Comments of Kansas Newspapers On
the Exhibition.

Topeka was on dress parade last
week. They had a Pure Food show on
two floors of a big building and the
firms who had booths got many of the
handsome women of Topeka to put on
white aprons, jaunty little caps and
smiles to preside over the various de-
partments. The two daughters OF JOS

One of the very pleasant features at
the meeting of the Kansas editors at
Topeka was the Pure Food show now
open in that city. 1t was one OF the
finest exhibits in that line we have ever
SEEN and the Pure Food association I'M
der whose direction it was arranged,
deserve great credit for their enterprise
and taste. We would gladly go into
particulars but lack of space forbids--

Having left Glasco, Saturday morn
ing I arrived in Topeka about $3.50 p.
m just before the blizzard struck the
city. The Kansas Editorial association
does not meet till Monday SO pro-
~ceeded to attend to other business
which I had on the programmed MOOT
ed it, south, preferring that method of
travelling to the street car until came
to the river, when I stopped to examine
the work on the new bridge, in process
of construction. This is being built on
the old bridge site, the old one having
been moved far enough down stream to
give room for the work. Before 1 fin
sshed my business on Kansas avenue,
the blizzard was blizzing down that
thOrOughfare in true Kansas style. L
called on the State Journal people, who
have a fine pressed brick building hand
somely finished and equipped with the
latest patterns of newspaper machine
ny. The Journal is an evening paper
and the type setting was done for the
day, but 1 watched the press turn off
part of their edition, at the rate of $50
complete, folded papers per minute, and
this pOnderOuS mass of machinery did
not make any more noise than a fam
ming mill. After supper We presented
a GlaScO Sun card at the entrance of
the Pure Food exposition and spent
three hours tasting of the dainty jel-
lies, pancakes, sandwiches, doughnuts.

girls for the accommodation of the pub
lie. ManitOu water was poured out into
tiny goblets, but one held enough to
make me decide not to go to Colorado
for a good drink Don't wonder that
most of them drink something else out
in that cOuntry.) Coffee was freely
served, made in a patent coffee pot that
could be bought for only $1.75 F. o. B.
The Pure Food show is a success and
a feature that will pay the exhibitors
as well as visitors. In these days of
dyspepsia and consequent heart-trouble
it behooveS every person to be on the
watch out for wholesome nutritious
food at the lowest possible price KAN
SaS products, especially by Topeka
firms are we'll exhibited. We might call
especial attention to the Topeka vine
gar and preserving works, which has a
booth II feet square and ten feet high,
the best built booth in the show, COM
pletely filled with pickles and preserved
fuits and vegetables of every kind
imaginable, all of which were raised
around Topeka and put up at home.
