Malted Milk Dyspepsia

An artificial food for babies should contain every element of nutrition in proper proportion, in order that the growing child may receive nourishment that produces a proper growth of muscle, bone and flesh. Horlick's Malted Milk is such a food. It is made of the best cows' milk combined with wheat and barley, specially prepared and adapted to the needs of the

Cholera-Infantum and Marasmus than when other artificial or starchy foods are used.

SABBATH CLOSING OF THE WORLD'S FAIR.

THE one supreme, sublime moment in the defense of Sabbath closing at the World's Fair was when Senator Quay, on July 9, had the Fourth Commandment read from his Bible by the Senate's clerk, as his only and sufficient argument for his amendment conditioning upon Sabbath closing the Fair's financial aid from this "Christian nation," so called in a recent Supreme Court opinion. The Senators listened in reverent silence to that constitutional law of nations. a scene worthy of an historic painting to be hung beside the landing of Columbus, cross in hand, or the devout landing of the Pilgrims after making in the Mayflower that famous compact, which Daniel Webster used to say was in reality the first paragraph of our American Constitution.

It was

In that act Senator Quay was the very personation not only of his father, a Presbyterian minister, who gave him that Bible, but especially of his Western Pennsylvania Scotch Irish constituency, which had sent more petitions and letters for Sabbath-closing than any whole State in the land.

It was one of those spontaneous movements by which defeat is suddenly turned to victory, like the uprising without orders of the reserve regiment at Gettysburg, when Pickett's charge had broken our lines. Few know how nearly defeated we were at that moment. In the first skirmish, in the House of Representatives, on May 25 and 26, when Western Pennsylvania was again fitly at the front in debate in the person of

Hon. Wm. A. Stone, who was ably seconded by Mr. Johnstone of South Carolina, the Sabbath-closing cause had its Bull Run, beaten by a vote of one hundred and twenty-four to forty-three. This defeat was on a proposition to condition a half million appropriation upon Sabbath-closing, but soon after, the majority of the House Committee on the World's Fair, doubtless representing what was then the sentiment of the House, voted also against so conditioning the proposed five million appropriation. In the Senate, the majority of the World's Fair Committee, Senator Pettigrew, chairman, voted in favor of Sabbath-closing, but the Senate's Committee on Appropriations, to which this recommendation was sent, killed it so silently that the assassination has not hitherto been published. When this Appropriation Committee reported the five million appropriation as an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill, Sabbath-closing appeared only in the worthless and nominal amendment received from the House that closed only our Government Exhibit, which had been closed even at Paris and Vienna by the Secretary of State, and would have been closed by precedent again without an act of Congress. The friends of the Sabbath in the lobby had not anticipated this contingency. It was supposed that the Sabbath-closing decision of the Senate's Committee on the World's Fair would be adopted as a matter of course by its Appropriation Committee. Senator Quay had announced that he would vote for Sabbath-closing, but the World's Fair Committee were relied on to introduce and push the measure. Apparently without a moment's premeditation, Senator Quay sprang to the breach and offered his amendment, conditioning the five million appropriation on Sabbath-closing, and sending to the clerk what he called a "law book," with a marked passage, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy," to be read. The Senator who had said that "politics owes no allegiance to the Decalogue and the Golden Rule" was not there. While that divine argument yet stood alone, and before other humane and patriotic considerations were urged in the noble addresses of Senators Hawley and Colquitt, a test vote showed forty-five for closing to eleven for opening. God's law speak.
