COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the st. Louis Exposi-
ton as an advertising institution and
school Of instruction is fully appre-
ciated by 'the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands of
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find a market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use of coffee.
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample better grade of Rio.
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope of pro-
noting a larger trade with it's new
mother country.

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
tives of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as a great food product.
The United States and other great ma
tions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as a staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome ali objections, the
banana has. been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
a fine flour out of which bread is
made. and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into wholesome cof-
fee.
The st. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world Now this
nutritious bread and coffee. are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the Worlds
Fair.

THE SPEED CONTEST.
Barney OIdfield Lost Control of
His Automobile.
Two Men Were Killed and OIdfield
Painfully Hurt-The Machine Went
Through Il Fence and Was
Completely Demolished.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-Blinded by the
dust thrown by the swiftly moving ma
chine of A. C. Webb, of Toledo, O.,
Barney Oldfield, of Cleveland, O., lost
control of his machine in false start
of the fifth event of the Worlds fair
automobile speed contests Sunday and
crashing through the outer fence of
the course, instantly killed John Scott,
watchman employed at the park, and
inflicted injuries upon Nathan Mont
gomery, Negro, from which he died
few hours later. Oldfeld was pain
fully injured and his machine COM
pletely demolished.
The accident occurred after a false
start. The fiagman vainly attempted
to signal Oldfield and Webb, who were
leading, that the start was not allow
ed, but they did not see his flag and
continued around the course at high
rate of speed.
Shortly after passing the first turn
OF the mile track Webb secured the
lead by narrow margin and the men
were in a relatively same position
when passing the three-quarter pole.
In making the turn, Webb's machine
skidded and raised a binding cloud
of dust that completely blinded Old
field and half smothered him.
Not being able to see that he had
completed the turn, Oldfeld continued
his course and crashed through the
fence
When Oldfeld failed to appear after
Webb had emerged from the dust cloud
there was considerable excitement,
but as it was announced that he was
not seriously injured and shortly after
ward he was driven to the clubhouse
in an automobile it was not generally
known that the accident had resulted
fatally
The race, after short delay, was
run, being won by Webb by a large
margin. 1t was the most important
event of the day, the prize being the
Louisiana Purchase exposition trophy
valued at $500.
After the races s Barney Oldtield
said: This race is my last. l am
through with the game. as fas as rae
ing is concerned. 1 may take part in
exhibitions, but no more contests for
me-"
This is the second serious accident
that Barney Oldfield has figured in,
AT Crosse Pointe, Detroit, few years
ago, his car left the course, killing a
man. Oldfield had three of his ribs
broken.
