GROW FAT ON TABOOED FOOD.
Poor Of London. Find Chicago's Meats
Wholesome.

London, Sept. 25.-The revolt
against Chicago canned meat is a re-
markable instance how out of evil
sometimes comes good. Bow street
police missionaries say poor people in
the east end of London are being bet
ter fed now than they were. Grocers
who were unable to get rid of their
stores of canned meat sent them to
the east end to be sold at reduced
prices. A majority of the poor people
there seldom if ever read newspapers,
or if they have known anything about
the scare they have shown they do not
trouble about it, for they have been
able to buy up the tabooed canned
meat at about one-fourth of the origi-
nal price.
Not single case of illness has re-
suited, says this police missionary. In
fact, he says, the Improvement in the
appearance of these east end poor is
surely a testimonial to the wholesome
ness of the food they are enjoying.
The only matter of concern is as to
whether these people will be able to
get more food at such prices when the
present stock is exhausted.

will place the railroad men on an

Uncle Sam Gets Busy.

Vigorous work is in progress in pre-

Spokane Fair Opens.

One Of the best things about this
years fair is the fact that accomoda-
tions for visitors can always be had by
applying to the information bureau ut
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, 519
First avenue. FIJI. Gohlke is in charge
of this work and has a long list of
rooms, which accommodating Spok ane
citizens have placed at his disposal to
be used in case the hotels, lodging
houses and ordinary rooming houses
cannot accommodate.
Manager Cosgrove is delighted with
the prospects Of this years attendance
and expects the total to far exceed that
of any other year. The capacity of the
grandstand has been doubled and &C.
commodities far more people.
Among the most popular new fea-
lures is the Home Industry building, in
charge Of Rem 81. Rice, secretary of the
$50. 900 club. No one had any idea so
many things were manufactured in
Spokane until he saw this exhibit. Mr..
Rice has something doing all the time
in his department and it is the chief
featrue of the evening show at the
grounds. He is providing an entirely
new program of vaudeville entertain.
men and music for the second week.
He has received great deal of praise
for the splendid exhibit and fine show
which he had made for the Home In
dustry exposition.
All departments of the fair are strong
this year. More live stock came than
was expected, the grade is the very
highest and more men have brought
stock to the fair this year than ever
before. Many of these never in the
past attempted to win premiums.
One of the finest departments is the
fruit exhibit, in the main building.
This is greater than ever before and
surpasses in splendid the fine showing
made in former years at the old fruit
fairs.
