LIFE.

The poets exclamation: 70 Life! feel thee bounding in my veins,' is a joyous one. Persons that can rarely or never make it, in honesty to them selves, are among the most unfortu- nate. They do not live, but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and strong-to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day, and to retire not overcome by them-to feel life bounding in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women, we'll and strong, has accomplished a great work, bestowlng the richest blessings, and that medic ne is Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown or debilitated, from any cause, should not fail to take it. It builds up the whole system changes existence into life, and makes life more abounding. We are glad to say these words in it's favor to the readers of our columns.

SMOKING ON sTREETcAR PLATFORMS

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: smoker and I may say. tnvet-
crate one. and yet my indignation is aroused about
every time board a Of the Metropolitan Street
Railroad. There is sign the back platform
which reads, NO Smoking 1t IS absolutely a
dead letter. I have never seen a conductor make
the slightest attempt to enforce this rule As
consequence. every woman who enters the car is
obliged TO pass through cloud OF tobacco smoke
arising from cigars. cigarettes and even old clay
pipes would like to ask. II the railroad company
will not enforce this rule Of its own motion
whether the powers of the Board Of Health cannot
be invoked TO stop practice which appears to me
to be offensive that Of spittngE II IS a
nuisance, and a growing one, and for the sake or
the women. at least who have to patronlze these
cars 1t should be summarfly suppressed
