you have some idea Of the contents Of
the Palace Of Machinery.
We cross the lagoon to the east
ward and come to the beautiful Palace
Of Electricity, with eight acres OF cX-
hibits from many countries. which
show the marvellous development Of
electrical science. To the north again
over one Of the archcd bridges we ap-
proach the Palace Of Varied Indus
tries, viewing its wonderful grace and
splendor as we go. Here are fourteen
acres Of exhibits from all over the
world. The Palace of Manufactures
is the same size and stands on the Op-
pOsite side Of the Plaza Of ST. Louis
It is equally interesting i'm the variety
and newness Of its contents
Opposite the Palace of Manufactures
TO the southwark Is the Palace Of Edu-
cation, this being the first time that
education has been allotted a great
building all its own. A variety Of
schools In daily session are the feature
OF this eight acre display. The two
exhibit buildings in the eastern part
OF the main group are Mines and Met

The largest of these Is the Palace OF
Agriculture, withits twenty-three acres

the most wonderful agricultural col

side great numbers ot individual eX-

chosen for extraordinary display.
Corn. cotton. sugar, rice and tobacco
are here arrayed as they have never
been before, and undreamed pOssibili-

zon IL Ailing.
To maintain the balance Of perfect
health in body so complex as mans,
where the CirCulatory, respiratory,
muscular and nervous systems inter
act so much upon one another, there
is need OF very frequent adjustment,
especially in such a busy age as
this.
One great benefit Of change OF air
Is that the great law Of contrast en-

Of the body are very really rested by
