The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Will open April Both and close
Dec. 1st, seven months, which is
month longer than the period Of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago in 1898, owing to the fact
that the weather at st. Louis during
October and November being pecu-
liarly pleasant, it being the Indian
Summer of the Middle States. In
order to appreciate the immensity Of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition il
should be noted that the area of the
exposition grounds IS ,24O acres as
against the Worlds Fair at Chicago
633 acres; the Buffalo Pan-American
300 acres and the last Paris EXPOSE
lion 1876 acres. In other words the
area of the grounds of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is nearly equal
to the combined area Of the Chicago,
Buffalo aud Paris eXpositiOns, The
approximate cost Of the exposition Is
nhy million dollars. All the nations
of the world Will have elaborate
exhibits. The midway" will be a
nile long and cost over $1,000, 600.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and Ioc
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthemo
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS 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
SCOTS 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 a special
action on the diseased lungs
