Goodby!” Then she went down the ladder, and Captain Kettle never saw lier again. A quartermaster came up nnd took the wheel. The windlass engine had been clacking, aud the red haired man. who had constituted himself tempora ry mate, called out from forward, “All gone.” “Quartermaster,” said Kettle. “Yes, sir," sold the quartermaster, “Nor’-nor-west and by west.” “Nor'-no’west. no'west It Is. sir,” said the quartermaster briskly.

He awakened her, nnd he told Saunders that if she fell asleep again he might call attention to her by holding up bis hand. Then he proceeded with his sermon. “Some weeks went by, and one Sun day Saunders, sure enough, put his hand up. The wife was asleep again. The minister thundered out her name, hade her rise to her feet nnd said to her liefore the whole congregation: “ ’Mrs. MacGregor, anybody kens thnt when I got ye for a wife I got no beauty; yer friends ken I got no siller; now, if I dluna get God's grace I shall have a pulr bargain indeed.’ ’’—Kansas City Journal.

With baby*« bones hardening, the fontanel (opening In the skull) closing up and Its teeth forming, all these coming at once create a demand for bone material that nearly half the Uttle systems are deficient in. The result ia peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal. The deaths In 1900 under three years were 804,988, to say nothing of the vast number outside the big cities that were not reported, and this in. the United States alone.

A large percentage of In fantile Ills and fatalities are the result of slow teething. Your food supplies what the deficient system derrrands, and I have had surprising success with :t. In score« of cases this diet, given with their regular food, ha« not failed to che k the infantile distresses. Several of the more serious cases would, I feel sure, have been fatal without It. It can not be too quickly brought to the attention of the mothers of the country. It is an ab solute necessity. L l C. MENDEL, M. D. Petaluma. Cat, September 1» tttt. Dear Sirs—I have jwsf tiled the teething food in two cases and in both It was a suc cess. One was a very serious case, so criti cal that it was brought to me from another city for treatment. Fatal results were feared. In three days the baby ceased worrying and commenced pat Ing and is now well. Its actio« in this case was remarkable.

It is the safest plan and a blessing to the baby to not wait for symptoms but to commence giving It the fourth or fifth month.
