ATTRACTIVE EXHIBIT.

That of Foods and Their Accessories.
Including PRn-American Spices.
A very dainty pamphlet has been is
sued by the Division Of Foods and Their
Accessories Of the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo. The food work at
the Pan-American comes under the
general department of Horticulture.
Forestry and Food Products, Of which
Mr. Frederic w. Taylor is superintend-
ent. Mr. c. Edward Fuller, as assistant
superintendent. has entire charge Of
the Division of Foods and Their Ac-
cessories, and he has prepared himself
for unusual work in this line by spe-
cial travel and study such as no one
else probably ever undertook with the
same object. This pamphlet calls the
attention of jobbers of teas, coffees
and spices and all dealers in food prod
ucts generally and their accessories to
the interesting, useful and educational
work in their lines of business which
is going on for the Pan-American Ex-
position of 1901.
The assistant superintendent, Mr..
Fuller, says: "In the far east there are
foods and condiments of which We are
almost utterly ignorant here, and one
of the aims of the food exhibit will be
to educate the people Of the western
hemisphere to the cultivation of the
products which flourish in the east 1t
will be my aim to show how simple
and profitable II would he. for instance,
to grow In the West Indies what is
grown in the East Indies. The climate
and soil conditions are remarkably
similar, and the conditions are favor
able.
"The best proof Obtainable or desira-
BILE that the soil and the climate of the
West Indies is as favorable as that of
the East Indies for the production Of
spices is already available. The prod
ucts now received from the West In
dies are not equaled by those from any
other section of the world. At the
present time they grow better allspice,
ginger and red pepper there than any
where else on the globe, and the va
nIlla bean, which is queen Of spices, as
the nutmeg Is king, is found nowhere
In the world in such perfection as in
Mexico. The coffee grown in Mexico
has a flavor obtainable in no other cof-
fee. not even the Mocha or Java sur
