An absolutely pure and reliable in
FAINT food has therefore been eagerly
sought for years as substitute for
pure mothers milk. and safe and
nourishing diet in hot weather Lac
uated food solved the problem COM
pletely. 1t stands today pre-eminent.
Infants fed upon it suffer less and few
er die, it is now known. than those fed
upon anything else. 1t is used in the
big charitable institutions for children
1t has saved the lives of thousands of
infants during the hot, dangerous
months of summer.
No careful parent viii give her child
anything the composition of which she
is ignorant Of. Mothers who bring up
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
Tor their absolute cleanliness by the
many physicians, trained nurses and
parents who have watched the produc-
ton of This world famous infant food.
Every mother who ever visited the big
establishment in Burlington where. as
the hot weather comes on and infant
troubles multiply, every effort is made
ID supply the increased demand for lac
tated food--every mother has been
much impressed by the scrupllous carr.

OF infant requirements shown i'm every

experience of the diseases peculiar to

the tiny patients, has resulted in this

GOLD CRAZY AT FRISCO.
Arrivals from Alaska Repeat the Stories Of
Fabulous Wealth at Kiondyke.

San Francisco. July 23.-Among
the arrivals from Alaska on the
steamer Bertha was DR.. &. f. Dicker-
son of Kodiak Island. which lies
just at the head of Cooks inlet. He
says the gold excitement all over the
territory of Alaska is something unpre
cedented. and that people are focking
to the klondyke in a way that threat
ems to depopulate many of the trading
posts and coast towns
when l left Kodiak two weeks ago"
said DR.. Diekerson, THE people were
leaving all that section of the country
and Hooking in the direction of the
klondyke. In way the situation is
appalling, for many of the industries
are lett practically without means of
operation. Mines that are paying
handsomely at Cooks Inlet have been
deserted. In my opinion there are just
as good placer diggings to be found at
Cooks Inlet as in the Klondyke region
There is not a foot of ground in all that
country that does not contain gold in
more or less appreciable quantities.
The klondyke craze has struck the
speculative element hard. Companies
of all kinds are being organized while
the signs and windows letterings are
appearing with marvellous rapidity in
the principal business streets Such
titles as Yukon Trading and Develop
ing Company, The Yukon Gold and
Supply Company" and the "Klondyke
Improvement Syndicate" are to be
seen on every hand.
Six French Canadians, who Were
successful on the Klondyke and now
bound for Montreal. are at the Com
mercial Club in this city. They came
from Seattle, having reached that city
by the steamer Portland. They could
not get the prices for their nuggets
that they wanted there and they will
not accept the bid made by the s. Selby
Smelling Works in this city As the
San Francisco mint is closed pending
the change of administration. these
miners will carry their bullion to Phil
adelphia and exchange it there for coin
Of the United States.
The men of the party are ~ r.
Piccot, T. Morrin. who have been in
Yukon country for four years. n. Mer-
Ger. OF five years experience. Joseph
Caselais. who for seven years has
mined in Alaska; T.. Aaneher, who has
been there nine years. and Joseph Des
Roehes. who has just completed his
second year on the Yukon.
A rumor has been circulated that the
klondyke gold is poorer in quality than
from other mining regions und in con
sequence is not worth so much for
coming purposes.
