Why Some Women Grow Old

A woman expends more vital en-
ergy in baking one batch of bread
than she can regain by careful nurs-
ing in four of five days. In other
words, every baking of bread short
ems her life just so much. Does it
pay? Why shonld women be old
and careworn before middle life i?
Marvin's fine bread is just as good
and pure and sweet as the best house
wife can make. It's just as cheap
and it saves all the worry and both
er and work of baking. Why not
use it +?
You can get it from your grocer
fresh every day. Try it during the
hot weather and satisfy yourself.

-"UorldS Columbian Exposition IL
lHShdted for Jtly."- To say this number
is the most interesting, beautiful and vslu-
able of all the numbers so far issued is
putting the fact very mildly. Indeed 1t is
the crown Jewel of the seventeen artistic
gems-the seventeen numbers so far pub
lished. This month the frontispiece is a
full page, half-tone, copper plate engrav
ing of the Hon. II. III. De Young of San
Francisco, third Vice President of the
Worlds Columbian Commisson. 1t con-
tains many leading articles of paramount
importance to all those interested in the
growth and development of the Exposition.
we notice especially ''The Nation wishes
It. setting forth very strongly that the
Exposition is not only national enter
prize but should be dignified by substan-
tial National support. 1t leaves no ground
for any belief other than that the Amer
lean people so view this great enterprise
Thore are two very valuable and timely
articles entitled, Sunday Opening VS..
Closing" and Sunday Opening at the
Worlds Fair The latter is by Mrs.
Frances E. Bagley of Michigan, Lady
Manager at-large and widow of the late
Gov. Bagley. She has arrayed her argu-
ments in an interesting and convincing
manner. and her article sheds considerable
light on the satisfactory solution of this
much mooted question. There is sched
ule of the 'Official Traffic Arrangements
for the Exposition" including the rail
roads and the trans. oceanic steamship
lines. This article is of great Importance
to intending exhibitors and visitors. very
conspicuous among the artistic features
are engravings, nearly all full page, of
statuary for the adOrnment of the principal
buildings There are two excellent full
page engravings of the Washington
State building and of the Maine State
building, with many photographs of the
State board managers of these two States.
There is also a double page engraving Of
the Mines and Mining Building, the first
of the great department buildings to be
completed. Altogether, too much can not
be said in praise of this admirable number.
In a more pleasing and definite manner,
by means it, than ever before can we
appreciate the great Importance and the
educational influence of the Worlds Col
umbian Exposition. From first to last
there will be sixty numbers of this journal.

One night only, July, 2Is:.


Mr.. AL G. Field has brought together for
the season the best aggregation of his pro-
fessional career, and the entertainment
gwen by his minstrels at the metropolitan
last night received from the large and en-
thusiastie audience a generous and deSer-
we'd recognition. The generous reception
bestowed was not, in the strict sense OF
the term, the result of home pride and for
the reason that Mr.. Field is resident of
Columbus, but because has gathered q
combination of artists who furnish about
all that is first-class in his line, and they
also have the faculty and training which
puts the performance on in an original
manner without following out any OF the
beaten paths. The reception, however,
was nothing moro than it should have been,
considering the merit which Mr.. Field has
called together for what is bound to be his
most successful season before the amuse-
m ent loving public. The parade which
was given yesterday attracted about as
much attension as an ordinary circus, and
had tendency to give a forecast of what
was to be expected ut the Metropolitan

gram was in good taste, and although nc
