COOKING FOR INYALDs.
Miss Sarah Craig Gives the Second OF
Her Interesting Lectures.


Her Interesting Lectures
People are now beginning to realize what
rare exhibit is the Pure Food Exposition
which occupies Tomlnson Hail. The expo
sltion is on the same plan as those that
have been held In number of the larger
cities over the country, where it has al
ways proved a success. The management
here states that the exposition will be con-
tinued for two weeks at least and if the
proper interest is shown in it the time will
be extended indefinitely. A number of the
displays which are on exhibition at Tomlin-
son Hall are the same that have been
shown at the expositions in the other cit
les. Some of the largest dealers in food
products over the country go from one ex-
position to another with their displays, and
have gone to a large expense. The ar
tistic work of most of the booths
wherein food products of every descrip-
ton are exhibited rivals that of the
worlds fair. The principal firms of this
city have recognized the value of such an
exposition, and have spared neither pains
nor expense in the preparation of their ex-
hlplts. An afternoon or evening may be
spent most profitably at the exposition for
when one is tired of the show he may sit
ana listen to the music, which is furnished
by an orchestra.
Yesterday afternoon the attendance was
somewhat increased the women being in
the majority. The special attraction to
them was the lecture on cooking, delivered
