Bread-Miss JOhnsOn's Recipes

The pure food exposition is booming.
The boom is heard and felt in every booth
in vast Convention Hall, and they have
been erected in numbers such as now make
1t impossible to discover sufficient space
to add another stand. The attendance last
evening reached the high-wat mark, and
the crowd was a cultured one, which ap-
preciated what it saw and ate.
The management has arranged q series
of special afternoons and evenings. This
evening will be physicians night, when
al practitioners and nurses presenting
their cards will be admitted free. Tomor-
row has been set aside for groccrs and
travelling statesmen. The orphans Of the
city are to be the guests at the show on
Friday afternoon, and Friday night the
exposition is to be surrendered to the Dis
trict OF Columbia National Guard. The
pupils OF the public schools are to hold
sway on Saturday afternoon.

not as yet been chosen, but Miss Johnson
has consented to act as referee.
The display OF the To-kalon Wine Com
pany attracts more than ordinary atten-
ton. the side OF the booth being con-
structed OF bottles containing the various
brands OF the company's product, while
Mr. Il. j. McQuade, the gentleman in
charge has made himself solid with the
visitors by distributing small sample bot
ties of wine.
The Imperial Baking Powder Company is
the reverse of mserly as regards the dis
tribution of cakes ard biscuits, and the
Mountain Buckwheat people are equally as
generous. Mr.. w. r. De Long, disguised
as an ideal Quaker. was center of at
traction last evening, and the flower booth
with a fresh stock and the proprietor, Miss
Sears. attired in a poetic gown, appeared
far from lonesome. The dispensation of
small sample bottles of Old Crow whisky
from one of the booths of James L. Bar
bour & Co., proved a drawing card. Prof.
Jenkins will, this evening, reproduce the
