Children All in School.

That practically every child in the city
who desires to receive a public school
education is now provided for was best
evidenced this morning. when the clerk
of the city school board, after appearing
at his Office and waiting the usual time,
found but one applicant awaiting per-
init. This was the only one issued to-
day.
The schools opened last September and
for the first few weeks thereafter con-
siderable number of additional permits
were issued. but now 1t happens that
frequently when the clerk of the school
board appears at his Office Monday for
that purpose there are no applicants.
1T is not believed many more additional
permits will be issued until after the first
of the coming year. there being an in
| creased number issued, as a rule. about
that time. All of the schools are now re-
ported TO be comfortably filed and work
ing in a satisfactory condition

Guard Your Baby Against the Summer

If only the baby gets through the summer all right " In thou sands of mothers minds that thought is running night and day. Yet sum- mcr need hold no terror for you if the baby is fed right. Nestle's Food will make this summer easy for you, as it has made the summer easy for other mothers for forty years. .i You are right to suard against the Summer. Summer diarrhea is the cause of more deaths than all the other childrens diseases put together, and it's chief cause is impure milk. Time and again, doctors have said that milk, as it comes from the COW, is no substitute for mothers milk; because cows milk contains indigestible curds and because 1t is full of germs. T But cows milk contains much that is good for the baby. Preserve the good parts, eliminate the bad parts, add some vital elements-and tb,result is Nestle Food. Mothers [-nd doctors have agreed in consider ing it the best substitute for mothers milk for two generations ]; and that's because it contains practically the same clements as mothers milk.
 
 Nestle's Food is the purest, richest cows milk, procured in sanitary dairies, from selected COWS, purified and modified under scien- tifc directions, and reduced to powder. Just add water, boil it two minutes and it is all ready for the baby-a delicate, perfect, digest ible, nourishing food that will ward of the summer terrors, and bring your baby through thel hot days, cheerful and happy.
 For forty years mothers have relied on Nestle's. For forty summers they have found that the bone and muscle supplied by Nestle's fought off summer disease. You will find that, helped out by Nestle's Food, your baby, too, will meet the summer as lightly as the
