Small Pointers About The Fair.

Take things easy. There is so m uch to see there and so little time to see it in, that most people over-do the ir physical abilities and are clear used up, in two or three days. Learn to go slow and take it easy, especial'ly during the first day or two. This is the most important advice we can give to the people going to the fair:—

Take things easy. j Read up all you can about the fair >e fore you go, and when you get there don’t try to get along without maps and guide books. The black covered Official Guide book, sold on the grounds, for 25 cents, will be worth a good many times its cost, if people will take time to read what it says about, different buildings and their contents before going into them. For visitors in a hurry, we don’t know of anything so good as “The Time Saver” mentioned in these columns two weeks ago. Not being “official” this is not sold on the grounds. Buy oue of J. E. Spitler or some other news dealer. Many people kick against Ming Charged 5 cents for the privelege of water-closele, on the fair grounds. But there are numberless excellent free closets on the grounds, there being several in nearly every large building and in all the state buildings. In nearly all the closets where there is a pay room there is also a free room. There is plenty of free drinking water on the grounds, including numberless tanks of ( “sterilized water” supposed to have all the disease gems takeh out Hygeia mineral water, piped from Wisconsin, is on Kalb every where, at a cent a glass.

Prices It restaurants and refreshment counters on the grounds are pretty steep, but not extortionate; and there is no robbery, for bills of fare, with prices, are posted where all can see. The majority of people take their dinners in paper and eheck them at their state buildings, and eat them there when they get hungry.
