For the Benefit Of Worlds
Fair Visitors.

The great Louisiana Purchase EX-
position, or Worlds Fair, will open
its gates in st. Louis on April 3Oth,
and continue for period OF seven
months, closing on December 1st, 1904.
This Worlds Fair will be one of
the crowning events of this genera
ton. The magnitude of it surpasses
anything of like character ever before
attempted.
The space required for this EXPOS
ition comprises 1,240 acres, and is
about two miles long and one wide.
The greatest amount of space neces-
sary for any previous Worlds Fair
was 633 acres use by the Columbian
Exposition of Chicago.
The cost of the st. Louis Worlds
Fair, it is estimated, will aggregate
$40,000,000. The greatest cost of any
prior Exposition was $1S,900,000 for
the Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
A statement made in report of the
Director of Works of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair shows that on September
30th last, the Exposition Exhibit Build
| ings taken as a whole, were SO per
cent completed, while the Exposition
Exhibit Buildings of the Columbian
Exposition at Chicago at corresponding
period JTlOr W Lne OpSuluS VI IlldI
Exposition was but A per cent COM
pleted
Many of the State and Foreign
Buildings are now nearly completed,
while the others are in various stages
of construction.
Numerous temporary hotels are be-
ing constructed in close proximity to
the Worlds Fair Grounds, and num-
Der of permanent modern hotels are
being erected in the heart of the
city.
The Worlds Fair officials at this
time have listed rooming accommoda-
tion in hotels and rooming houses, suf,
ficent to take care of 10000 people
and it is expected that by the opening
of the Fair this list will be increased
to 100000
One hundred and sixty-nine Nation
al and international Conventions have
been secured for st. Louis during the
year 1904 and it is expected that some
seventy-five or eighty more will be
secured.
1t is estimated that at least 15,000,-
600 persons will be admitted to the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis.
A st. Louis Worlds Fair Free In
formation Bureau has been establish
ed, and is in charge of the undersign-
ed, who will gladly furnish any in
formation desired in regard ,..ereto.

The peculiar cough which indicates

mothers of croupy children. No time

received more universal approval than

waste valuable time in experimenting
with untried remedies, no matter how
highly they may be recommended, but

The pebbles are heated red hot, and then

Demand for Radium.

The demand of radium for medical
purposes exceeds the supply. Radium
possesses all the important qualities of
the Roentgen rays, besides being ready
for use at any time and furnishing its
rays without apparatus. A small glass
tube, not larger than goose quill,
containing little more than thou
sandth part of grain, is as effective
as an expensive and complicated elec-
trio apparatus for the treatment of can

One minute Cough Cure gives relief

the same time clears the phlegm,

Light from Radium.

The fact that radium eXerts very
peculiar influence upon light-emitting
bodies has given rise to the hope that 1t
may eventually play an important role
in the industry of light. A minute guam
tity of radium is sufficient to produce
a strong light from layer of zinc pyr-
ties, and this light produces no heat, so
that loss of energy is avoided.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulSioniS themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion,
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
