Kohlsaat no less than those paid to the

to have an influence for good upon

are also separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen, and smoking is absolutely pro-

Another fact not to be overlooked is that
these Pullman Colonist Sleepers are at

enabling passengers occupying these cars to
make the same time as occupants of first
