EXTENSIVE PLANS
 FOR EXHIBITION

London, January 7.-(Specal.)-The ex- hibition at Turin, which will be opened by the King of Italy on April 20, next will be situated on the outskirts of the city on both sides of the River Pc at a point where it fiogs through narrow valley AS the river here is very shal- low it has been deepened by dredging and the level of the water raised by means of dams, so that a service of motor boats may be established and nautical displays take place. There being only one perma- nent bridge at this point, others are be- ing constructed, of which the largest will have two surfaces, one for moving plat forms and one for pedestrians The ex- hibition will be one of the largest vet held, its area being about 1000, 600 square metres, of which 2S0,00O square metres will be covered. The British section of which a handsome model may be seen at the exhibition department of the board of trade is finely situated on the town side of the river in the Valentine park and near the mediaeval castle and village, which have long formed one of the chief attractions of Turin. It was a highly decorated facade flanked on each side by gallaries with colonnades. The frontage is surmounted by the large dome of the central hall. Immediately in front are fountains and gardens sloping down to the Pc. Adjoining this section Is the spacious machinery hall Immediately on the other side of the river is a prac- tically uninterrupted line a mile and half in length, are the pavilions, each of distinctive architecture, of the United States, Germany. France, Belgium and the South American republics. Wood Is being used extensively in the construction of the buildings, and as result of the fire at the Brussels exhibition, special safeguards are being introduced which, it is believed, will reduce the risk of se- rious confiagration almost to vanishing point

met in the school room attached to my church, and I tell you they were wonder full meetings
 Time was when I wouldn't give the pledge to a drunken man. Now l will, and gladly. Some of the truest men I have took the pledge when they were drunk. And what time we had. Every man who took my pledge went out to catch his pal and bring him In, and if his pal was a drunken blackguard so much the better.
 "A fellow minister" he concluded, went into a workingman's cottage in small town In County Down, and he said to the good woman: What does all this talk about "catch-my-pal'' mean?'
 There's what it means, said she, pointing to a big dish of meat on the table. It means that we have meat every day instead of bones once week."

 In recent weeks the question of the unsuitability of the present fashion In huge hats to church wear has cropped up in various quarters and the monstrous millinery of the moment has been de- nounced from the pulpits of cathedral and conventce alike, as abstracting to the preacher and a intolerance to the congre- gation. The Bishop of Salford, England in his message to the Catholic Fedora tion, has taken up the subject with vigor, and says: "The extravagant hat of the present day is both unbecoming and in- convenient in church. Why not the mantilla- Surely nothing can be more suitable, more becoming to a woman in church than the neat black veil worn in Spain and Italy. Every woman who has an audience of the Holy Father has to wear 1t. Ladies think nothing of going In the streets or trans to entertainments In evening dress with a slight shawl or veil, and nobody remarks it."

The garde cham petro consulted with the baker, with the result that they offered him drinks to hu- nor him, joining him in quaffing the liquid.

Another Wonderful Discovery.

Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed inn
possible a few years ago. But
it seems there is nothing so i'm
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of ac-
complishment. Prof. Emerson
has now discovered a preparation
which will really grow hair.
Iowa people are amazed and as
founded by Emerson's new dis
covery for the hair. Emerson
said that one bottle Of his new
discovery would grow a full
head of hair to its natural color.
The people did not believe him.
1t was too much to expect and
too good to be true. They had
tried all the highly advertised
hair restorers and had always
been disappointed and they could
not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head of hair.
But now comes the most start
ling part of all-for Emerson
proved it-yes, absolutely proved
it. What do you think he didi
He made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the
unheard of offer, but they knew
that Emerson was financially re-
Sponsible and would do as he
agreed if it cost him his fortune.
Thousands bought bottles of his
new discovery, though most of
them had little faith and expect
ed TO be paid five dollars for us
ing the bottle of new discovery.
Tout of the first thousand bottles
sold only seven claimed they were
not entirely satisfied, and they
Immediately received the five
dollars without question. The
rest Of them were overjoyed to
find that EmersOn's new Discov-
cry had really promoted a new
and healthy growth of hair. What
is this remarkable new discoyeryY
Emerson won't tell, and chemists
have tried to analyze it and have
failed to find out what it is. EN-
erson asks us to publish this same
offer TO the readers Of this paper.
HE states that with every bottle
1of his new discovery, the price Of
which is 81, he viii send a
written agreement to pay you
five dollags if you are not en-
tirely satisfied with the result
which is invariably a new head
Of healthy, vigorous hair. The
new discovery is not sticky, oily
or greasy and is very pleasant to
use. This is the most remarkabl
offer ever made by a responsible
