Not a Noslrum When your hands or lips are chapped the skin is in exactly the same condition that the lining of your throat, bronchial tubes or stomach is when those parts are troubling you. You wouldn't think of using any of the medicine on your chapped hands that you take into your stomach to cure your internal Ills. That's Just why so many people are chronically complaining of asthma, sore throat, lung afflictions and stomach troubles. The best remedy known for chapped skin Is ordinary cream. Milks' Emulsion exercises the same healing and soothing influence over the mucous linings I 10 Novel Features of the Liner Baltic in Equipment and Carrying Capacity. NEW YORK, June 7. Within a few weeks the largest ship afloat will again enter this harbor. This is the White Star liner Baltic, which is due to arrive here on her maiden voyage on July 7. In succeeding to the title of Queen of the Atlantic, the Baltio follows her sisters, the Oceanic, Celtic and Cedric, which have held it successively for the last five years. The Investment of millions of dollars in vessels of this class for passenger traffic was somewhat In the nature of an experiment at the time that it was undertaken, but its success Is indicated by the fact that the Cedric. which until now has been the leading exponent of this type of ship, last year carried more first-cabin passengers, trip for trip, than any other liner sailing from New York. Only a few days ago It was announced that one of the German lines which heretofore has been one of the leading competitors for speed had decided to adopt the new style of ship and would build a liner of over 30,000 tons, of the same type as the Baltic. H. Ismay, president of the WThite Star Company, decided that the striving for speed was going too far, and planned a fship of greater size., steadiness, luxury and reserve power than any in existence. This was the inception of the Oceanic, and the same ideas were carried still further In the construction of the Celtic and Cedric, which followed soon after. The Baltic has the same beam as the Celtic and Cedric, but is twenty-five feet longer and about 3,(X) tons heavier. Her length is 725 feet 9 Inches, her beam seventy-five feet and her' tonnage 24,000. Not only is she a giant in size, but her equipment shows the steady and rapid progress that is being made In the construction of ocean vessels. Perhaps this Is most marked in her various electrical devices, In respect of which the Baltic Is far in advance of any liner now in commission. Some of these are safety devices. To prevent collisions in fogs or at any other time there Is an indicator on the bridge which points to tho exact location of any ship entering its magnetic zone. This is in the shape of a dial with a needle set in its face. As soon as another ship comes within a certain distance about five miles the needle points directly at it, and in this way its exact location is made known. This electrical machine is so delicate that the screw revolutions of the approaching steamer are registered by means of the wave vibration, thus making it impossible for another ship to creep upon the Baltic In the dark or fog without its presence being Indicated. These indicators are being placed on the ships of the English navy. The Baltic Is the first steamer to have a. complete electric cooking and refrigerating apparatus. CLASS PLAY GIVEN BY EARLHAM STUDENTS Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., June 7.

MULSION or any of the other common names, the afflicted parts are in the same sore, cracked and sick condition that your rough and wind-cracked hands often are in. Much depends upon the condition of jour skin. When It is soft and firm there is no rain. When It is rough and chapped every move of the affected parts causes suffering. The skin, or mucous lining of the Internal parts, performs Important functions. When it gets Into the rough and sore condition these functions are improperly and painfully performed. If it is the stomach, the proper secretions are not prpduced, the food Is poorly digested, constipation results and from this may develop any of the innumerable afflictions which beset the human body. It all starts from the unnatural condition of the lining of the affected parts. It is useless to treat indigestion or constipation. . treat the mucous lining of the stomach. Restore It to Its natural and healthful condition and all the other ills will soon disappear. Milks Emulsion Is Just the thing to use when the throat is dry and sore, or They Say They Find in Caring for Little Creatures Many Lasting Delights. CHICAGO, June 7.-AdoptIon of infants and small people by unmarried women, young and old, of Chicago, has become an established factor in the disposal of homeless children. The reasons given for the taking to their hearts of the little children who soon come to mean so much to them are a3 various as the children, but they all express the same thought and feeling. Love for the Innocent child nature lies at the root of the adoption. "Why shouldn't we adopt children?" question the tender-hearted women who have followed the dictates of their natures. "Because a woman does not marry it by no means follows that she is not a good-natured mother. And with so many homeless children In the world, in Chicago, good mothers of any kind must certainly be of use." Miss Jessie P. Forsythe has a big house at Winfleld, 111., a big garden and a heart to match it. Miss Forsythe believes that no home Is truly complete without children. Two years ago, making up her mind to prove the truth and value of her theory. he looked about her for two smnll boys. When Miss Mary M. Bartelme, public guardian of Cook county, heard of Miss Forsythe she pleaded in behalf of two orphan girls who were her charges! Miss Forsythe, taking the little girls on trial, found them so charming that she adopted them.
