Breakfast

This represents the necessary ex-
pCnses of two persons who are merely
intent upon seeing the exposition and
who are willing to use their legs, some
thing that can be done without fatigue
these bracing, delightful fall days. If
to this sum we add 40 cents for four
rides on the intramural railway, which
circles the entire grounds. and % cents
each for side show or Pike attraC-
ton, we increase the total days eX-
penditure for the couple to $685.. 1t is
unnecessary for me to say that there
is scarcely any limit to what person
may spend here in day if he starts
out with the intention of contributing
as much as possible TO this great edu-
cational enterprise. a man may spend
five or six dollars for meal, but there
are places at the exposition where a
good rOurishing, hygienic lunch may
be had for - cents and a good table d
