FOR THE BABY.
a Valuable Hint to Every Father
and Mother.

and Mother.
There are two kinds of babies in the
world the kind who have too little nourish-
ment and the kind WHO have too much.
The first kind Of babies starve because
their stomachs are too weak to digest the
amount of food necessary for their growth
and healthful development, and the ether
KIND are overfed, with the result that the
delicate stomach and intestines are iu-
famed, and q S every mother knows, thou
sands of infants die yearly when warm
weather begins from stomach and bowel
disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and ca thartics,
however mild, q re not what is deman ded.
Go to the root of the trouble; assist the
child's digestion. give the little stomac the
aid necessary to thoroughly and promptly
digest it, food. and the little one will thrive
and grow and gladden. the mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion to the child il is
oniyneccssery to givein a plea SAINT form the
harmless digcstives contained in the
we'll kno wn tablets soldin drug stores under
the name OF Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Studrt's Tablets contain no so-called drugs,
but arc composed of pepsin, pure asepuic,
fruit acids, starch digestives, and are put

Mr. A Pos.on, a Washington tourist
agent, who is making the Alaskan business
a speciality and knows ali about rates and
fares, says that tickets may be engaged
in Washington to connect with steamers
lea wing the acific coast on the 7th, 18th
and 18th of August, and passage by any
Of these steamers booked here before de-
parture, making the quick trip TO Juneau
or Dyea certainty.
1t is thought best by all experts at this
cud Of the trip TO secure provisions for a
Seattle, and not depend on the Dawson
food supplies. II IL said that in the rush
of prospectors this fall and winter proyis-
ions NAV entirely give out at Dawson and
that at any rate they will be exorbitantly
high in price.
Mr.. Pos.on is also authority for the IN
formation that a company has been formed
in Seattle which is now ready to furnish
tile prospective miner an eighteen mSnths
food supply the most compact and easily
portable shape, for $3.50. This consists
of bacon, -four aud other necessary food
adapted TO the rigorous climate, which
is the fashion at Klondike, and guaranteed
TO keep and to be sufficient.
This is a wholesale price almost, and is
certainly much less than the grub stake"
could be procured for by the individual
miner
TRANSFORMATION on this "grub stake"
from Seattle to Juneau Is estimated at
$50, though rates are fluctuating.
The trip from Juneau to Dswso City
and Its cost are the only important uncer-
tain parts OF the problem of the whole
trip. The route in favor at the present
time is by the way Of Chilkoot Pass TO the
