State Fair encB is.fgpdhgj!i|v •of any country, and the auuy Ived from it is* Stir* to work a auurfced benefit to the babyhood of the state. It is indeed an attractive and practical arrangement of the north wing of the Exposition Building, that has been prepared for the housing of; the hundreds of babies that will be up for scientific inspection and in competition for the awards offered in this department. This wing of the big building that has been given over entfrely to the Better Babies conference is sixty feet long and twenty feet wide, and through the center of the long building, with ampffe aisle-ways on all sides has been erected glass sided show rooms, through which the little tots will pass during the process of their examination, by the various physicians and in which they will be protected from contact with the public, yet in plain view of all visitors. The mothers will first take the babies to a dressing room oh the balcony floor, and from there descend into the glass house by a private stairway. Upon the baby's arrival in the inspection rooms it will be turned over to a trained nurse and started on its way through the various rooms. The first examination will be one classed as mental, the doctor in the second room, will pass on the childs physical condition and makeup, its heart, lungs, and contour of body. The physician in the next booth will be an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. From there it goes to the dentist for inspection, and in the fifth booth, it is measured and weighed to ascertain its nearness to physical perfection. A chart is kept of all the findings of the various tests and examinations, so that when the inspection and judging is completed, a most valuable record of the child's general physical condition has. been made. Twenty-five to thirty doctors will be on the examining staff and a nurse will be provided for each doctor, making a corps of fifty to sixty skilled members. As there are five glassedin rooms on either side of the central inclosure, it will require a staff of ten nurses and doctors constantly at work each day, beginning Saturday morning, September 25th, which is the final day for judging and examinations. A child may be entered purely for the benefit of the examination and not be a participant in the contest if the parent so desires. The free adult clinic that is also a part of the Department of health's field of activities, will carry an active force of six to ten doctors each day, and will inspect all applicants free of charge on the following points; weight, muscle test, lung capacity, blood pressure xand teeth. The dental examination is a new service that has been added to this year's inspection, and is sponsored by state dental and medical societies that are furnishing the Dr's., for this important work. These free examinations can have a most beneficial effect if the public will but take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to learn from competent specialists, the true condition of their physical condition.

Storf» Urban, Illinois Sept. 23--Plenty of football tickets for the general public and a "painless" method of distribu tion is the reassuring news from the University of Illinois as the football ticket office ma(kes ready to mail; out application blanks and complete; information on how to get the paste-< boards qualifying you to observe Capt. Red Grange and his Illini in their fall performances. There isn't anything dificult about ordering tickets, the Illini say. They have begun to mail out all the dope subscribers to the stadium' and other fans whose names appear on the mailing list of the football ticket office. All you have to do to get on the mailing list is to send in your name and address. The Illini also plan to setid application blanks to banks, clubs and other places. The three big games in the stadium for which seats will be reserved are Nebraska, Oct. 3, Michigan, Oct. 24 and Chicago Nov. 7. Seats for Butler, Oct. 10 and Wabash, Nov.14, will not be reserved. The seating capacity will be 67,000. The Illini kind of think that there will be a packed stadium for both the Michigan and Chicago games but they think that there will be tickets practically up to the last minute, so don't believe any early stories that "all seats are sold". Paid-to-date subscribers to the stadium have a running start on other fans in having their orders filled and this is no more than just; considering that their generosity made the stadium possible. Many subscribers, who have been dilatory with their payments, are hustling in their checks. But this need not worry the non-subscribers-- all they have to do to get the seats they want is to order reason / * September 27, 1900 / St. Patrick's church was ttift «£ene of a brilliant wedding last Tuesday morning which united the lives of two young people prominent in the social affairs of McHenry, Miss Ellen Loretto Walsh and Mr. John Walsh. The Rev. Father O'Neil officiated. Miss Marguarite Walsh, sister of the groom, maid of honor, preceded the bride to the altar. Mr. Thomas Walsh, brother of the bride, was best man. The bride looked very sweet and charming in her bridal robe of fa^n colored cloth. The skirt waS arranged in small tucks and the waist most beautifully trimmed with turquoise blue and Russian lace with velvet bodice. The groom and best man wore the conventional black. A reception followed the ceremony at the bride's home just south of town at which 160 relatives and friends were present. The bridal couple will at once commence housekeeping in the elegant residence just purchased and which is most beautifully furnished and waiting to receive them. J*Ir. and Mrs. George Thomas were agreeably surprised last Sunday by relatives to the number of 56. The guests assembled while Mrs. ThomaB and daughters were at Sunday school, and when Mrs. Thomas arrived she found everything in readiness for the celebration of her.25th marriage anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were presented with two full sets of silver knives and forks, also four table spoons. In addition to the silver an elegant china tea set consisting of fifty-six pieces was presented. Last Saturday was Mr. Page Colby's 80th birthday anniversary and his children planned a surprise in honor of the occasion. At eleven o'clock in company with their (families!, they took possession of the old homestead and at twelve o'clock served a sumptuous dinner. As the twilight shadows gathered all took their departure, wishing the venerable gentleman many happy returns of the day. The arangements are all complete for the grand ball to be given a Riverside hall, Friday evening of this week. Hardin's celebrated harp orchestra will furnish the music and this in itself is sufficent guarantee of a very delightful occasion. A supper consisting of all the dainties in season will be served. Charles Harrison Smith, aged 63 years, passed away at his home in this village Sunday, September 23. He was born in Vermont but had lived in McHenry for a period of some thirty years. He was a kind and indulgent husband and father and neighbor ever repdy to assist in time of need. He possessed a heart full of generous im pulses and gave to all public causes with a lavish hand.
