FOR TIFF WOIN AND CHIFDRFN
Building Dedicated to Tiny Tots, Mothers and Daughters
of Oklahoma at State Exposition, September
26 to October 7—Every Known Con-
venience is Provided
Comfort! That will be the watch-
word of the Oklahoma State Fair, Ok-
lahoma City, Sept. 26 to Oct. 7. The
half million State Fair visitors will be
surprised by the arrangements for
their comfort that will have been com-
pleted when the great exposition opens
this fall. Ample toilet conveniences,
an emergency hospital, a day nursery,
a woman’s rest department in a build-
ing dedicated to the mothers, daugh-
ters and children of Oklahoma; a bu-
Ruilding and Women’s Rest Cottage. A
competent matron will be in charge
day and night to administer to the
wants of the grown ups while trained
nurses will have charge of the chil-
dren. The nursery will be under the
management of the Federated Kinder-
garten Mother’s Club, which insures
the best of care for the tiny tots while
their mothers, care-free, enjoy one
whole day at the State Fair. The fair

CHILDREN’S BUILDING AND WOMEN’S REST COTTAGE
One of the imposing buildings at the Oklahoma State Fair which was erected
solely for the comfort of women and children. It has every modern con-
venience.
reau of information, complete tele-
graph service, a check room—in fact
everything under the sun that will con-
tribute to tbe good cheer of all the
people may be found when the gates
swing back for the biggest show ever
before undertaken in the southwest.
No detail has been overlooked in pro-
viding a place for women and children.
A state of quiet enjoyment and every-
thing that contributes to it may be
found in the Children’s Building and
Women's Rest Cottage, erected at a
cost of $5,000 and dedicated to the lit-
tle folks, the proud mothers and the
fair daughters of Oklahoma. It is lo-
cated in a shady grove, where all the
surroundings suggest peace and con-
tentment. The building is as snug as any
modern home und every modern conven-
ience found in the best regulated fam-
ily will be found in the Children’s
Children’s Building and Women’s Rest
Cottage than any other departmeht
and is now engaged in making every
known improvement.
In addition to the Bureau of Infor-
mation at the State Fair Grounds, there
will be a similar Bureau at some con-
venient place in Oklahoma City, where
a complete list of hotels and boarding
houses will be provided visitors. A
complete telephone exchange will be
operated on the grounds, which means
that a person in the Agricultural build-
ing may converse with anyone in the
main Exposition building or any other
building at the exposition. Branch tel
egraph stations w ill also be established
on the grounds.
A trained nurse and physician will be
in charge of the emergency hospital
and every other known convenience
will be installed.
In many flocks of hens may be
found individuals that fail to pay even
n small per cent of profit. It is pos-
sible, by the use of modern appliances
to detect all such specimens. The
wild jungle fowl from which our
domestic fowls have come is reported
to lay less than one dozen eggs per
year, and while any of our modern
liens will greatly exceed this number,
there is yet much room for improve-
ment. The hen that lays one hundred
or more per year ordinarily pays a
profit
By the trap nest system we are able
to select the early and persistent
layyer. A few generations produced
from such selections will greatly in-
crease the egg yield. Some pullets
will lay at five months or less while
others in the same flock may not be-
gin laying until they are eight
months old. The cost of care and feed
for these three months would be quite
an item with a large flock. If we are
breeding for the show room the trap
nest is of great importance since we
are enabled to distinguish each hen's
eggs. Thus in a pen of ten females
and one male we have ten separate
matings instead of one.
The keeping of individual records
may appear to some to be a great deal
of unnecessary work, but with the in-
creased labor comes the greater in-
crease in profit. On the college farm
this season we have pullets laying at
four months and five days. Such
stock is very valuable for the founda-
tion of a flock. By the use of trap
nests it is possible to select and breed
up a flock of early layers and heavy
layers.—V. R. McBride, Poultryman,
A. & M. College, Stillwater.
ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force of
Well-Meant Argument for
Temperance.
On a pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son were
seated in the village inn. The father
had partaken liberally of the home-
brewed beer, and was warning his son
against the evils of intemperance.
“Never drink too much, my son. A
gentleman stops when he has enough.
To be drunk is a disgrace.”
“Yes, father, but how can I tell
when I have enough or am drunk?”
The old man pointed with his finger.
“Do you see those two ipen sitting in
the corner? If you should see four
men there, you would be drunk.”
The boy looked long and earnestly.
“Yes, father, but—but—there is only
one man in that corner.”—Lippin
cott’s.
Generous.
“Was he generous when a boy at
school?”
“Yes; he always let his school-
mates take his share of the punish-
ment.”—Judge.
SAVED
FROM AN
OPERATION
A love affair can end two ways:
In one the letters and pictures are
burned; in the other the letters and
pictures are forgotten.
Ton smiles for a nickel. Always buy Red
Crops Rail Blue; have beautiful clear white
clothes.
When the bill collector comes in at
the door the dead beat hikes for the
cellar.

Dodging had story tellers is one way
of avoiding poor relations.
Fmokers like Lewis’ Single Binder cigar
for ita rich mellow quality.
More people would succeed if more
would try.
By Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Peoria, 111.—“I wish to let every ona
know what Lydia E. Pinkham’a romo-
r- *- L1.......dies havo done for
me. For two years
I suffered. The doc-
tors said I had tu-
mors, and the only
remedy was the sur-
geon’s knife. My
mother bought mo
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com-
U] pound, and today I
am a healthy wo-
man. For months,
—^I suffered from in-
flammation,and your Sanative Wash re-
lieved me. Your Liver Pills have no
equal as a cathartic. Any one wishing
proof of what your medicines havo
done for me can get it from any drug-
gist or by writing to me. You can uso
my testimonial in anyway you wish,
and I will be glad to answer letters.”—
Mrs. Christina Reed. 105 Mound St.,
Peoria, 111.
Another Operation Avoided.
New Orleans, La.—“For years I suf-
fered from severe female troubles.
Finally I was confined to my bed and
the doctor said an operation was neces-
sary. I gave Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound a trial first, and
was saved from an operation.”—Mrs.
Lily Peyroux, 1111 Kerlerec St., New
Orleans, La.
The great volume of unsolicited tes-
timony constantly pouring in proves
conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham’g
Vegetable Compound is a remarkable
remedy for those distressing feminine
ills from which so many women suffer.
