North Conway, n. H., Aug. S.-A

Gentlemen:-I send you herewith a
photograph of my boy, i'm compliance
with circular contained in your pack
age of food. During the first three
weeks of our boys life an incompetent
nurse gave him whiskey and la,ida--
mum. that her nights rest might not be
disturbed. and the result was a very
serious stomach trouble. Not sus-
pecting the cause of his trouble, we
took him from the breast and began to
battle with the various foods on the
market. Unfortunately, we tried
yours last. We began the use Of lac
tated food when baby was three
months old, and from the first the con-
dition of his stomach began to i'm
prove, and at no time since has he
been troubled, even though he was
cutting his teeth during all of the hot
weather.
His diet has consisted entirely Of
lactated food up to two months ago,
when we began to give him an occa-
sional crust of bread. He is at present
getting eight ounces of lactated food
once in 2l2 hours. but no solid food
other than the bread. Although he
weighs twenty-five or more pounds, he
is not fat, but his flesh is as hard and
firm as one could wish; in fact. he is
in perfect health. / send you this lit
tie history, not because l am blinded
enough by my boys good looks to con-
slider him the prettiest baby in the
land, but because l am glad Of an op-
portunity TO submit a proof of the vir-
tues of lactated food. Respectfully,
II. P. Barton, NJ. ID.
People have begun to find out that
medicines for babies are more sparing-
ly used in physicians families than in
any other, and that the well educated
physician when the mothers milk for
any reason is not sufficient. or when
not weather comes on. brings up his
own children on lactated food. Very
young children, who take hardly
enough nourishment to keep them
alive, eat heartily when fed on lacta-
ted food, and never know days sick
ness. Lactated food should be in the
hands of every parent these hot, dan
gerous months.
AS a preventive of cholera infantum
it is worth more than all the medicines
ever made. 1t is the one safe diet for
tender years.
At the first sign of looseness re-
course should be had to it without de-
lay. 1t builds up the strength when
babies are on the verge of some diarr-
hoeal disorder, and enables the dis
turbed intestinal tract to retain it's
vigor and regularity. 1t counteracts
the weakness and resulting emaciation
of diarrhoea. Lactated food is a
triumph of human intelligence in sue
cessfully combating infant disorders.
Lactated food restores sickly. ailing.
fretful little ones to health and
strength Infants thrive upon it; they
grow plump, strong, bright-eyed and
clear skinned. Thousands of mothers
who have brought up large families
upon lactated food praise it: babies
like it; it is within the reach of simple
homes. Very many babies that could
not be reared, that pinned and wasted
on other food, have grown fat. rudy
and strong on this best diet in the
world for a baby, namely. lactated
food.

The alimentary value of fish is in.

therefore be the universal aliment-

is substantially a luxury; in many
localities it is not obtaiuable fresh,
and so falls into public disfavor: but
even where presented in acceptable
condition, the accommodation is usu-
ally effected with difficulty and ex-
pense, involving a corresponding
limitation of sale. Thus it is that the
consumer is dissatisfied, the dealer is
not content, and the producer, the
poor fisherman, rightly bewails his
lot. for he profits least. 1t can be
truthfully said that there is no branch

Made of Unburned Brick =.

Adobe houses are made of unburned
brick. They are in common use in
Texas, Mexico, Central and South
America. The bricks are made of
loamy earth, containing about two
thirds fine sand and one-third clayey
dust. This mess is mixed with water
and pressed into molds of the required
size. Taken from the molds the adobes
are placed on edge on the ground and
left to harden in the sun. In few
days they are hard, compact bricks,
without Il crack. They are laid with
mud mortar, and at the completion of
every two feet of the structure an in
terval of one week is allowed for dry
ing, and similar space of time be-
tween the completion of the walls and
the putting on of the roof. The houses
are usually one story high, and the in
side is plastered before the roof is put
on. The duration of those houses is
much greater than would be supposed,
as there are a number now in exist
ence which have stood for more than a
century.

The Secret of Right-Hnndedne

A professor who has made study
of children says that he has discovered
why the majority of people are right
handed. Infants use both hands until
they begin to speak. The ''motor
speech function" controls the right
side of the body, and the first right
handed motions are expressive mo-
tions, tending to help out speech. As
