TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR

For more than a generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruf, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfgured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book On the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston.

WEDNESDAY CROWD
STILL A LIVE TOPIC
OF $4,000 RE-
GARDED AS ABOUT CORRECT.
RECORD MIDWAY BUSI-
NESS.

Out al the fair grounds yesterday
the chief topic of conversation was
the record breaking attendance of
Observation-Disclosures day. Officers
OF the Fair association still stuck to
their estimate of $4,000, but it was
the general belief of those who have
kept tab ON fair crowds. that this
was too high. The record of the
street car company shows that $4,000
persons were transported to the
grounds. Taking into account the
thousands who walked and Journeyed
10 the grounds in automobiles. these
wiseacres place at the maximum at
tendance Wednesday at $1,000, and
say that is a liberal estimate.
The record attendance last year
and that was noted on Richmond
day-was 10000, and That vas the
biggest crowd that ever gathered in
Richmond. The estimate given the
newspapers at that time was $1,000.
so that the estimate Of $1,000 this
time seems to be pretty nearly cor
rect.
1t was some crowd--there no
doubt about that--and nciSier fair
officials nor citizens have ceased to
wonder how this great mass of hn-
manity was handled so beautifully,
