The above is a good likeness of the
smiling. bright-eyed child of Mrs. Ad-
die Lancore. who has fed her baby on
lactated food since ii was four weeks
Old. with the following happy results:
Northampton, Mass. Nov. IA, 1895
Wells, Richardson & Co.:
My baby. Mabel. has been fed on lac
tated food ever since she was four
weeks old. We tried other infant
foods for two weeks, but none of them
agreed with her. so Mr.. Coburn of the
firm of Coburn & Graves told me to
try lactated food. as they used it for
their young child and liked it very
much. My baby has not been sick
since we put her on a diet of lactated
food. and to judge from the greedy ap-
petite she always has for every meal,
no one could be long in doubt as to it's
agreeing with her and making her
grow. and at the same time keeping
her free from the bowel troubles that
50 commonly attack young children in
hot weather. Yours very gratefully.
MRS. ADDIE LANCORE.
Lactated food more closely resembles
mothers milk than any other food
known. Its basis is sugar of milk,
which is the basis Of mothers milk.
With this is combined the nutritive
elements of wheat, barley and oats in
such proportion as best meets the re
quirements of the rapidly growing
child
Baby must eat well to keep up
strength and resist disease.
When teething is added to the fret
fulness due to hot weather many bah
les refuse all other nourishment except
lactated food. which they take with
decided relish
In the preparation of lactated food
not only has absolute purity and free
dom from possibility of contagion, as
we'll as remarkable nourishing power
been secured, but also a pleasant taste
that induces babies, especially when
being weaned, to take food when MOTH
ing else will tempt them.
1t is when the strength is not kept up
and the child is allowed to grow nerv-
Gus, thin and fretful that slight in
crease in heat brings on the exhaust
ing diarrhoea or fatal cholera infan-
tum. No household where there are
children should be a day without lac
tated food, especially in June and
July.
With lactated food and reasonable
care in keeping the baby's dishes care
fully scalded. parents may watch baby
with delight as it grows every day
stronger and healthier.
Summer after summer testifies to the
power of lactated food to make plump.
rosy cheeks and sturdy little legs and
arms and bodies. and days full of noise
and glee and nights of sound, refresh
ing sleep.
The prettiest babies are the healthy.
chubby. rosy ones. Lactated food gives
babies solid flesh and bones and saves
their lives when threatened with vast
ing diseases. 1t is to be had at any
drug store. and is so inexpensive that
no mother need be without it.

Cholera infantum Is Most to Be

Lactated Food the Best Preventive

Summer casts its shadow on many

would like to hide her precious baby in
her bosom till the danger is passed
But she must know that not love
alone, but only intelligent, thoughtful
care can keep the baby safe.
High temperature with improper
feeding at this particular season brings
dread cholera infantum, diarrhoea and

With the use Of proper food-and
there is nothing so absolutely good as
lactated food-these dangers may be
avoided.
Reports from homes all over the
country, and especially from the large

of infants gives ample data for accu-

best upon lactated food.

A DANGEROUS BILL.

Some people are prone to favor the
new municipal code that is about to be
offered to the Legislature, simply be-
cause it is a change. They do not like
the old system and for that reason
think anything that will change it is
a good thing. But while changing it,
would it not be good thing to change
it right? Would it not be good thing
for the people of the state to look into
matters very carefully before adopting
the one-man feature Of the bill? There
is no doubt but that the bill has many
wise provisions, but 1t has many that
are unwise. Take, for instance, that
feature Of the bill that gives the mayor
absolute control of all city boards and
gives the governor of the state the pow
er to remove the mayor at any time for
cause. Suppose, for instance, there
should be Democratic mayor who did
not suit the local Republican bosses.
A Republican governor Of Ohio would
listen to some trumped-up charges
against him and that would end him.
1t could be done as many times a year
as would be deemed necessary, or until
the politicians got a mayor that suited
them. The proposed act, as pointed out
some time since in these columns,
tends to take the power out of the
hands of the people and place it in the
hands of few Of the people. That is
the tendency Of the times, as given i'm
petus at Washington during the pres
ent administration. 1t is imperialistic
in tendency and is dangerous.

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

If it We're proposed by congress to
so amend the immigration and election
laws Of the country that any foreigner
could come in and vote on the same day
of his arrival, would objection be rails
ed? Would the result Of an election not
then depend on which side had the most
foreigners ready to dump in on election
day? Wouldn't that be dangerous?
Suppose Great Britain or any other
country should say to this republic that
it demanded that its subjects be allowed
to vote in this country without re-
nouncing allegiance to the country from
which they came? Don't you suppose
that the American people Would resent
such a demand, even at the point Of the
bayonet? Yet that is what England
wanted to do to the South African re-
public whose destinies are presided
over by Dom Paul Kruger. Isn't q
president who encourages that sort oi
thing and sends American war vessels
to assist a monarchy engaged in thai
kind of business departing somewhat
from American notions? And ought
not an administration. that will not ever
permit word Of official sympathy q
reach the intended Victims OF this in
justice, to be denounced? Is It an!
wonder that the people believe tina
there is In fact an alliance with Grea
Britain when sympathy is withheld
from the Beers? There ought to be N
party questions arise in this connection
The American people ought to be Q
one mind on the proposition and no
only sympathy but aid should be ex

HIS FIRST EFFORT TO DO GOOD.

If everybody could give Christmas
it would be pleasant indeed. Much has
been said about the order of Mark that
the Little Consolidated employees in
Cleveland be given $4,000. Now, Mark
isn't giving this money himself. He
does not open his purse-strings and tell
his employees to help themselves to his
own money, but sends word to the Sec
retary of the company to call a meeting
of the directors and have the thing
done. Thus Mark gets all the credit
and the stockholders pay the bill. Han
ma must pay only his proportion, con-
sidering the amount Of stock he holds.
So he has only part of the Sc, 900 to pay
but is lauded as the munifcent giver of
great gifts. This is cheap notoriety.
though pleasant political dodge. Mark
Hanna has not heretofore given evil
dence of desire to weigh down his en-
ployes with gifts.
But the amusing feature is the al
legged desire that no one know anything
about it--that is, no one but the news
papers. why, how did you learn about
it?" said the secretary of the company,
to a representative of Hanna's personal
organ. The representative did not say
that Mark had called up the Leader
office by long distance phone and told
the man in charge to see the secretary
of the Little Consolidated for story.
Heretofore Marcus has insisted that
his right hand know not what his left
hand doth. and so clever has he been
that this is the first good act that has
ever been chronicled in his behalf. Sc
some credit must attach to his personal
organ in finding the sly old philanthro.
pist out.
1t is easy to be good fellow with
other peoples money.
