PLANS FOR NEW SYSTEM
Frank Stewart WIN Manage
Rock Island Eating Houses
General News of Interest to
Railroad Men.

The Rock Island system has taken
under its own control all the eating
houses along its lines. This change was
made only lately, dinner Bros, formerly
having operated the restaurants and
lunch rooms of the entire Rock Island
system, except two houses east Of the
Missouri river These the company
itself had control Of.
Mr. Frank Stewart OF Davenport, Ia,
has been made manager Of this depart
ment, and has already entered upon his
duties. All the eating houses on the
system are being remodeled. and I'M
proved wherever possible; and 1t IS IN
tended that the service shall be neld
up to its present high standard wien
tia has been made a meal station anu
elegant rooms are being fitted up there
for this purpose. This has caused q
change in the time of some of the trains
No J. which leaves Topeka at p m Tor
the west, will get supper at Wichita
No &C. which reaches Topeka on lts
way east, will dine at Wichita
It is expected that Mr. Stewart viii
place a manager somewhere IN the west
and it is probable that Topeka Will pc
dinner Bros, who have for a long
time operated the eating houses along
this line. have recently bought two
thirds interest in the Grand hotel at In
dianapolis, and it is this that has
brought about the change.
Among railroads there is no estab-
1ished rule as to the operation Of res
taurants and lunch rooms Some COM
panies control the eating houses directly,
while others give the management TO
one or two persons for the whole sys-
tenn and still others allow individuals
all along the line to conduct the bust
ness
Dining cars are not yet being used
on other than those trains running on
a fast schedule and making short stops
at most places For this reason it is evil
dent that the operation of the eating
houses is an important department il

no disease II does not initiate. Catarrh
prevails IN all seasons and spares no
calling or vocation No locality is en-
tirely free from its ravages, no amount
of vitality can Withstand its attack
Neither childhood nor old age is exempt
from it's presence, and it does not re-
spect sex, color, or nationality.
Summer and winter spring and au-
tumn, catarrh ceases not to afilict
large per cent Of the inhabitants Of this
country. But it is especially during the
winter season that catarrh does its most
deadly work. Every cold wave. every
Wintry blizzard, every storm OF siee-,
snow or rain adds thousands to the an
nual list OF victims OF chronic catarrh.
