Summer lays a fearful responsibility
upon the mind of every thoughtful.
parent.
Every intelligent mother must feel
how completely the lives Of her little
ones are in her own hands for veal or
woe. Ignorance of the perils that
threaten the young children in summer
cannot fail to bring disaster.
There are happily fewer and fewer
parents every year who remain ignor-
ant of the fact that cholera infantum
carries off more than a fifth Of all the
babies before they have lived year.
Thousands Of little ones have gone
bravely through the summer thus far
without a days sickness, because they
have been kept well nourished and free
from any possibility Of contagion by
rich diet of lactated food. From the
many large charitable institutions
where babies are reared on an exclu-
sive diet of lactated food, not a single
death from cholera infantum or from
diarrhea has been thus far reported.
This is a remarkable record. Lacta-
ted food saves myriads of precious
lives, not only during the hot months.
but all the year round.
A strange ignorance exists among
certain parents that diarrhea is natural
during teething, and must not be
checked until that period is over.
No more fatal ignorance ever en-
tered a parents mind.
When, for any reason, the mother
cannot nurse her child, or when her
milk is insufficient, or poor in quality.

| identical with the most healthy, vigor-

basis of both.

and gave it to her. The result was 50
satisfactory that l have continued the
use of it ever since. She is now 10
months old, has four teeth. and has not
had sick day since using the food.
Ever since she was little over two
months old she has gone to bed be-
| tween six and seven at night, and
sleeps until half-past five and six in
the morning, without being fed through
the night. We recommend lactated
food to everybody"
Lactated food is recommended by
every mother who ever used it!

In making up lunch for picnickers,
some form of substantial food that
cannot easily be injured in transit,
should be supplied. and the most ideal
article for that purpose is Grape-Nuts.
This food comes in a Is cent package,
is already thoroughly cooked and can
be used either dry or with the addition
of some milk or cream.
Grape Nuts are used by some cpl
cures in frying fish, for they add de-
lightful flavor and are naturally su-
peror to the ordinary crumbed crack
ers or corn meal for this purpose. In
addition to the convenience Of Grape

LIKES THE AMERICAN COMPANY'S
PRESS.
An Arkansas Firm Used 1t last Season
With Great Satisfaction.

An Arkansas Firm Used 1t last Season
With Great Satisfaction.
From the Commercial Appeal, Memphis,
Tennessee.
A. j. Clements, of the firm of Clements
& Daniel, cotton ginners of Lonoke,
Ark, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Clements was seen by Commercial Ap-
peal representative in the Office of the
American Cotton Co., in The Continental
building, and he talked very enthusiasts
tically of that company's Ronndlap bale
press, which he has been operating at his
gin the past season. He compressed
about 900 bales on his Rnundlap bale
press, and the cntton was all sold at the
press at Memphis prices. Mr.. Clements
says that a Roundlap bale from the
American Company's press will net from
So so to So 90 more than from the old
press. In fact, farmer few months
ago made test of the matter, bringing
the exact number of pounds of the same
quality to Mr.. Clements that he did to
square bale press, without letting either
gin know that he was making test. and
the Roundlap bale netted Just 1915 more
than the square bale.
Mr.. Clements says that one season has
can Company's Roundlap bale press. 1t
is a good thing, he says, both for the
ginner and the farmer, and his firm will
continue it's use and abandon its other
press entirely.
