depressing TO look upon, but certainly
not so depressing as the real which
may sometime be faced by the par
ent but when once faced II will not
be so dreadful after learning 1t in the
picture form and along with Il some
knowledge OF what II Is and how II is
to be presented and how treated. The

spect TO maintaining health and

The mosquito lesson, the fly lesson.
the dietary lessons. the sanitary les
sons in general revealed in the
Child's Welfare Building. II observed
and taken to heart, will mean hap
piness, ability to enjoy life and DO
good work where otherwise distress
and loss would come
What can be accomplished in the
Piedmont country by turning a little

a turbine is practically demonstrated
In way by which many farmers may

premises, electricity for the churn,
the thresher the feed cutter, the
vacuum cleaner, the washing ma

Exposition Is Remarkable.
The exposition is a really remark
able one IN every respect. Emphas iz-
ing as It does one great practical
thought-conservatton-it is more IF
the ideal exposition than any vet
held in this country. The stranger
is greatly surprised at the magnitude
OF the exposition. He did not expect

which stand out startling. alarming
and impressive TO the limit OF how
to save and how to protect, how to
live better happier. longer. how to
make the most of resources and, last

none have been so intensely practical
and helpful.
