When President Roosevelt touched the electric key at the white house in Washington, which set in motion the machinery of the worlds fair at St. Louis, he not only opened to the world the greatest display of the arts of peace the world has ever known. but he gave to the nation fit climax of a century of growth of that vast territory west of the Mississippi-the Louisiana territory
 When, at the swing of lever, 90, GOO gallons of water per minute was re- leased to flow over the beautiful cas- cades in front of Festival hall, there was completed the most beautiful ex- position picture the world has ever seen, picture that will live in the mind of every visitor to the great fair Chicago had its Court of Honor. it's stately palaces set against a back ground of the blue waters of Lake Michigan; Buffalo had it's wonderful illumination, its dusk of evening brightening into day again as the countless thousands of twinkling lights brought back the effect of the rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful as they were, have been surpassed by the glory of the cascades, the foaming waterway, rushing downward from the eolennades surrounding Festival hall. 10 the great lagoons, with their myriad colors, intersecting the wonderfully beautiful grounds in all directions.
 Just as this newest of expositions surpasses all others in beauty, so also, does it in size. One thousand two hun dred and forty acres. literally covered with the treasures, the productions, the euriosities of ,Ae world, tell the story Of the fair in a sentence. No one wis itor will ever see it all, though he spent the full time the exposition is open at the task. An exposition which cost s50,000 GOO before it's gates were opened to the public; an exposition 10 which 52 nations from all cor ners of the world have sent their

the visiting public 10 remember the fair by what might be termed it's legitimate portion, it's wealth of educational ex- hibits, and yet, who would say that tn, shows along the "Pike" are not edu- cational in their way. On it are vil- lages of every sort, and amusement features of every description. Five million square feet of entertainment Among outdoor shows, that are not to be confounded with those of the Pike" may be mentioned the reproduction of the City of Jerusalem and the forty acres of Filipinos.
 Among the most interesting of the many features of the fair are the vari- ous government exhibits housed in the Government building which is 500 feet long by 250 feet wide. Every function of the government is exem- plifed in this building. Among these exhibits is a complete government mint for the manufacture of coin, but at St. Louis Uncle Sam is making in, stead of coin gold souvenir medals, but the process is the same as if the product was legal tender. While Uncle Sam has a monopoly on the money making business he guards the priv ilege jealously and does not risk the precious dies. which put their inn prints upon dimes. dollars and eagles, to leave their place of keeping.
 Besides a modern coining press, from which drops a bright medal at every click, is a screw press built in 1795 and used at that time to stamp small coins. There is also hammer 120 years old and a small pair of bal ances formerly used in the Philadel- phia mint Comparing these with the improvements made in the last 100 years reveals how much easier it is now for Uncle Sam to replenish his treasury than it was when he was young in the business.
 All of the machines used in the plant are driven by independent direct current motors. the power for which

Is transformed from $50 volts to 20. The gas for all heating operations, such as annealing, melting. etc. is manufactured by an independent plant situated outside the building. and so arranged that it can be controlled in the exhibit. These machines were de signed and built especially for this purpose.
 First of the series of devices com posing the plant is a furnace which supplies a heat of 2,000 degrees r. for the melting of metal alloys. Here the metal is cast into ingots and washed in dilute solution of sulphuric acid to free the surface from copper oxide The ingots are then run through the rolling mill and reduced in thickness from one-half an inch to eighty five thousandths of an inch. This mill is operated by 50 horse power motor The power is transmitted to the rolls by means of helical gears and pinions.
 After rolling the strips are heated in the annealing furnace to soften them for the cutter. Then they are cooled again by water spray. For merly in the annealing process oxida- tion took place during this operation. blaekening the metal and necessitat- i ing special cleaning operation.
 When the strips are cut to their proper length by the multiple shears. they are blanked by the cutting press which runs at 210 strokes per minute. The blanks are then upset in order to give enough metal at the edge for the border of the finished medallion This tends to harden the edge and after another annealing in a rotary furnace, cleaning, drying and polish ing in a rotary tumbler and drying machine, they are ready for stamping
 Uncle Sans imprint of value is then put upon the blank coin with a press which eXerts a pressure of 130 tons, this great force being required 10 properly bring up the design Then the bronze souvenir drops into the custodian's hand a finished product It is just so that dimes are made and that five. ten and twenty-dollar gold pieces are supplied for the treasury at Washington.

best for the people of the world to look upon: an exposition two miles long and one mile wide; an exposition that is twice the size of any other to which the public were invited; an ex- position that is larger than the three previous large American eXpOsitions combined. Such is the exposition with which St. Louis celebrates the centennial of the Louisiana purchase.
 But the men responsible for the eX- position do not wish that it should at tract by its size alone They have builded for beauty, as well as for big ness, and who can stand in the center of the great panorama without being aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by the beauty that surrounds him? It is the beauty. rather than the size of the fair, that first appeals to him.
 Another thing that appeals to the American. the man who loves his coun- try. is the sentiment the exposition stands for It is sentiment that is fully exemplified in the imposing he roic statues of the states that stand on either side of Festival hall These statues typify not the states of the east. but these of the west, the states carved out of the Louisiana territory the states that stretch from the gulf to the Canadian border. from the Mis- sissippi to Puget sound: states that have within a century of time been builded out of the wilderness IL is for these the exposition has been build ed. it is these again that have made the exposition possible The lesson they teach is written deep in the his tory of the nation.
 To attempt an itemized description ef the wonders this exposition has brought to the doors of the people oi the central west is impossible in the space of a newspaper article. Twelve thousand car loads of exhibits found space within the great palaces It i' almost impossible 10 realize what sucf a statement means until one has gone from building to building, from ex l hibit to exhibit.

pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House hold Against Catarrhal
 Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is our changeable climate. To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible.
 Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the frequency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow.
 Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold.
 There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna always stays, No home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
