The opening OF the Panama canal

world, but 1t will mark supreme

ately the visitor will see in the ex-

The reconstruction of San Francisco
is one of the greatest miracles within
the history of American municipalities.
Five hundred and eight city blocks,
embracing the principal business and
residential portions of the city, were
wiped from the earth in 1906. The
streets were covered in some places
with debris forty feet deep, yet today
a stranger to the city would never
know from it's appearance that fire
had occurred.
The loss through the fire is estimated
by insurance underwriters at 100000
600. TO reconstruct San Francisco
called for greater wealth than was de-
stroyed by the fire and far exceeded
the cost of building the Panama canal
Since the fire $242, 100000 has been ex-
pended upon new buildings alone
Today San Francisco is the newest
city in the world Its buildings rep
resent the latest type of modern re-
enforced concrete structures. 1t has
more than 1900 hotels and apartment
houses. with accommodations to suit
all persons.
In preparing for the Panama Pacific
international exposition hundreds Of
its emissaries are visiting all the re-
gions of the world. Fourteen COVER

the shore from the harbor out to and
beyond the Golden Gate. The struc-
lures will be the largest and costliest
ever erected for n worlds exposition.
The two principal locations of the ex-
position will be at Harbor View and
In Golden Gate park. Harbor View
lies as crescent on San Francisco
bay midway between the ferry build
ing, the principal entrance to San
Francisco, and the Golden Gate. Gold
en- Gate park fronts the Pacific ocean
one mile below the famous Cliff House.
These two main sites and intermediate
locations will be connected by ma
rine boulevard that will skirt the
shores Of San Francisco bay and also
by an intermural railroad. A trackless
trolley will run over the boulevard.
Harbor View is within twenty min
utes' walk of the Fairmont hotel and
the most extensive apartment house
section Of San Francisco.
At Harbor View will be located
yacht harbor, the Midway and night
life Of the exposition and many con-
cessions that lend themselves to night
Examinations as well as great build
ings to house such heavy exhibits as
may be readily unloaded from ocean
going vessels, such as the structures
to contain the manufactures and ma
chinery exhibits, the Palace of Liberal
Arts and other industrial features.
Golden Gate park will be the seat of
the permanent features Of the EXPOSE
ton. With an area of more than a
thousand acres Golden Gate park, for
ested and created of sand dunes, today
presents one Of the most notable
achievements in landscape gardening
In the world. The west end of Golden
Gate park. comprising $40 acres. will
be utilized for exposition purposes.
Around II great stadium, nlready built,
will be erected II huge concrete coli
scum, the largest structure Of its kind
in America, capable of seating 10000

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads in Advanced Leeis-

Of tuberculosis.

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, if not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down By the state board
OF health concerning the prevention Of
their disease, and thus become a men
ace to the health OF those with whom
they associate. shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed. he may be
isolated or separated from other per
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pre-
Yides that al lcounties in the state
Of New Jersey shall within six zaoH tbs
from April fst make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care OF all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will SUB
sidizs each county to the extent of
$500 z week for each person natR-
tanned in these institutions. except
those who are able to pay for thu cost
Of maintenance.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and, run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when removed his
shirt.
we tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, jan %, 1911 Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear of a farm
house near by. closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued a
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
of the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on! He won't hurt you!"
