General Manager w. C. Brown, of
the Burlington road. commenting on
the action of the Rock Island in plac-
ing the ban on cigaret smokers. saws:
There is no question as to the evil
effects of cigarets on any one who is
addicted to their use. The peculi.r
nature of railroad mans duties re-
quires the highest quality of nerves
and control. Our company has not

interested in knowing the result of
the new policy adopted by the Rock

in the right direction
