One of the features in the Palace of Education at ithe Panama-Pacific Exposition which attracted widespread :
attention was the Exhibit of the Pennsylvania State Department of Health.
|
Physicians, public health workers, sanitarians and hundreds of thousands of people studied with keen interest |
the display which showed the ten years of work in this Commonwealth to protect and improve heakh conditions. |
For months before the exhibition opened, artists, model makers, draftsmen, plaster modelers were busily en:
gaged in constructing the interesting models which showed in marvelous detail all of the buildings of the Tubercu- |
losis Sanatoria at Mont Alto, Cresson and Hamburg. These were constructed on a scale of one-sixteenth of an inch
to the foot.
The accurate and artistic reproduction of these buildings in themselves made up a feature of the exhibit which
offered opportunities for study to hospitals and health authorities from all over the United States.
There were models showing how epidemics of typhoid fever have been caused, models of schoolhouses show-
Ing proper ventilation and arrangement of buildings and ground, models of children showing correct and incorrect
posture and many others equally interesting and fascinating.
This exhibit, which was planned and constructed under the supervision of Commissioner of Health Samuel G.
Dixon, was shipped at the close of the Exposition to Philadelphia and will be erected at the Academy of Natural
‘Sciences on Logan Square, where it will be open to the public for some time to come.
Following it’s display in Philadelphia it will probably be taken to other large centers of population in the
: State.

Are you paying to sit in the dark?
: Pr to ruin your eyes, paying to smell burn-
ing wick and the odor of poor kerosene? Are
you doing these things? -
Unless your home is equipped with Rayo Lamps—
you probably are. And what’s more, you are pay-
ing the identical price that would buy you the flood
of brilliant, eye-soothing, steady light that beams
from a Rayo Lamp filled with slow-burning :
ATLANTIC
Rayolight
Rayo Lamps are beautiful—an ornament to any room. And they
burn brightly, without flicker or smell. Your dealer can show you
a special design for any room, ranging in price from $1.50 up. No
matter what sort of Tight you’ve got, the addition of a few Rayo
Lamps will make your home brighter and the folks happier.
But Rayo Lamps are at their best when burning Atlantic Rayolight
Qil. It is the one kerosene that burns without smoke or smell—that
is always the same. It gives the brightest light and the greatest
heat for the least money.
The use of Atlantic Rayolight Oil doesn’t stop with burning and
heating; thousands of housewives have written us that it’s the very
finest thing to brighten faded carpets, keeps the moths away from
closets, shelves and drawers, cuts grease better than anything else,
and that for washing windows it’s without equal.
Be certain to ask for Atlantic Rayolight Oil by name—
it costs no more than the unknown, unreliable kerosene.
