The consolidation of the
“World’s Greatest Shows” and
the “Greatest Shows on Earth”
in one circus of colissal size, con
stitutes the amusement surprise
of the country. Nothing to ap
proach this gigantic, new circus
lias ever before toured America,
ft lias been formed by merging
the pick and the cream of all that
was biggest and best in the two
famous shows. It would lie folly to
attempt to enumerate its many
wonders. Some idea of the enor
mous scale upon which features!
I are presented may be bad when it
is stated that a quarter of a mil
lion pounds of elephants take
part in a single act; in other
words—six times as many of the
big-eared giants than have ever
been seen in one main-tent exhi
bition All else to be seen is in pro
portion. The arenie stars embrace
all the world’s foremost circus
J performers. There are three hours
of novelties and big sensational
acts. The menagerie is far and
away the most colossal ever trav
eled. For instance—-a herd of eight
giraffes are exhibited in place of
two or three shown in the past.
The great tournament which
opens the main-tent program, is
the most magnificent thing in pa'- v
geantrv yet produced in America.
Hundreds upon hundreds of gor
geously costumed characters and
beautiful horses take part in it.
The morning street parade is the
longest and most brillant ever
given anywhere. It is a stupend
ous super-circus that baffles des
cription. *

when you walk between her and

The bureau of chemistry, the
statement said, now is aiding in

charin, for the alleged violation of
the food and drugs act.
“The attempt to exploit the
shortage of sugar and create a
demand for saccharin for use in

THE REASON WHY
Why rims a barber's pole have
si ripesi
In early years tlie barber not
only cut hair and shaved people,
but he aa as also a surgeon, lie was
a surgeon to the extent that- he
hied people. In early times our
knowledge of surgery was practi
cally limited 1o blood letting. A
great many of the ailments were
attributed to too much blood in
the body, and when anything got
wrong with a man or Avoman, the
first thing they thought of was to
reduce the amount of blood in the
body by taking some of it out.
The toAvn barber Avns Iho man
a\lio did this for people, and his
pole represented the sign of his
business.
The round ball at the top, which
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30
is generally gilded. represents the
barbering end of the business It
stood for tlie brass basin which
the barber used to prepare lather
for shaving customers.
The pole itself represents the
stuff v. hiclr people were having
blood taken out of their bodies
held during the operation. The
two spiral libhons, one rod and
one white, which are painted spir
ally on the pole, represent the ban
dages. The white one stood for the
bandage which was put on before
the blood was taken out and the
rod one t lie bandage which was
used for binding up the wound
when 11 10 operation was complet
