A GREAT FOOD SHOW
PAN-AMsRlCAN EXHIBIT WILL REPRE-
SENT BOTH CONTINENTS.

Tropics an an Annex.
Born Of great idea, achieving |
matchless greatness under the pest
rauagement any great exposltlon mas
ever had the matured benent or In the |
Western world and with landslide OF
prosp, ity threatening to thrust itself
upon il, this Exposition OF all the
Americas in these glittering first days
of the new century makes fair bid TO
pass into history as one Of the Incl
dents inevitable in the forward sweep
Of the Western Hemisphere, one OF the
things called by Manifest Destiny and
not found wanting.
In the Division of Foods and Their
Accessories installation is about to be-
gin In a compact manner and with an
elegance suited to the selective charac-
ter which has been made possible by
the overdemand for space. Lucky do
those consider themselves who are
among the accepted ones, while others
who waited until the last moment and
| then found full house are not quite
satisfied with the limitations which bar
| would be exhibitors out three months
| before opening time-an unheard or
thing in food shows heretofore. Com
pensation will be found, however, FOR
the small limits Of this division In the
highly finished quality and intelligiole
arrangement Of the appetizing display.
Processes and methods Of manufac-
ture and packing will be shown, and
In addition souvenirs and samples will
be given away and the quality OF the
goods demonstrated, so that this divl-
sion will present an altogether festive
appearance day and night, and, with
handsome attendants and elegant
booths, will be a popular free rival OF
the Midway in entertaining the ex-
pected twenty odd millions of visitors
who consume foods and some kind OF
accessories three times a day, whether
they indulge In the allu-ements of art
music and science or not. The exhib
its consist of chocolates, coffees, teas
spices, fiavoring extracts and baking
powders, sugars, confectionery and
other sweets, preserves, jams, jellies
marmalades, nuts, mushrooms, dried
fruits and vegetables, foods prepared
from cereals, beverages for household
and other uses, preserved and pre-
pared meats and fish, gelatine prepara
tions, grocers' sundries and household
antiseptics.

United States and Canada.
\ large, beautiful building located
near the Agricultural building will be
devoted exclusively to Dairy Products
and Dairy Apparatus.
All the milk products will be exhibit

for the purpose Of maintaining as far
as possible the texture and quality of
the products on exhibition. Exhibitors
whose products form portion Of their
State or Provincial displays will not be
charged for exhibit space, but individ-

square foot for space occupied.
The exhibit of Dairy Appliances will
embody all the recent inventions and
improvements made in this industry,
including steriliZers, pasteurizers, sepa-
rators, coolers, churns, etc.
Electric power will be furnished in
the building should exhibitors desire to
demonstrate the work Of their ma
chimes for the benefit OF the visitors.

will be a seductive one, and in point Of
attraCtiveness, interest and utility will
surpass anything ever before attempt

operation during the entire Exposition
for the purpose Of determining as far

the adaptability Of certain breeds to

Mud Life Saver.
In London it was noticed that when
the streets were muddy there was a
marked diminution Of diseases that were
prevalent when dust is blowing. Ca
tarrhal troubles are plentiful when people
are compelled to inhale dust Consump-
ton, too, often gets its start from the
breathing Of flying particles Of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
into mud, and the power for harm is
gone, for mud is not inhaled. The germs
that infest dry dust become inert In mud,
because these germs, vicious as they are,
are too lazy TO 90 anywhere unless they
are carried. Moreover, mud is very like
ly to get ultimately into the drain pipe
and the germs are carried off where they
can do no harm. Even when mud dries
on the clothing and IS brushed off the |
dust that arises therefrom does not ap- !
pear to be as dangerous as that which |
has not been recently wet. - Leslie's |

Fined For Death on Board.

"The only place, as far as law is con-
cerned, where 1t costs money to Gle
from natural causes is aboard steam
ship" remarked a vessel owner. The
purpose of the law was excellent
enough. There was a time when emil
grants were being brought to this
country in very large numbers, or by
the shipload,' as it was termed. There
is no doubt that there was crowding IN
the ships that brought them, and TO
prevent this a law was ntafe assedo ti"nafs- 1tf1
sons over 8 years of age. This
put q stop to overcrowding, or, at
least, it is supposed that it did, which
Is about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having to pay fines Of this kind.
"Of course, In comparison with the
great army of persons who are brought
across the ocean from month to month,
there are very few deaths, for the stat
isticians have been kind enough to
show beyond a doubt that the steam
ship is the safest means Of transpor-
tation in existence, but, just the same,
there are a considerable number in the
