The scheme is an outcome of the food ex-
hibition at the LenoX Lyceum In fact
the company is headed by the same gentle
men who made that enterprise so glorious
success as the greatest free luncheon the
world has ever seen. That energetic fair
promoter and manager A. b. DE Frece is
the president and general manager, G. f.
Bussing Is treasurer and business man

The prospectus Of the company promises a

larly being emphatic in his declarations OF
the immense benefits the public is to de
rive from it.
The American iealtheres company in

on this side of the ocean as have proved
such great successes in England 1t in
tends, its circulars say, to illustrate and
explain, both by practical exposition and
publication, all manner Of food and drink,
as well as generally investigating all such
appliances and methods us may be in the
line of health and comfort. BY exact
chemical and microscopical analysis the
company will ascertain and make public
the true condition of the food and drink
offered to the public, and will inform the
individual consumer upon application of
any information in this particular he may
desire"
1t is expected by the ncorporators of the
company that they will not have to charge
for the information they have occasion to
give out. The food exhibition gave net
profit of $4,000, and this company believes
that 1t can do quite AS well as this, if not
better, with its annual exhibitions. Thus
the expenses of the venture will be paid,
the surplus being devoted to the erection
of building that may be used rs the per
manent home Of the company.

members have been already mentioned,
