Minnes0ta's Great Fair

In making your plans for the next
month you can hardly afford to
overlook the fact that the Minnesota
state fair, the greatest show of its
kind on the continent. will take
place at Hamline Aug 81 to Sept. 5.
and that it will be bigger and better
than ever before. 49,
There is no need of exaggeration
in describing the Minnesota state
fair. 1t is credit to the North
Star state that it should have the
best state fair in the country, and
this fact is generally conceded. But
one other agricultural fair in America
even approaches it, and that is the
Toronto show, which it is necessary
to assign to second place. .-.s%
The fair is truly representative of
the whole state, of all its people, of
all it's industries and of all its
resources. It has always been that,
but this year, under the initiative of
c.. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it
will be bigger and more entertain
ing exhibit than it has ever been
before. Because this is the semi
centennial Of statehood special effort
has been made, and the result is
certain to be truly marvellous
exposition of Minnesota's vast
wealth and progress.
The state fair has always had the
liberal support of the people of
Minnesota, and this will furnish no
exception to the rule. It deserves
popular support, but state pride
alone would not provide it; its sup
port comes because it is worth
patronizing, and because it is not
only instructive but vastly enter
tanning.

JOINT COMMITTEE ON FOOD
STANDARDS.

The following preamble and reso-
luton were adopted by the Joint Com
mittee on Food Standards at the meet
ing held in Chicago, January 30 to
February 6, 1908:
Whereas, The Joint Committee on
Food Standards of the Association or
Official Agricultural Chemists and the
Association of State and National
Food and Dairy Departments at it's
meeting at Louisville, December IL,
1905, upon further consideration of the
subject of condensed milk, adopted the
following resolution:
"That the subject of suggested
changes in condensed milk standards
be left open for future consideration,
pending further investigation and that
the Secretary of Agriculture be re-
quested not to enforce the present
standard in respect to total solids in
cases where the solids are below %
per cent"
Resolved, That the above resolution
be and hereby is reaffirmed with the
recommendation that, pending further
Investigations, the various state au-
thortiies do not enforce the aforesaid
standard in respect to total solids
where the milk-fat found in condensed
milk is not less than seven and seven
tenths CID per cent, and that the
Chairman of this Committee be in
structed to send copies of this vote to
all officials charged with the enforce
ment of food laws in the several states.

A changed Programme Brings No !Atera.
tion In Spectators Delight.

Miss Isadora Duncan, the young woman
who stepped down from a Grecian vase in
the British Museum and came to the Cri-
terion Theatre week ago last Tuesday
night with her classical dances. changed her
programme last night from Gldck's "1phi-
genie en- Aulide" to combination Of Beet
hoven and Chopin. She met with the same
generous welcome in her new bill that she
bad received in the other. There were those
who. disappointed in not seeing Sdiome.
didn't think much of the act. particularly
as there Is not thing about II, either In
costume or movement that could be called
suggestive
But these few were lost In the rush along
toward the end OF the evening" when the
applause became more and more hearty
And at the end Miss Duncan had to dance
three encores and then make a speech.
while most OF the people kept their seats
and positively refused to move. All in. all.
since aside from the bare fact Of her legs
there is nothing sensational about Miss
Duncans performance but only q whole
souled attempt at an artistic result. last
nights greeting at o Broadway house was q
thing to be wondered at, no matter what
one knew or thought about classical dane
Miss Duncan won ns much Through her
pleasing personality as through her rather
hard work. The little curtain speech at
the close in which she told OF her aims
and of the school she had founded in Cor
many and was supporting out OF her earn
ings on the stage so that, as she said. when
you pay y. see me dance you know you are
helping twenty little girls to learn more
about dancing than I have been able to
learn. so that you may see then, in gix years
or so.' she captured the few doubters by
her naivete.
In the first part of her present programme
Miss Duncan gave her Interpretation OF
Beethoven's symphony in F. In the second
there were mazurkas. preludes and waltzes
OF Chopin. And perhaps II was because
with her, but it did seem as Il the people
liked the second half better
