are astonished and unprepared for the
rapidity with which that dread disease
robs the little one of it's strength and
life.
Thousands IF babies have been start
ed On their way TO long life on that
best of all infant diets, lactated food;
and physicians have yet tc hear of a
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 hut 1t Is the one
perfect substitute for healthy, vigorous
mothers milk. Its ability to ward off
disease is due to the same nourishing
qualities that make 1t so perfect a food
for frail, sickly children who are evil
IDENTIFY not extracting nutriment enough
from their diet
If 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 sum-
mer when fed upon lactated food than
upon any other diet. Frail, sickly chill
dren 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, triumph
in infant feeding.
The best physicians prescribe it; in
telligent mothers recommend 1t and use
it, and babies living on 1t prove it's
worth by their healthy and happy
faces, The worry and sadness that it
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 babys 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.

The inspiriting flag raising and dedi-
cation of Camp II. N. Dunnell was OBJ
served at o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the encampment was formally
placed in the hands of General STAR
bird by Colonel Martin Joyce, in behalf
of the local Pythians. The ceremony
was identical with that by which the
encampment of the National Guard are
opened, all that was missing being the
salute of guns. Major General Carna-
han was present and made the princi-
pal address. 1t was the intention of
opening the camp at 9 o'clock a. M.
but for various reasons the hour was
changed.
The first order issued in camp by
General Starbird through Assistant Ad-
jutant General Gripp was in announce
ment of the camp opening. This with
ether orders were tackled upon the
trees about the camp. A half hour be-
fore o'clock the camp showed signs of
preparation for the ceremony. Fatigue
caps were band-boxed and in their
place came out the gay white helmets
with the other dressy accoutrement Of
a Sir Knight at his best. Regiments
were formed in the several streets Of
the tented city awaiting the signal to
assemble en- masse.

OFFICERS ARRIVE.

General Carnahan in the gorgeous
uniform of his rank, with Colonel Mar
tin Joyce and General Charles f. Linde,
of the commander-in-chi staff, and
Colonel Gripp, arrived at the camp in
a carriage a few minutes before 8
o'clock. Gugler Gensimore performed
his first duties in sounding the call.
The regiments comprising about 200
men in all formed in a hollow square
about the flag pole which had been
erected on the southwest corner of the
grand stand. General Carnahan, Gen.
eral Starbird and the members of their
staffs, stood in the centre. At a word
from General Carna.han the combined
Germania of this city and Knights of
Pythias, of Pittsburg, bands played
America and "Old Glory" slowly
crept up the pole, the soldiers
presenting their swords at q salute to
the colors. The scene was witnessed
by several hundred people who stood
about the square with heads uncovered.
When the flag was fair and free in the
breeze, General Starbird introduced Col
onel Joyce, who in a few words, trans
ferred the camp to the Pennsylvania
brigade. General Carnahan afterward
accepted the trust in a speech calculat-
ed to remind the Knights Of the worth
of their order. He said:

"You live at a time many years after

In the patriotic way General Carn-
ahan spoke for some time, his dis
course referring to the character of
the order, and finally thanking Colonel
Joyce, as the representative of the
city of Scranton for the reception that
has been given. General Carnahan
then gave a hearty welcome to the
Knights to attend the international
convention to be held next year at
Indianapolis. His final words won the
good opinion of the knights. He in
vited not only the officers but also the
men to visit him at his tent.
General Starbird briefly thanked
General Carnahan for his presence
at the camp. 1T encourages us, and
makes us feel that you take an interest
in the Pennsylvania brigade" said
General Starbird. He ended in giving
the command for the dismissal of the
brigade.
