HOW TO SPEND SIX DATS TO
BEST ADVANTAGE.
Suggestions Offered by Chicago Even
ing Post Writer Will Save Time,
Money and Regrets—Gives In
teresting Itinerary.
A writer in the Chicago Evening
Po3t, “L. M. McC.,” offers the follow
ing suggestions on spending a week at
the World's Fair to best advantage.
Ke say3:
Rooms at $1.25 and $1.50 a day, with
breakfast, are abundant. When land
ing at the union station, if undecided
about location, go at once to the bureau
of information in the station, where
lists of rooming-houses and small
hotels may be had. Choose a place
near the grounds if possible. If in
walking distance so much the better,
as one may be independent of crowded
cars and save car fares.
It is best to have breakfast at the
boarding-house or near by, and depend
on the restaurants of the Exposition
for luncheon and dinner. I have yet
to hear of a case of extortion, and the
restaurants in the grounds are inter
esting if one chooses wisely.
Just a word about clothes. The wise |
woman will wear a light-weight walk
ing suit, with dark waist—as pretty as
she choose in neckwear—and the man
will have a light-weight coat and get
rid oJf a heavy vest. White shirtwaists
ire a joy to womankind, but by mid- ;
day they lose their freshness and at
light they are distressing. A silk shirt- i
waist suit is not warm and just the j
thing.
MONDAY—Get a bird’s eye view.

ATHLETICS AT FAIR.
TREAT FOR LOVERS OF STRENU
OUS SPORTS AT ST. LOUIS.
Revival of Olympian Games at Expo
sition Will Present a Series of Con
tests Lasting from August
29 to September 3.
St. Louis, Aug. 15.—Lovers of the
strenuous sports from every part of
the world are gathering at St. Louis
to take part in or witness the contests
of world athletes in the Olympic games
series, beginning at the Stadium on
the World’s Fair grounds on August
23. This is the most important ath
letic event of the times and the
records made here will stand as per
manent history. .
Athens, the birthplace of these royal
sports, revived the Olympic games
eight years ago, and later at the Paris
Exposition they were r^gtoreck to their
proper dignity as a world event. Upon
the latter occasion American brawn
and muscle conquered in most of the
contests and the victories were brought
for the first time to this side of the
Atlantic.
On the World’s Fair grounds in St. !
Louis, just as they were waged in the
indent Grecian arena, these games
will be played again, Greek pitted
against his Roman foe as of old, and
Briton challenging the strength and
prowess of the American. The Indian,
the Japanese, the Filipino and half a
dozen other races will be represented
in these contests, and the winners of
the prizes will be victors indeed.
While these sports are revived from
the long ago, they are by no means to

ATTENDED BY 7,000,000
DAILY ADMISSIONS AT WORLD’S
FAIR AVERAGE 100,000.
Number of People at St. Louis Exposi
tion During First Two Weeks of
August Totals More Than En
tire Month of May.
St. Louis, Aug. 15.—From all direc
tions the tide of travel now points to
the World’s Fair, and the constantly j
increasing number of admissions en
courages the Exposition management
to believe that the attendance figures
will be up to their most hopeful esti
mate before the gates are closed on
December 1.
Sufficient evidence of the growing
popularity of the World’s Fair is pre
sented in the statement that the at
tendance for June was more than
double that for May, and that the num
ber of admissions in July was nearly
a quarter of a million in excess of the
figures for the month preceeding. On
August 2 the number of admissions
needed only a few to equal that for the
first full week of the Exposition, and
the attendance for the first week of
Pimples ?
Pimples, boils, scrofula, sores and
other disfiguring skin eruptions arise
from impure blood and why take
evil tasting doses of drug saturated
alcohol, when you can get small,
pleasant and tasteless Johnston’s
Tonic Capsules. They make pore
blood and cure skin troubles.
Johnston's Tonic Capsules ire the very best
vegetable blood medicines condensed into a small,
easily taken, taateless capsule, without alcohol.
You can carry them in a tiny boi in the pocket
and take them anywhere without attracting
notice. In them you get the condensed curatives
of true medicinal plants, roots, barks, blossoms,
leaves and fruit — the health-giving qualities
nature has stored in the products of field, swamp
and wildwood.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest,
safest, most reliable, convenient and satisfactory
medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich
the blood. They unload it of every impurity and
at the same time so promote the nutritive func
tions as to abundantly supply It with new. rich and
life-sustaining qualities. They make the blood
pure and rich, and through pure blood the bodily
structures come right, because they depend on
the blood for nourishment and renewal.
For over so years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules
have been held in high esteem as a most reliable
and satisfactory remedy for acrofula, rheuma
tism, eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels
and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, boils, liver
complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation,
kidney troubles and a long list of common ails
and ills.
We have great confidence tn this medicine; S
confidence born of many years' experience with
it, and we make the following extraordinary
jtfer: Send us a dollar for a large box of John
tton’S Tonic Capsules, or buy the same of dealer
shose name appears below, use half of them, and
f you are not satisfied, mail the balance to us and
tve will return your money. Test them at our risk

By Paracamph.,
Mr E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
itnmetflate, relief. I. have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is ■with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
rreeommed Paracamph ’ ’
jJIr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion 'which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cod
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature s plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism,.Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. tte guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
i refund your money. If your druggist don t
L handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
& If he won’t do this send direct to us.
& But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
^^only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and f 1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
I^Bauch as the 25 cent size; the *1.00 bottles
H^Vght times as much as the 25 cent size.
H The Paracamph Company Louisville,
u- s. a.
Take the Intramural train at Station
L, or at Station 17, the terminus, and.
ride all the way around, keeping both
eyes wide open for points of interest
coted on the map. Leaving the Intra
mural after the round tr*ip, walk to
ward the Grand Basin and Cascade
Fountains, identifying the buildings
ilong the way, drinking in the beauty,
resting near the music pavilion to hear
one or two numbers, studying the
Louisiana monument and finally climb
ing the Colonnade of States.
Statuary has greeted one on every
side. The artists’ names are conspi
cuous and no time is lost in taking this
walk leisurely. From the Colonnade
of States, with a map in hand, one
may pick out the large buildings and
get enduring impressions of the grand
eur of the Exposition as a whole.
A return walk may be made to the
right past the German building to the
Sunken garden and the imposing Gov
ernment building. But by all means
stay out of doors one day. Take sup
per out of doors and linger around the
Brand Basin while the lights are being
turned on. Choose a place near a band
stand and after dark take to the Pike
and keep out of doors.
TUESDAY—If one is a lover of art
devote the early hours to the galleries.
Take the Intramural to Art Palace sta
tion. Make up your mind that you
can’t see it all and spend this morning
in the east pavilion—Sweden, Ger
many, Holland, Canada, Austria. At
noon go out of doors and turn to the
left. Take lunch on some pleasant
porch along the way—a cup of tea in
Japan or Ceylon. Follow the water
ways to the Music pavilion and flower
beds and the Peace monument. If
your tastes so incline, walk through
Machinery and Transportation build
ings and perhaps the Electricity build
ing.
Spend the evening on the Pike.
WEDNESDAY—Enter the grounds
at the Administration entrance, or
via the Intramural. Visit the Aus
trian house for art and arts craft,
the finest display of its kind on the
grounds; Holland house, a reproduc
tion of an old Dutch house, with a
copy of Rembrandts Night Watch;
Sweden, a modest establishment of a
hunting club; Great Britain, with its
old English garden and trimmed shrub
bery, and rooms illustrating different
periods of English furnishing; Bel
gium, China, Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua,
Siam and Mexico and the extremely in
teresting exhibit of Belgium. France
lies just across the way—a reproduc
tion of the Grand Trianon and the
Carden of Versailles—and the little
Italian temple crowns a hilltop. Here
in a group is enough to occupy all
day. The United States life-saving ex
hibit, the Ferris wheel, the Forestry
and Fish and Game buildings are in
the same locality.
THURSDAY—Go direct to the Fine
Arts Palace and see Great Britain and
the Unite'll States pavilion. When
weary leave the Art Palace, walk to
the right, lunch at one of the out-of
door cafes, if you can afford it, in
Germany. Then visit the Palace of
Charlottenburg and spend the rest of
the day in the Education, Mines and
Government buildings. Spend the eve
ning on the Pike or in the illuminated
Palace of Fine Arts.
FRIDAY—Enter the Varied Indus
tries building and pass by degrees
through the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts buildings, and the rest of the
day on the Terrace of the States.
SATURDAY—Make a final visit to
the Art Palace, West pavilion, France
and Sculpture court. Take the Intra
mural to the Horticulture and Agri
cultural buildings. Jerusalem, the Boer
camp or the Philippines. The Indian
schools are extremely interesting and
well worth while. Of course when
near the Illinois building one should
register.
Personal taste naturally governs the
sightseeing and some not caring to
grasp the whole would map out just
the things of most interest to them.

In this great production on the Pike,
scientists, inventors, artists, mechanics

toward a common goal, “ originality.’•
Neither time nor money has been spared,

such a trip? No; then embark with met The

search lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each
side of the cabin, through the two oblong
crystal plates, separating us from the sea.
The obscurity of the cabin shows to advan
tage the brightness outside, and what a
spectacle is revealed to our bewllderedjBg rl
vision—flowers, fungi, polypi, plants, shellsI
and rock, a veritable kaleidoscope of green, ll_ s
yellow, orange, violet and blue. With ex
cited exclamations of wonder and admiration
we gaze through the crystal plates, at the
aquatic army surrounding us. The boat’s
manometer Indicates our depth now—1,000
fathoms below the surface—and our captain,
a careful, brave and experienced submarine
skipperj*skillfully manipulating the electrio
switchboard at which he stands—always and
ever alert to the dangers of the deep—stops
our dowuward course and points his vessel
straight ahead; the pressure of an electrio
button Is simultaneous with a convulsive throb
as the mighty engine responds, the giant pro
peller churns the sea Into a foaming fury and
with a leap and bound, as of a frightened
thing of life, we plunge forward through the
transparent watery mass to explore the un
known depths.

activity thov have seldom known, so engross
our attention, the approach of a mammoth
nanvhale or unicorn of thesea is quite unnoticed
until almost upon us. The at first startled pas
sengers are quickly reassured by the captain.
There is no danger; our armament has been
well looked to in the emergency of attack,
but as the monster fish playfully circles
around us, strangely familiar and pleasant
sounds fall upon our ears; presently the mas
sive jaws of our friendly inclined escort open
und reveal a seml-earthly being, contentedly
seated on its monster green tongue, and In a
lino basso voice is singing the lay of the deep
blue sea; the torpedo-like velocity of our
craft, however, soon leaves the serenader,
far in our wake, the echoes of this presum
ably Jonah’s voice, have hardly died away,
when far*, ahead and immediately in our
course is seen the mermaid’s play-ground,
various kinds of Isis, clusters of pure tuft
coral, and prickly fungi form a beautiful gar
den on the ocean’s bed; a shoal of mermaids
appear to our now thoroughly delighted
visions, the delicately tinted gold and silver
be-sealed bodies gracefully bounding over,
underand around the boat, as if imbued with
earthly vanity, they would rival each other’s
brightness.
With never-ending and tireless energy, our
great speed undiminished, we rush madly on;
our goal is soon at hand; the pumps are set
In motion—the water drawn from the tanks.
Our now buoyant vessel speedily finds the
surface, and the thrilling subterranean pas
sage has ended. Disembarking, we are
guided to the base of Eiffel Tower; Immense
elevators lake us to its summit, where a mas
sive airship restlessly tugging at its moor
ing awaits to carry us back over land and
sea. All aboard! Cast anchor; and the bird
like wings moving up and down, the flight
through space has commenced. Paris soon
fades from view as with the speed of light we
rush along the pathless wastes; meteors,
comets, boasts of the Jalr, and lightning
storms are encountered, but undismayed is
the captain of this weird craft, and emerging
from a bank of clouds, our astonished and
bewildered senses are now completely dazed
at the vision that greets our eyes—the World’s
Fair Is spread out immediately below us;
gently the airship descends and discharges
herprecious cargo of mystified and delighted
passengers at the Pike landing dock, we have
enjoyed a marvelous experience and com
pleted our trip, under and over the sea.
