To properly provide for such a vast

Horticulture it has necessitated the
erection of numerous and extensive

The falling of leaves from tho trees
and the chill of the air at morning and

of winter and remind us that the end of
the worlds fair is ut hand. In another

this in view the departing verdure of

with the sweetness and beauty of the
fading flowers. and we regret the time
lost among other attractions of the

that the chilling hand of winter is

It has been said by eNacting individ-
uals that in the respect of flowers and
plants the exposition has been sadly
lacking, and it has been remarked by
thoughtless persons that it wasn't
worth while to erect SO handsome and

of the lovers of nature, and the busy
gardeners and attendants of the horti-

hands full in changing the plants as

are not likely to intrude. All! many
are the heart stories that have been
murmured soft and low within the
gates of that magic city by the lake,
and many are the fates that have been
sealed beside tho still waters of the
limpid lagoon.
An attractive spot for the searcher
after historic lore is the Washington
house, in the northeast portion Of the
state building section Tucked away
in the funny little rooms are the old
household treasures of the first presi-
dent of this glorious republic-pianos,
paintings and bric-a-brac in the last
stages of decrepitude which in their
day were considered the finest in the
land; chairs, tables, ETC., which are
held as too sacred to be handled by
careless hands. The house, the grounds
and ali are reproduced as nearly like
the original homestead as human skill
could make them.
Situated on the north lagoon close by
Walton lodge, a quaint little cottage
erected to commemorate the great
deeds of the immortal Isaal<, the patron
saint of fishermen.
Few visitors at the fair in passing
the quaint little cottage seem to recog-
toric interest connected with its name.
When the members of this Chicago
fishing club determined to have an ex-
hibit which should illustrate and en-
nance the usefulness of their art they
wisely chose for their building a model
of the fishing cottage which Isaalk Wal
ton and his adopted son, Charles Cot
ton, erected on the banks of the River
Dove in 1914, and which, after all this
lapse of time, still stands as an inter-
esting reminder of the great apostle of
piscatorial pleasures.
Hero within the last few days the
disciples of the great fisherman have
held contests of skill in the art of cast
ing the fly. aud beautiful and valuable
prizes have been awarded to the victo-
rious contestants. 1t is exceedingly
dol, btful if the father of fishermen ever
beheld in his day such fcats of skill
with the rod and line as were performed
on these occasions

ON account Of the big profits made in
their sale. Most Of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
elka1tes which burn and indame the
ELEMENTARY organs and cause indiges-

etc. Sulphnric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-

Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-

Baking powders made from chemical

ate of soda are among the most useful
of modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and

they have added to the digestibility
and wholesomeness of our food. But
baking powders must be composed of
such pure and wholesome ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York. in an article in the ''Doc-
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad-
vantages of a good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers of
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. "The
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity, which when com bined
under the influence of heat and mois-
ture produce pure carbonic, or 1eaven-
ing, gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compromising weights, SO that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically dis

character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seem
to be necessary.
