That is the one big mistake in the

each other. They meet in business

Brown, you will find that they know

THE SUPREME COURTS PURE
FOOD DECISION.

Scientific American: While the de
cision of the Supreme Court in tn
bleached -four case will probabl,
prove a bitter disappointment to many
it was a decision that must have beer
expected by those who have closel!
| followed the wrangles to which the
pure food law has given rise. The Re
| feroee Board has shown beyond the
shadow Of doubt (and the expert
ments conducted by eX-parte investiga
tors in Europe and America confirm its
| findings) that very small quantities OF
injurious substances have no harmful
effect.
AS we understand it, the decision by
no means goes so far as to hold that
| food which is unfit for human con.
sumption may be treated with harm
less proportions of injurious chemicals
in order to- make it marketable. 1t
does however throw upon the Bureau
of Chemistry the task of proving con.
clusively that a questionable food is
so noXious that it's sale should be for
hidden.
In these days of the high cost of
living a food manufacturer of honest
intentions should not be too greatly
hampered in his effort to place a
wholesome product upon the market
at reasonable price. To be sure, the
question of wholesomeHess may give
rise to hot controversy; but it is for
the very settlement of these questions
that the Bureau of Chemistry and the
Referee Board exist.
That the Bureau is now doing its
work competently and adequately we
are convinced. The bleached flour
case must be regarded as a heritage
from a time when the physiological
findings of the Bureau were not all
that could be desired, and the decision
is not to be considered as reflection
upon the present personnel of the Bur-
eau. No doubt the decision will have
the effect of Increasing the Bureaus
work. More analysts will probably
have to engage, and more stations for
the examination of food products es-
tablished. Congress has been exceed
ingly generous in it's appropriations
for the Bureaus work, and there is no
reason to suppose that it will be any
less liberal in the future than it has
been in the past Surely the task of
guarding whole nations health is so
important that Congress will not spare
any expense in attacking it properly.

of the ladies requested the Times Re-

the local lodge, the city and others that
it is hoped that the above may serve
that purpose.

A STARTLING STORY.
(COntributed.)

Just as the constant dripping of wa
ter will wear away the hardest rock
so will persistent repetition Of sound
truth eventually overcome the gross
est error. Thus is true whether the ap-
plication relates to political, moral, re-
ligious, industrial or agricultural &C.
tivities and it is with particular re-
ference to the latter industry, so far
as the state Of North Dakota is con-
cerned, that these few remarks are
set down.
For many years this state has been
looked upon as the foremost wheat
producing state of this great Union
and for the same length of time it's
propaganda and literature made public
for the purpose of attracting further
settlement has specialized along this
line, until the thought has become
crystaliZed in the public mind. to the
extent that the name of Bread Basket
Of the World" has been given to a
large part Of our agricultural territory,
as sort Of subtitle of distinction
among the great crop raising areas of
the globe.
That this was, and is, meritorius
reputation, so far as l. indicates cour.
age and initiative years ago on the
part Of those hardy pioneers who de.
monstrated the splendid fertility of our
prairie lands, is undoubtedly true. L

period Of decadence. The conception
was to tell this story in the portals
through which millions OF visitors In
1915 will pass.
This conception has been more or less
adhered to in the execution, although
the immense cost it entailed necessi-
tated the curtailment of the history in
some of it's phases. When it is realized
that more than 100000 has been spent
alone in the modelling and construction
Of portals it may be conceived how
earnest has been the effort to make
this one phase alone a monument to the
art of architecture, past and present.
It's Memory Linsers Long.
Approaching the Exposition from
Fillmore street, one of the first of these
portals to be seen is that leading with
in the Palace Of Varied Industries on
the south side. In its modelling and the
rich coIoring that has been superim-
posed it is a piece of art to catch the
eye and hold the attention. Its mem
DRY fingers long and wildly.
This portal alone cost more than $40,
600. 1t is a modified reproduction OF
an entrance to the hospital at Santa
Cruz, Spain. 1t is of the Spanish rem
aissance period and cathedral-li5e in
it's appearance. Blues. browns and
reds of the Exposition color scheme,
according to the artists familiar with
the original, enhance the replica even
more than the portal at Santa Cruz.
which is devoid of coloring.
This entrance is also much larger
than the original, and the inches are
occupied with modern figures instead of
saints, common to ecclesiastical archi-
lecture. especially of Spanish influence.
The figures are those Of miner in
various poses, striking and lifelike.
The tympanum consists Of a group OF
Ave figures representing as many in
dustries. This, together with the fig
ures Of the miner, is the work of Ralph
Stackpole.
Passing down the Avenue of Progress
between the high buttressed walls of
the Palace of Varied Industries and
Mines on the one side and the Palace
of Machinery on the other, one is en-
veloped in an atmosphere of Roman
architecture The portals on this side
Of Varied Industries and Mines are the
Roman expression Of the Italian rem

, colors of the far east inject an element
| of emotion to counterfeit the Roman Sc
verify.
Proceeding down toward the water
front and the esplanade, n view Of the
entire northern facade is obtained
Here the Spanish renaissance is again
| encountered in the north portals OF
Mines, Transportation. Agriculture and
Food Products. The entrances are very
ornate and elaborate.
An element of the Gothic influence is
discernible. Heroic figures of "A pirate
in the center and two Spanish buc-
cancers on either side, bowleCged and
primitive, are the decorative features
in the way of statuary.
Traversing the half mile of the walled
city on the north, one leaves the bay
and follows the walls in a southery di =
rection. Here again is the Roman in
fiuence, of a different period perhaps,
reflected in the great half dome en-
frances Of the Palace of Food Products
and Education. They suggest the half
domes of the Baths of Caracalla, where
the Romans in the olden days used to
bask in the cool shadows cast by those
portals in the heat OF midday. The
sweep of these arches is approximately
135 feet supported by heavy columns
of mottled marble rich in soft Colorings
the South Gardens, but from the west
ern extremity. These are typically
French, the motif being in harmony
with the Palace of Horticulture and
Festival Hall, situated in the southern
part Of the gardens. Opposite these
buildings are the southern facades Of
the walled city proper. the Palace of
Education, Liberal Arts and Varied In
dustries, the latter having already been
noted.
Like Olde7 Time Portals.
The southern portal OF Education is
pure Roman, while those of Manufac-
ture and Liberal Arts are of more or
less modified Roman architecture.
They are high and square, projecting
beyond the face of the building, and
have a suggestion of a beetling red
tiled roof. These again are strikingly
suggestive of the portals of the olden
cities.
With this the visitor has made but
tour of the outer wall and studied only
the main portals. There are countless
others, almost equally interesting,
opening into the different courts and
into the main axis. All form a study of
perhaps as high an educational value ,
as anything that will be found in the
Palace of Fine Arts.

Passing down the slopes one comes
quickly to within the very shadows of
the walled city of 1915 and enters
within the magic pale. One is i'm
mediately impressed with the compact
ness and unity of the whole. The
walled city proper consists of eight
large palaces, all interrelated through
the medium of courts, respondent with
shrubbery, flowers, sparkling fountains
and statuary.
These great structures extend for
more than half a mile in oblong form
along the bay shore. Standing apart
from these to the east is Machinery
Palace, the largest of the Exposition
buildings. extending the entire width of
the walled city. To the south, just
across from the beautiful South Gar
dens, are the Palace of Horticulture
and Festival Hall. To the west is the
Palace of Fine Arts, sweeping in a
great arch, with a tropical lagoon in the
foreground. separating this structure
from the west wall of the inner city.
Back to Classic Rome.
When the old padres started on their
northward wanderings through Cali
fornia, carrying their f1ickering torch of
civilization, they brought to the natives.
among other things, their conception of
the art of architecture. They builded
thickly of adobe clay and rooted their
structures with crude, handmade tiles.
This is one Of the many themes to be
found blended tremendously in the
scheme of things in this city beautiful.
The walls are heavy and strong. In

OF old Rome and brought here to all in

such as is found in the QuarrieS just
outside of Rome and still seen in many
OF the old ruins in Italy. In this way
has been blended the classic of the old
world with the romantic of the new
world.

~ ONJURED from the misty ages
of the past when beauty ana
a loneliness reigned supreme and
uglinesS was unCOnCeived. a
walled city, heavily buttressed,
with wide spreading portals, massive
and stanch, has risen on the south
shores of San Francisco bay just with
in the Golden Gate. Nature with kind
ly hands has overgrown the walls with
trees and clinging vines, sheltering the
magic city under a romantic sheen of
green foliage.
1t is in this walled city within city
that San Francisco and California are
preparing the setting for a world pag
cant in 1915, the Panama Pacific Inter
national Exposition, a pageant Cele-
brating what is recognized as the
greatest physical achievement today
the completion Of the Panama canal.
Planned by Master Minds.
To the visitor who passes within the
walls of this city of beauty in archi-
lecture and coloring and design it
seems indeed fitting that this Celebra-
ton of the greatest of all accomplish
ments of the science of the twentieth
century should be linked with all the
grandeur of the arts of the past ages
when they were at the apex of their
development. Such is the case, and so
II was planned by the master minds
that created this dream of the city of
the past.
Thousands of visitors daily visit
the Exposition grounds, where for
several months all but one of the main
palaces have been completed and ready
for the reception of displays. The
sightseers so in street cars in private
parties and In "rubberneck' wagons,
amusement bent, and they return seri-
Gus and impressed with the feeling OF
a near presence of greatness.
There is no festal note within this
walled city; there is nothing suggestive
Of the carnival or tinsel show. Its dig
nifty and nobility are discernible from
the hills in the background, where one
looks down upon clustered blue domed
buildings shimmering in the bright
sunlight along the shores OF beautiful
San Francisco bay.

Of grandeur of yesterday steam the
powerful transpacific liners, to disap-
pear out through the Golden Gate, ORR

ously plow through the waters in the
opposite direction from the four COR

their long voyage. Crowded ferryboats
waddls back and forth between the
cities on both sides of the bay like
squat, ungainly waterfowls.
Beyond the white crested waves rise
the hills of Marin county on the farther
