The more one studies the official plans
and figures and the more one looks into
the preparations that have already
been made and the structures that have
already been put up the more one is
impressed with the fact that the Paris
exposition OF 1900 is to be an affair un-
equaled in the history of the world.
Officially, The origin Of the exposition
dates from the month of July, 1872.
Paris had already had four great expo
sitions, each one of which had been an
unqualified success The first had been
in 1855, the second i'll 1867, the third i'm
1878 and the last in the year 1889.
Shortly after the closing OF the last eX-
position the idea of IL great centennial
international exposition TO be held In
the last year OF the nineteenth century
was tentatively taken up by the press
of Paris. The people liked the idea. 1t
WIS not until 1892. however, that an
official move was made toward any
such end. This move took the form OF
Il communication from NJ. Jules Roche,
the minister of commerce at that time.
to President Carnot pointing out the
advantages of such an exposition.
On the 18th of July following de-
cree was issued by President Garnet
announcing u universal exposition OF
works OF art and of industrial and agri-
cultural products" The date first fixed
for the opening of this exposition was
May 8. and IL was originally decided
that 1t should last until Oct. 81. These
dates were subsequently changed tc
April Is and Nov. 6. Preliminary stud
les were ut once made and q financial
scheme was devised.
For the convenience of reorganization
and administration the management,

If you see woman or a man with lux

has dandruff to amount to anything. In
nearly every case where women and men
have thin, brittle hair, they owe it to
dandruff. There are hundreds of prepar-
ations that "claim" to cure dandruf, but
not one but Newbro's Herpicide tells
you that dandruf is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that perma-
nent cure of dandrutf and its consequent
falling and badness, can only be had by
killing the germ, and there is no other
preparation that will destroy that germ
but Newbro's Herpicide. "Destroy the
