some of the authorizations that are

And part of this is the fight on the
fly. Listen to the baldheaded men
applaud. The flies are germ carriers
and the habit that they have got of
tickling their feet on lettuce leaves is
to be abhorred, says the state board of
health-and they ought to know
In all earnestness the booth which
is termed the Educational food
exhibit of the state board of health,

ing as well as instructive that ever
took space at the Midwinter.
The enterprising way in which they
are calling the attention of the people
to the necessity of looking after what
they eat is certainly worthy of consid-
cradle commentator.
And here is another sign that stares
you in the face at the booth: Read
the labels on all food and drug products

The management Of the Midwinter
exposition is making every effort to
have the entire exposition SO attrac-
tive as to insure large attendance
from the day that the doors open. Here
tofore the attendance has been greater
the second week than it has the first.
This is doubtless due in a great degree
to the fact that everybody that attends
the first week sounds it's praises and
thereby induces others to attend. There
are advantages in attending early while
the decorations and exhibits are fresh
and bright. A more equal division of
the crowd over the two weeks will make
1t more comforta BILE and enjoyable for
all. One of the inducements that the
management will offer to those who at
tend the first week will be a very eXcep-
tional vaudeville program. The acts
that have been engaged for the bill are
of a very high class of an order that
is calculated to please everyone.

possible. Riding a unicycle upon a seat
eight feet from the floor is only one of
the many difficult stunts. There is a
lot of comedy in connection with their
work that makes it laughab1e as well
as startling.
The Pirris present an equilibrist act

number of chin balancing feats that
are amazing. The balancing of heavy
wagon wheels and plows upon the chin
is performed with an ease that makes
it appear but a diversion. Antonio
