RARE COMBINATION.
The Floral and Electrical Display

The Floral and Electrical Display At
the Pan-American Exposition.
There is a saying that Flowers are
the poetry of earth. as stars are the
poetry of heaven" IL this be true. the
beauty of the doral effects to be seen
at the Pan American Exposition will be
pronounced as rare combination OF
both. for never yet at an exposition
have such magnificent effects been
seen as will be visible In some Of the
fountain basins at the Pan-American.
There beautiful plants and flowers,
kissed to a state Of dewy dazzlement
by the falling spray and the glow of
concealed incandescent lamps. will de-
light the visitor.
At the exposition In Omaha some
little success was obtained In thus
lighting up the flowers and the foliage
Of plants in the water basins, and this
has led Henry e. Rustin, chief Of the
mechanical and electrical bureau, to at
tempt to enlarge upon what he accom-
plished in Omaha. When thus lighted,
the flowers and plants take upon them
selves new colors, each one seemingly
more beautiful than the color displayed
under full sunlight. Then the little
mystery of where the illumination
comes from is delightful. and, knowing
this. the skilled electrician Is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf. an artificial flower. In
used to hide the lamp. but its full bril-
hancy Is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making q picture
that Is lasting. 1t Is when such effects
are obtained that the full appreciation
Of enjoyment is expressed in the single
word beautiful" 1t was SO at Omaha.
and it will be more SO at the Pan
American.

A CHINAMAN'S

RAINBOW CITY.

Pan-America1 Exposition A9lew
with Beautiful COlOrs.
Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme Of the
Pan-American. 1t was daring thing
to attempt to array in colors the ex-
tensive buildings of this Exposition. for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking, and to attempt 1t and
fail would be disastrous indeed. It
was out Of the question to duplicate the
White City at Chicago. Something abb
solutely new must be devised for the
Pan-American at Buffalo. Happily the
Spanish renaissance architecture fur
nished the hint for the solution OF this
problem, and now that 1t has been
solved and the color scheme Is seen to
be so well adapted to the purposes or

FALL COLDS

cause Hard to Cure.
VERY LIKELY TO LAST ALL
WINTER.
ne Know Something that Cures An
Pulmonary Troubles.
Hls OUR GREAT TONIC RECON
STRUCT0R, VIN0l.

There seems to be an epidemic Of
colds.
It IL strange how many people start
IN with . cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it Ia
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Do not, if you have cold, go through
this winter and let 1t pull you down. A
racking cough may be the means Of un-
dermining your constitution, terminal
ing In consumption, when there will be
NO hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
zion. Naturally Cod-Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people rs the first stage Of this
disesse. There Is no need Of our tell
in9 Won the drawbacks of Cod-Liver
Oil: the vile, greasy mixture was SO re-
pellsnt that not more than one person
In ten could take it. But Cod-Liver
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have Q cod-liver oil prepare
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.
Anybody can take Vinol. It tastes de-
lsious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod-Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases, It will be readily seen how valu-
able IL Is for all such troubles.
Here Is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. E. Coghlan, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
"Last September I contracted
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. AL winter
I had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things,
among them Cod-Liver Oil. tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief. At last 1 heard Of Vinol and
gave It trial. Five bottles cured me
and have had no troubles since"
When we talk of Vinol, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money If you are not
satisfied.

The skies are black, the winds are bold,
The road 10 rough and long,
But what are clouds and stony ways
When hearts are full Of song2
And two there be who walk life's path
Unheeding wind or weather,
And minding but your merry sprite
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth, all days are bright,
With him for guide and sun,
And three are always company,
II Love be one!
The road 10 smooth, the wind 10 soft,
The sky IL clear o'erhead,
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts are dead;
And what is song that fills the ears.
But can no farther go;
And what is light that eyes can SEQ.
But souls can never know?

As though they walked alone,
For two are never company
