ST. LOUIS FAIR REVIVED
THE LESLIE e. KELLEY CO
DWIGHT, ILLINOIS

The old st. Louis fair which won
fame and prominence and was known
in all parts of the United States, will
be outdone by the revived fair which
will be held at st. Louis, Sept. % to %.
There will be no comparison between
the fair and the new. The new st.
Louis fair out on the st. Charles rock
road will excel in outdoor events.
All the events have been planned
to exceed any similar event held here
both in the size and quality of per
Torrance. ST. Louis has held some
large racing meets. but the program
in this line for fair week has not been
matched by reference to the past.
There will be running events every
day in addition to the daily harness
meet. On big Thursday the running,
trotting and special races are so mum
erous, fair officials are now beginning
to wonder If all can be run in the sin
gle afternoon before darkness halts
the program.
The fair opens Monday morning and
children accompanied by their parents
or guardians will be admitted to the
grounds free. Mothers who have bah
| les entered in the baby show in thai
day will also be admitted free. 1t will
| be mothers congress and governors
day. Governors from other states will
attend as we'll as Governor Hadley Of

will be new to this section. Manager
Murphy has refused to sign contracts
for stale shows. He says he wants
it understood he is not running cir

Every modern convenience for max
ing a visit TO the fair comfortable will
be found on the grounds. If you do
not bring your lunch basket there
will be plenty of places to get lunch
or a full meal without being held up
for high prices.
OF the 100000 tickets issued for big
Thursday, little more than 10000 re-
main unsold and no more will be is
sued. If you are disappointed in get
ting tickets for the big events there
will be many more for other days. The
sale of tickets for big Thursday will
close Sept. 10, if the tickets last that
long None will be sold after that
date unless some remain to be sold at
the gate for 81 on the day of the big
events.

Result of ''The Kelley Cure"

The effect of the Kelley remedies is to
absolutely destroy the craving and appe-
tite for drink. The man who takes the
Kelley treatment is no longer called on to
fight an appetite. The desire and neces-
sity for alcohol is gone.
And the cure-lasfs! Hear what men
say who have been saved:
This is the twentieth anniversary of my
reincarnation and release from the bondage
of the Demon Rum. Completely cured-the
occursed appetite never to return"
81 took the cure twelve years ago--Drink
is no longer any temptation to ur."
This is the eighteenth anniversary of my
graduation at Dwight. No matter what rises
never think of whiskey."
words cannot express what feel in my
soul for the Godgiveu saving institute at
Dwight, Ill. l E1Ven't the least desire for
drink any more than if had never tasted
it."

.HARBOR CLANS
AND OYSTERS
TO BE BARRED

New Haven, March 1S-Two impor-
tant regulations, one forbidding the
sale of CLAIMS and oysters taken from
the waters of the upper harbor and
the other ordering that all receptacles
containing rain or stagnant water be
screened so as to prevent the breed
ing of mosquitoes, were passed by the
board of health yesterday afternoon.
The new regulation concerning
CLAIMS reads as follows:
mo person shall sell, offer or ex-
pose for sale or consumption any
CLAIMS of any description or oysters
that have been taken from any part
of the harbor of New Haven or it's
tributaries, between a line continuous
with the northerly limits of the city
of New Haven and line from the
western extremity of Fort Hale park
and the eastern angle of the jetty
nor any CLAIMS or oyster that have
been stored in such a manner as to
be subject to contamination from
said waters"
The health board has found that
the whole bottom Of the harbor is
polluted by the sewage from the sew
-ers, which empty into it and believe
that all the oysters and CLAIMS grown
there are infected with disease germs.
