by creating strength: by turn
ing the oil into body and life
that is food.
Well send you a little to Try, if youlike.
SCOTT & BOVINE, 400 Pearl street, New York
roses. and you have in your minds eye,
the lavish imperial splendor of it all.
Until yesterday, Los Angeles and Col
orado Springs had held the record for
flower parades Yesterday Wichita
piucked the record from them. In
! length, in gorgeousness, in diversity of
design, Wichita surpassed anything ever
before attempted in the line of flower
paradeS There was not in the whole
parade a poor exhibit. 1t was four times
as long as the parade last fall. The
people who saw 1t were better dis
| tributed and saw it better; the line of
march accommodated more people and
| gave them a better view.
1t is estimated that fifty thousand peo-
pie saw it.
The parade started at the corner Of
Pine and Main, went south through the
street fair, emerging on Market street,
turning west on English, north on Main,
to Douglas and thence east on Douglas
and hack again to starting point like
a long parti-colored ribbon thrown into a
lasso.
The judges reviewing stand was in
front of the Kansas National bank, in
front Of which the parade passed three
times.
A description of the parade and We
| hicles fellows:
CHIEFS WALDENS GREAT HIT.
Approved by the popular judgment as
an extraordinarily beautiful turnout was
the crimson and yellow decorated road
| wagon of Fire Chief Walden Chief Wal
den in uniform and Mrs. Walden in a
| rich costume Of red and black occupied
| the vehicle. A fine gray horse drew the
| wagon whose elegant harness fairly
| cleaned with its own polished blackness.
| Crimson and yellow body, crimson and
yellow everything, combined in an effect of
/ richness rather than of gorgeousness. So
satisfying to the eye was the substantial
ness of the colors and the geometrioal
harmony of the designs carried out in
| the elaborate affair that Chief Walden S
wagon will be remembered as long as the
/ memory of the flower parade Of 1900 en-
dures, as one of the most striking and
beautiful in the entire display.
INNES AND POWELL, MARSHALS.
A flash of mirrory black and the fiauni
of purple and pink told Of the coming oil
the marshals. Mr.. Walter p. lines and
Mr.. John 1. Powell were dressed in pure
white with sashes, high military boots
and white felt hats. Mr.. lines rode q
prancing sorrel with gilded hoofs, decor
ated with garland of rich pink, and sci
off with rosettes of pink roses. M. Pow
ellis mount was handsome black glis-
tening under a wealth of brilliant pun pie
posies The two marshals carried eat she
same design in the two colors and as the
heralds of beautiful things to come made
a strikingly fine appearance.
PRYoR's MILITARY BANS.
: Following the mounted police and mar
shals. Pryor's Military Band mLrched.
| They favored the gathered mulitudes
/ with many excellent selections of music
| This band is made up of accomplished
| musicians and every one was delighted to
hear the sweet strains Of music. The
band was led by drum major dressed
| in pleasing uniform and wearing the reg
ulation black plume. The band marched
we'll under his direction. They showed
careful training in keeping step as well
as in using their instruments.
A S. PARKS LOCO-MOBILE.
Silent as a ghost on tiptoe. gltded the
lire. under as perfect control as any
mans own pair of feet, or the wings OF
the majectic condor. It seemed 20 float
into the field of vision and out again
red with the peoples which hid every
inch Of its surface and left only its ele-
CANT outline, as If it had been drawn out
Of a Kansas winter sunset-vivid as fire
Mr.. Parks and Mrs. Thomas P. Kelso were
its occupants. Wichita has not yet
ceased to test the torsion OF its caout-
chouc cervix when an auto sails by, SC
that Mr. Parks turnout had-what it did
not need to attract uncommon attention
THE added interest Of novelty.
WHITE AND GOLD.
| n carriage decorated WIN WnlLe anu
gold and drawn by two white horses
hitched to a tandem was one of the early
| features. The carriage was so arranged
that It gave views of the gold and then
the white. The horses were neatly har-
messed in trappings OF white and the en-
tire rig had that appearance of care and
elegance in the decorations. The young
ladies who occupied the seats carried
sunshades in perfect accord with the car
rage decorations. Those occupying the
carriage were Misses hey Jobes. Hattie
Roys, Leota Myatt Bertha Stewart
Ruth Rogers. Edith Mccoy. Helen Jack
son. Chris;iana Ross.
At the heads of the two horses were
attendants dressed TO match the fittings
Of the carriage and its decorations. The
horses were beautiful and 10 imagine a
more charming arrangement would be
difficult
