MONKEYS PROVE
MEDICAL THEORY
Open Air Treatment By Gentry
Brothers Saves Simians
From Ravages of
White Plague.
In the evolution of medicine
and surgerythe masters of these
professions have resorted to the
use of the lower animals in mak
ing tests by which the human
family profits. The rabbit and
the guinea pig are the lower ani
mals in which the heart action is
closest to that of the human be
ing.
The monkey tribe, however, is
the family in which the action
of the lungs is closest to that of
man. Monkeys are particularly
subject to pulmonary tuberculo
sis, or in plain language, con
sumption. Among monkeys the
deadly white plague reaps its toll
almost without resistance.
Several years ago the medical
world evolved the theory that
open air was the surest prevent
ative for tuberculosis of the
lungs. This scientific disclosure
was quickly caught up by the
Gentry Brothers, proprietors
and owners of Gentry Brothers’
All New Feature Shows. To
them it meant much.
Conducting a trained animal
exhibition, that has arisen to the
apex of fame, Gentry Brothers
used monkeys. The loss among
the simians from tuberculosis
was appalling. When the fresh
air treatment was expounded
Gentry Brothers decided upon
drastic moves. They decreed
that monkeys for all time should
live in the open air
Following this decision came a
most remarkable demon
of how nature provides for her
own. Nature soon provided t he
simians, destined to open air in
a northern winter, with heavier
coats of hair. These coats were
heavier than any ever before
seen on monkeys. The monkeys
were left in open air all the year,
their only protection being a dry
goods box. Since then Gentry
Brothers have lost but two mon
keys, whereas twenty-five was
the usual toll of the plague hi
winter.
The monkeys, strangely
enough, welcome their new mode
of living. All summer they are
left in unconfined spaces. In
winter they are offered only
enough protection to break the
wintry winds- The result is that
the simians are acclimated, there
is no tuberculosis among them,
and the only troupe of year
round open air monkeys in the
world are with Gentry Brothers
All New Feature Shows which
will be in this city Saturday,
September 20. (Adv.)

SHOWING IN 1913 WILL COMPRISE j
WINNERS FROM OTHER BIG
EXPOSITIONS.
___
Management Is Gratified at the Pres,
pects for the Biggest Showing in j
History of c'air.
I here will lie some big special
ieiitnrcs at the 1913 stock exhibit at
the State Fair, which will he on n
greater and grander scale than ever.
Oil' ul these features will be t lit*
exhibition lor the first time in the
South of a herd of Dutah belted cattle.
These remarkable animals were zeal
ously guarded b> the Holland govern
ment for centuric s and il is only wiili
in vit) recent years that any of them
have been exported from that country.
It seems right that lliis exhibit
should be made by an Arkansan and
the herd promises to attract more
than statewide attention, as the
breeders of the country regard this
strain of (he bovine as the coming
combination beef and dairy cattle.
The Live Slock Department of the
1PI3 fair will surpass in size and qual
ity of exhibit and in importance to
the people of the state any former ex
hihii of live slock in Arkansas. This
was evidenced by the fact that the
national breeders’ association in all
classes of animals have given the Ark
ansas State Fair full recognition this
fear and have offered the national as
sociation premiums for prize winners.
It is only at the greatest state fairs of
the country that, such recognition is
accorded, and with the year 1913 the
Arkansas exposition steps into its
fairs of the country.
This means much to the farmers,
the dairymen and slock breeders of
Arkansas. At I lie fair will be shown
the pick and choice of the great
herds, pens and stables of the country.
Here they will have an opportunity to
study (he different breeds of stock and
determine for themselves what line of
breeding is best adapted to the cli
mate and conditions of Arkansas, and
which breed will bring them the great
est profit.
Tlie caMIe breeders of Texas, Okla
homa, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee
and many Northern and Eastern states
have been entered for competition,
while the most prominent breeders of
horses, swine and sheep from every
section will lie at the fair with their
blue ribbon winners.
In the rattle department will be
seen Dutch Belted, Shorthorns, ITere
l’ords, Jerseys, Holstedns, Aberdeen
Angus and Brown Swiss; in the swine
department the always popular Duroc
.Terseys, Poland Chinas, Berkshire*,
Yorkshires and Tamworths; in the
sheep pens the Cotswold, Southdowns,
Shropshires, Oxford Downs and Meri
nos, and in the goat pens the native
goats and the Angoras. Every class
lot' draft, driving and saddle horse will
| be seen in the arena and at the horse
show.
The farmers of Arkansas will find
the coming fair the greatest showing
of live stock and the best opportunity
to see and study the different classes
that has ever been offered the people
of the state.
To meet the, demand for more ex
tensive entries the management is al
ready providing additional faeilities
for housing and showing the live stock,,
and both breeders and visitors wiil
j find at Oaklawn park the greatest
I live stock arena to be found in the
South.
Live Stock Parade Daily.
On every exhibition day of !he fair
there will be a big parade of show an
imals of all classes. Blue ribbon win
ners from dozens of other fairs will
be in line, decorated with the ribbons
and premium badges they have won,
and the spectacle will be one to de
light the visitor who is a lover of do
mestic animals.
The inangement of the fair assures
exhibitors of live stock that there is
an ample supply of pure water from a
waterworks system permeating all sec
tions of the fair grounds. Feed of
all kinds, the highest class, can be
obtained at sale stations right on the
grounds and convenient to stables and
pens, all sold at the prevailing market
price.
The apiary department of 1he state
fair is growing in interest each year,
largely through the untiring efforts of
the A. I. Foot Company, of Medina,
fdiio, who have made annual exhibits |
and offered special premiums to the
bee culturists of the state.
The educational department will
again be under the efficient supervis
ion of George B. Cook, state superin
tendent of education. There are some
big new special features in this line,
including some special scholarships as
awards for the best endeavor among
the school pupils of the state.

Owing to the indications of a mam
moth exhibit in Hie poultry depart
ment, the fair management has this
year been compelled to increase the
facilities in the poultry exhibit hall,
which was already the finest in the
South. This year accommodation will
be furnished for no less than 5,-000
head of poultry and pet stock.
OF PROSPERITY"
THAT IS WHAT THE 1913 ARKAN-j
SA3 FAIR IS BEING DE
SIGNED TO BE.
Arkansas Has at Last Awakened to !
the Importance of the Big State
I nstitutlon.
If has required eight years of steady
toil and expense to convince tile pee
pie of Arkansas that the Arkansas
State Fair is really a big state iusti
; lit ion, promoted and maintained for
the benefit of the whole statu and not
for any particular section.
In the past year the people of Ark
ansas have attended the fall exposi
'ions and have personally approved the
fair, but it was not until the season ol
If 13, that Arkansas really awakened to
the fact that their co-operation was
needed along other lines than merely
.is visitors to the state fair: that they
must join their interests with the oth
ei exhibitors and make themselves in
reality a part of this big exposition of
the resources and wealtli of Arkansas,
as well us spectators.
In lfl2 there was a creditable show
ing of the different counties of the
state and agricultural hall contained
many splendid exhibits from the far
mers and business people of these
counties. The interest shown in these
county and state exhibits was given
the desired impetus during that fall,
and this year nearly every county in
the state will be represented either in
a collective exhibit or by showings
from individuals and companies.
With this co-operation in evidence
there can no longer be any doubt as
to the annual success and growth of
the state fair. The generous people
of Hot Springs have paid their money
year after year to support the annual
exhibit, but the spirit, of co-operation
has been needed all along to aid them
in their well meant efforts to promote
and advertise to the world the great
ness of Arkansas, her matchless re
sources, her need of further develop
ment, and the great wealth of oppor
tunity for settlers, manufacturers and
promoters to improve and intensify the
output, of both commercial and agrl
cultural products.
This year Arkansans are with the
fair, heart and soul, and it is a fore
gone conclusion that the exposition
this year will be the greatest showing
of Arkansas products ever brought to
gether at any place or at any time.
The counties of the state are ex
pected to completely occupy the big
agricultural hall with their exhibits
and their competition to win the splen
did list of eight prizes offered for the
best county exhibits. Last year Faulk
ner county carried off first honors, but
this year there are a score or more of
counties which expect to run Faulkner
a hard race for premier honors at the
fair.
' It is this spirit of co-operation and
good natured competition to produce
and show the best that will make the
fair the great institution it should be,
and when the farmers of the state fair
have brought the fair to this state of
perfection, they have at the same time
brought the agricultural resources of
the state to a much higher standard
of excellence and profit to the men
who till the soil.
This is (lie one big purpose of the
state fair—to stimulate the people of
Arkansas to their best efforts, and in
cidentally to increase their profits and
earnings in the same degree that they
increase the excellence of the products.
So the state fair is not a selfish in
stitution, promoted and fostered for
private gain, but to increase the great
ness of Arkansas through the one
great medium that other and more ad
vanced states have adopted to their
universal credit.
The 1913 fair, October 27 to Xovem
her l inclusive, is going to be the
"Show Window of Arkansas’ Progress
and Prosperity.” Every exhibit placed
there will add to the aggregate of the
quantity and the excellence of the qual
ity of Arkansas products, and in the
end the farmer and business man, and
not the state fair management, will be
the gainer.
REFRESHMENT STANDS.
No city in the state is provided witli
as many first class eating houses as is
Hot Springs, but for those who desire
to spend the entire day at the fair
grounds the management has provided
a number of first-class restaurants
and lunch stands, as well as every de
scription of refreshment stands, for
the accommodation of those who de
sire to remain at the grounds during
the day. Restrooms for the ladies,
with cool and shady spots distributed
throughout the grounds, enable every
one to attend the fair with every com
fort and convenience provided.
SPECIAL RACING FEATURES.
Oaklawn lace track will be at its
best for state fair facing week. A big
program of races has been provided,
with six speed contests every day -
three harness and three running
events. Two big purses have been of
fered for free-for-all pacing and trot
ting events open to the world with a
late closing date, and some of the fast
est and best «,f the 1918 big circuit
performers will contest for them.
There are many other classes with
special features added, and the raveM
will be the best ever.
