes
painted. will be taken to Cedar Falls and used
until the motors can be manufactured.
The tests made here demonstrated the power
of the new invention and many leading street
railway and railroad men who have exam
ined it pronounced it a remarkable invention.
Nearly four hundred miles were covered at a
cost of less than 1 cent per mile for fuel, and
they point to this important factor in oper-
ating street railway plants The tracks at
Cedar Falls will be about four miles in
length reaching from Oak park to the normal
their completion before Oct. 1. The rails
now being laid and work will be pushed

early infant life with summer COM
plant" and are astonished and I'M
prepared for the rapidity with which
that dread disease robs the little one
of it's strength and life.
Attention to- baby's food is the most
essential precaution in hot weather If
this door is left open the most pains
taking, loving care in all other matters
cannot save the baby's life
Thousands of babies have been start
ed on their way to long life on that
best of all infant diets, lactated food;
and physicians have yet to hear of q
single instance of cholera infantum
where the child enjoyed the advantage
OF an exclusive diet of lactated food
Not only is lactated food the surest
known preventive of all bowel and
stomach disorders. but it is the one
perfect substitute for healthy, vigorous
mothers milk. It's ability to ward off
disease is due to the same nouriShing
qualities that make it so perfect a
food for frail, sickly children who are
evidently not extracting nutriment
enough from their diet
If a child is being weaned this best
of all food should certainly be used
The closest investigation has shown
that babies are stronger and grow
faster, and that fewer fall i'll during
the summer when fed upon lactated
food that upon any other diet. Fran,
sickly children get fat and sturdy.
Their steady, healthy growth is due to
the complete nouriShment of every part
of their small bodies, and the ease with
which their digestive organs convert
lactated food into solid flesh and bone,
even in the hottest days of summer.
Lactated food is, indeed, a triumph
In infant feeding.
The best physicians prescribe it; in
telligent mothers recommend it and
use it; and babies living on it prove
its worth by their healthy and happy
faces. The worry and sadness that 1t
keeps away is alone sufficient reason
for using lactated food; but it is also
very economical. Do not let the sun
go down before you have ordered some
1t may save the baby's life.
Mothers milk in summer is affected
by the heat, and is often dangerous for
the infant. 1t is much safer to wean
the child and put it upon this reliable
food that is always the same.

STREET LUNCH WAGONS.
Restaurant Keeper Takes a Shot at
Them,

To the Editor of the Globe
AS you and your paper are always with the
people and for the people, perhaps it is not
requesting too much to be allowed space in
your valuable paper to reply, as is urgently
requested by him of the long name-James
Victor Montgomery-in his very crude TRADE
of false statements in today's issue of your
paper. There has. been standing nights, on the
corner of Seventh and Cedar streets, for two
years. or more, a wagon wherein seats were
provided inside for its customers, and
where food was served inside, the same as
any ordinary lunch counter, and when he
states such a thing does, not exist, he speaks
falsely is stupid, or is grossly ignorant of
what is going on around him. Like his COM
panion, Lunch Counter Operator" who
rushed into print and stated that one lunch
wagon operator alone paid more taxes on
his outfit than one-half of the restaurants
combined, whereas the assessors books, show
that his three lunch wagons are only assessed
at $3.50. Now, there are more than twenty
five restaurants in the city, and the smallest
one pays about as much taxes. besides en-
ploying four times much help, occupying a
as well as the city to greater degree, without
blocking up the public streets, to the annoy
ance and detriment of their neighbors, nor
do they appeal to public sympathy for fear of
starving or becoming wards of public charity,
on account of the approach of the coming Win
ter. The restaurant keepers do not object to
the competition. We would rather have them
next door neighbors, if they would occupy
some of the many vacant stores, thereby i'm
proving the looks of our streets, and helping
the owners of property to pay their taxes.
We claim it is unfair to allow any one class
the use of the streets for private business
purposes from year to year Why should
one class be favored in preference to another
The shoemaker or the patent medicine ped
dler shou have the same privileges. We
do not wish to discuss this matter any fur
