JOHN P. SQUIRE & co.

We are indebted to the courtesy of the
Cereal Machine company Cor a number
CT testimonials regarding the food we
advocate, which are OF such interest to
mothers that We take the liberty of pub
fishing a few in our department.
My baby has been fed on nothing but
shredded wheat biscuit since he Was
eight months old. and he has perfect
digestion aud most beautiful teeth,
seventeen Of them, ana he is only twenty
months Old. They came through with
10 disturbance of any kind" Mrs. L. ].
Hersey, Providence, r. l.
All children would cut their teeth lust
rs easily and with no more pain or trou-
bic If they are fed on natural food. The
suffering and nervousness commonly IN
cident to the tcething period are mainly
caused by Indigestion, and many chill
dren die from no other cause.
Supporting our teaching that no man
or woman can have better teeth than
the mother furnished them Cwhen chill
dren) the material to build, We print the
following:
II wish to say that I am interested in
inducing people to get more of the phos-
pilates into their bones l am a dentist,
20 years old. and l have seen so many
young people with teeth almost as soft
rs chalk. simply structures of nothing,
comparatively speaking. wish that
people could be educated--could learn
what to eat. l think shredded wheat
comes the nearest of anything to a per-
feet food" DR.. c. F. E. Blood, New Lon
don, Conn.
That even a baby's weakened stomach
can assimlate the food is proven ty the
| following:
when my baby. twenty-one months
old, was Ill with gastric fever this sum-
| mer, DR.. Eleanor Lownay prescribed your
bread Shredded wheat biscuit as food,
and she was able to digest 1t, and it
agreed with her perfectly. SO that, If a
baby's stomach, weakened by such a dis
case as the above, was able to retain I'd
assimilate it, it speaks volumes in ur
favor"

Three of the Thompson line steamers
which ran to Portland last winter have
been chartered by the English govern
ment to transport troops and supplies
to South Africa The Hurona will
take mules from New Orleans, the Iona
will load mules at Naples. Italy. and
the Devona is probably on the way to
South Africa with troops. The num-
Der OF vessels which has been taken
from the Montreal and Boston routes
has tended to increase the freight
rates from % to SO per cent. This will
mean less sailing from Montreal and
the chances are that Portland will re
ceive a large portion of the freight
which would have been shipped from
that port. The Grand Trunk has signed
contracts with the different steamship
companies for the coming winter and
all the sailings will be supplied.

Scarboro people are now vastly in
terested in a local domestic difficulty
which bids fair to creep into the courts
1t seems that two families of which
the father-in-law and son-in-law are
the respective heads, dwell together.
IN the rear of their home is a field
which has been divided in halves by a
fence. The son-in-law has several fine
cows which are accustomed to Craze in
his undivided half part" And here
the difficulty arose. The cows broke
their enclosure and browsed in the
fatherin-law's meadows. The ag-
Srieved landlord invoked the aid of the
town poundkeeper. The cows We're
taken to the pound where they have
since furnished luxurious subsistence
for the inmates of the almshouse. The
owner of the animals has come to
Portland to invoke legal aid to re-
cover his property.
