Rates are being cut for the Mardi Gras at
New Orleans and the chances seem to be
that there will be some cheap excursion
tickets sold during the month of March
The agreed price from Chicago for the
Mardi Gras was: From Chicago, $25 to New
Orleans and 1913 to Mobile. The Mobile &
Ohio road has announced that it will make
a rate of $40 for the round trip from St
Louis to Mobile. The Alton announced that
it would use this rate for basing purposes
and the other roads of the Western PasSen-
ger Association interested in the traffic at
once said they would do the same. This
means a round trip between Chicago and
Mobile for about ST. as against $25. the
agreed rate for the Mardi Gras. All of the
interested roads will make the low rate, and
excursions to the South are likely to be
much cheaper than the roads had any idea
when they agreed upon their rates to the
Mardi Gras. 1t is hard to see how the roads
can maintain a rate of $25 for the round trip
between Chicago and New Orleans. when
the round trip rate between Chicago and
Mobile is IS lower

OF the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by
the facts.
