the farm for the prevention of con-
tagious diseases.
One of the most striking exhibits

intervals of thirty seconds and two and
one-half minutes. The former marks

space in its exhibit to the prevention
of typhoid fever. the hookworm dis
ease and its campaign against flies.
There are innumerable charts showing
the death rate, number of cases and
other detailed information. Special at
tention is also given to the production

AS an added precaution, second
truck was assembled in an Eastern city.
AS each part was completed here. a
duplicate was despatched to a North
crn New York town, where mechanics
assembled a second machine. If the
rarts were small. they were sent by
registered mail. If too big to ship that
way, trusted mechanics carried them
personally by train.
Similar precautions surrounded parts
manufactured in the sixty-odd fac
tories which contributed to the ma
chine. AS each part was completed 1t

an army representative who kept fac
tory officials informed OF his progress
by telegraph. No one company knows

Farm md Home Demonstration Work
Is Better Exhibit Than
Ever before.

Veterans of fairs in the past, yester-
day declared the exhibits of farm prod
ucts and home demonstration work at
the State Fair this year TO surpass
all previous exhibitions. both In size
and instructivenees. Many of the ex-
,nfbits were not completed yesterday,
because of the lateness Of their ar
rival. but everything will be ready for
the second day OF the fair. Workmen
labored through yesterday and late
last night putting on the finishing
touches.
One OF the largest exhibits in the
m-products building is that OF the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, which
covers wide scope. Extensive charts
have been made and placed on the
walls. showing the value of all crops
and many other details. while maps
have been prepared denoting the dis
tribution OF these crops In the coun-
ties of the State. Alfalfa Is given con-
siderable space in the exhibits, while
there are also many hints for raising
chickens. the storing of potatoes and
cabbage and the growing OF celery.
Nineteen counties in the State have
separate exhibits. but only a part of
these had been arranged yesterday.
Several carloads of exhibits did not
arrive until late in the afternoon. be-
cause of congcstcd railroad facilities,
but those in charge OF the county
booth said they would be completed
last night.
One side Of the building housing the
farm exhibits is devoted to the home
demonstration work. the space being
divided into twelve months. each rep
| rescnting month in the year. Spe-
cial work for each month Is outlined,
together with the most improved meth
DDS and equipment for the particular
undertaking. Poultry Is allotted TO
January. and there is displayed model
chicken houses. incubators and brood
ers. March is the month for gardens,
and there are several miniature gar.
dens displayed with various kinds of
vegetables being grown. In the sum
mer months. canning is the most i'm
portant undertaking. and SO on through
the year.
The exhibits are in charge of capable
attendants. who readily explain the
advantages of the methods adopted
and the best way for any one under
taking. There is also shown the work
OF the community canning and drying
clubs. through which agency great
quantities OF fruit was saved last sum-

FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Small Crowd Shivcrs. hut Greatly En-
Joys Night Exhibition and
Vaudeville.

magnificent fireworks display last
night closed the first day Of the
twelfth annual State Fair, and al
though the small crowd of people
gathered in the grand stand shivered.
they sat through the vaudeville acts
on the two big stages and heartily
enjoyed the fireworks. This was by
no means the smallest attraction of
the first day of the fair.
The Indictment weather conditions
kept a great many people away from
tho grounds, but despite this fact w.
C. Saunders. general manager of the
state Fair Association. announced that
the attendance was twice that of the
corresponding day last year. Mr..
Saunders was highly enthusiastic with
the way in which the first day turned
out. and stated that he had never seen
n more orderly crowd and he was con-
ddent that the attendance for the rest
of the week would eclipse that OF pre-
ytous fairs held in this city.
"Wahoo Lane" which Is generally
crowded with fair visitors following
the fireworks display, was only dotted
with n few persons bundled in over
coats and shivering with the cold
weather.

Lemon Juice is
Skin Bedutifier,
Also a Whitener

Many women use just the juice Of
lemons to bleach or whiten the skin,
but pure lemon juice is acid, therefore
irritating, and should be mixed with

At the cost OF a small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint Of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beauti
fer, by squeezing the Juice of two
fresh lemons into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white. Care
should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman knows
that lemon Juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener. smoothener and beauti-
fer.
Just try It'll Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
