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 it was four weeks
old, with the following happy results:
Northampton Mass, Nov. A. 1895.
Wells, Richardson & Co:
My baby, Mabel, has been fed on
lactated 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 diet of lactated
food, and to judge from the greedy APP
petite she always has for every meal.
no one could be long In doubt as to its
agreeing with her and making her
grow, and at the same time keeping her
free from the bowel troubles that so
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. It's 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 ba-
bies refuse all other nourishment ex-
cept lactated food, which they take
with a decided relish.
In the preparation of lactated food
not only has absolute purity and free
dom from possibility of contagion. as
we'll as a remarkable nourishing power
been secured, but also 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
nervous, thin and fretful that a slight
increase in heat brings on the exhaust
ing diarrhoea or fatal cholera infantum.
No household where there are children
should be day without lactated food,
especially in June and July
With lactated food and a 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. Laetated 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,

ALARM BOX OUT OF ORDER
Three Attempts to Ring in an Alarm
For Fire In Goes Shop Failed.

Fire broke out in the case hardening
room at the Goes wrench factory on
Park avenue, last night, about Il. Is
o'clock. and about 5000 damage was
done. Box SO at Goes square, near the
factory, was out OF order and three at
tempts were made to ring in the alarm
there by Officer Darrell Sullivan, Mich
ael P. Kennedy and C. F. Parker, night
Waterman at the shop, but it failed TO
work, and Officer Sullivan telephoned
to fire headquarters and the alarm was
turned in there.
The caseh hardening room is in a sep
arate building and when the depart
ment reached the shop, the roof was in
a blaze. The fire was got under control
in short time. Night Waterman Par
ker made the usual round of the room
at 1915 o'clock, and says he found
everything all right at the time. A
large stock of wrenches was in the
heater at the time the fire broke out,
and after it was extinguished the fur
naces were relighted and work started
again. 1t is very uncommon Decor
renee for box to get out of order in
w orcester, and luckily the damage last
night was slight. The insurance is

Days of Anxiety Return
for Parents.
Will Baby Get Through
the Summer in Safety?
rIany Little Lives Depend
on Proper Diet.
Cholera Infantum Is Most
to Be Dreaded.
Lactated Food the Best
Preventive Known.

Summer casts it's shadow on many a
parents heart. How many a mother
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 keen the baby safe
High temperature with improper
feeding at this particular season brings
dread cholera infantum, diarrhoea and
commissions.
With the use of proper food-and
there is nothing so absolutely good as
iactated food-these dangers may be
avoided
Reports from homes all over the
country, and especially from the large
institutions where the great number of
infants gives ample data for accurate
Judgment, show that babies thrive best
upon lactated food.
