COST OF BABY.
In the Item of Food.

Why such extravagant prices
as obtain, should be placed on food
for infants, is question that has fire.
quently been asked. Some of these
foods are known to contain certain ex-
pensive drugs.
There seems no good reason why
the food of the infant should not be
proportionately economical to the
food of the adult, provided, of course,
proper and nourishing food can be
prepared for the infant at a moderate
cost of manufacture.
This subject has received the atten-
ton of the Postum Cereal company,
limited, at Battle Greek, Mich, who
are known to be among the most are
full and expert makers of health foods
in the world, and as a result of their
work the market is now supplied with
Mar Baby Food, a predigested,
natural food for infants that expert
ence and use has shown to be perfectly
digestib'e and in the highest degree
nutritious, so that infants quickly
build flesh when put upon it.
1t has peculiar effect upon cows
milk, rendering the cows milk that
heretofore turned into heavy curds in
the stomach of the child, easy to di-
gest, for the reason that mixture of
Marjorie's Baby Food prevents the
formation of the large and heavy
curds, while at the same time the
food is absolutely pure and free from
any sort of outside ingredients, con-
tanning no drugs of any character
" hatever. 1t is notable fact that
the weakest sort of a stomach can take
Marjorie's Baby Food and digest it,
and the body will show the value of
the nourishment in truly remark
able manner.

MARCHING ALONG.

Not unlike John Browns soul bimet-
alism is marching along. 1t is neither
dead nor sleeping, nor is it even taking
a nap. It is thoroughly alive and actively
and vigorously kicking all along the line.
The not distant future will witness a con-
vention of the friends of the white metal
at Louisville, Ky, at which Bryan,
Williams, of Massachusetts,, Towne, Of
Minnesota, and probably A1tgeld, of Hi
nois, and Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, will
take part. The convention will be COM
posed of representatives of bimetallism
from Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, and will probably number some
thing like 500 ardent advocates of the
cause Of silver.
This is about the first active work OF
preparation. made for some time, tC
gather a few of the champions of the
white metal. The work will now march
right along. The friends of silver will SET
to it that conventions will be held il
groups OF states from now to the opening
of the next presidential campaign, ant
that the white metal will Ave on a full
head of steam in 1900. And il will be hi

A WANING EXCITEMENT.

The pathway to Klondike was never
lined With primroses, nor carpeted with
flowers, but the adventurer, the specu-
lator. the avaricions clothed it in RAIN
ents of gold, and then "whooped her up"
for al it was worth. Thousands yielded
to the cry and invested their gold, and
history is repeating itself. The Klondilze
is a waning excitement.
There is gold in the klondike country;
so there was at Gold Lake, at Kern river,
at Gold Bluffs, at Frazier river and the
stampedes and wrecked the hopes of
thousands. But few, if any, excepting the
prime movers of the excitements, made
money. They left their all, many their
bodies, as monuments to their folly, and
all the survivors gained an experience,
their memories.
We say history is repeating itself in the
Klondike gold fields. The few gather the
sheckels, the many gather the disap-
pointments and the sorrow. Even those
who return with the yellow metal, in any
considerable quantity, unite in saying
that the Klondiker, like poor Richard
paid too dear for his whistle" Still the
glamour and attractions of Klondike may
fade or disappear, a new crop of adven'
turers is growing that will join in {
future rush to the north or south pole il
