PUTS Ban ON LIQUOR
The Burlington Extends Prohibi-
ton to All Classes OF
Employees.
Frequenting of Saloons or Habit
ual Use Of Intoxicants Cause
for Dismissal.
Heretofore the Rule Was Applied
Only to the Operating
Department.

| Chicago, Feb. 25.-The officials OF the
Burlington railroad have started q
campaign against intoxicants with Il
view to graduating their use by the
employees of every department. not only
when on duty, but also while off duty.
Heretofore the stringent rule against
the use of liquor while on duty has on
ly been enforced rigidly against those
who had anything to do with the oper-
alton of trains. Hereafter the rule
will be enforced against the employees
of all departments, including even the
track, bridge and building departments.
Members of these departments upon
receiving their new books of rules were
surprised to read the following rule:
Employees of these departments
work great deal in the cold and suf-
fer continual exposure, and many of
them have been in the habit of occa-
sionally taking a drink as means of
protection against the cold or rain.
This the officials believe is unnecessa-
ry and should cease. The officials
think that as trackmen and bridge
builders are compelled to know the sig
nails and to use them In protecting
themselves and trains while working, 1t
is essential that they should let liquor
alone, as it is for the engineers to have
clear heads.
THE custom of soliciting fees or
subscriptions for any purpose is pro-
hibited and employees are also forced to
pay their debts in observance of the
following:
"An employee subjecting the company
to the service of a garnishment of his
Jay will be liable to dismissal. and
should be held responsible for all ex-
penses incurred by this company in
connection herewith"
In the book of rules issued by the
passenger department, suggestions to
employees regarding the service are in
yited. Rule IA reads:
Suggestions designed to improve the
service to increase business or likely
to be of general interest to the officers
CT the company will be appreciated
Suggestions designed to improve the
service or to increase business, or like
ly to be of general interest to the Off
GERS of the company, will be aprreci-
ated."
1t is expected that many suggestions
CT value will be obtained in this way,
and the plan will also give the passen-
ger department barometer of the fer
tility of its employees. The latter are
told that civil service governs. by
strict attention to business you are in
line of promotion. and your success de-
ponds. among other things. upon the
amount of business secured and the
manner in which it is handled"
The books of rules have been issued
by every department. and employees are
expected to get copies and study them
The books are numbered and record
is kept OF each.

SNOW OFF THE WHEAT FIELDS.
1t lis Feared the Soft Grain Variety
Was Hurt by Ereezinq.

Abilene. kas., Feb. 25.-The snow
practically has gone from the wheat
fields under the warm sunshine of the
last few days. and the farmers are Gag
erly investigating the condition of the
wheat. 1t is believed by many that the
soft wheat, of which considerable was
sown last fall in the hope that II would
make better pasture than the hard is
badly injured by the severe freezing.
The hard or Russian wheat does not
show much harm 1t is yet too early to
determine fully. as the plant has not yet
begun to grow nRain.

Hens should not have f.tteninu

Grase, insects, oars, ETC., will be the
best hot weather diet. Make the

is better for them if they do not iay
any during July, August and Sep

Hens are usually very choice in
their selections of nests, and unless
We provide those that are acceptable
to them they will most likely sock
others. Now is a good time to re-
now every one. Take the old straw
