PREVENTION OF CoNTAGloN IN
PASSENGER CARS.

In communication to The Railroad
Gazette Dr. Leroy NJ. Yale gives a
comprehensive resume of the facts re-
garding the communicability OF the
commoner contagious diseases through
the medium of sleeping cars. Begin

sons suffering from it and trying to
prevent the fever-giving mosquito
from riding on the cars the railroads
can do nothing. A similar condition
exists with regard to malarial fevers.

road tracks being due to the forma.

toes.
Treating of cholera the physician
states that it is no communicated by
contact, but is nearly always taken
through the Introduction into the di.
gestive orgfians of infected food or
drinking water. The railroads. there
fore, should be careful to prevent the
presence of the comma bacillus by a
proper supervision of the food sup
plies furnished travellers and by keep
ing scrIpulously clean all drinking
vessels, and further by serving only
pure water and milk. Similar to chol-
era in its methods of propagation Is
typhoid fever, which is given by the
typhoid bacillus. The character Of its
propagation, says the physician, makes
it's contraction in cars rare. On the
other hand typhus fever. frequently
confounded with typhoid, is commune
Gated largely through the breath and
skin, and is quickly absorbed by bed

The lucky man is the one who

perseverance, wears and wins.
Tho largest room in the world Is
The room for self Improvement.
Give a youth resolution and the al

We get out OF life just what we put
into 1t, the world has for US Just what
We have for 1t.
Don't brood over the past, or dream
OF the future, but use the instant and
get your lesson from the hour.
In many an establishment there are
successes who are infinitely Inferior
to the failures from whom they snatch
the laurels.
No one else can solve your problem.
or work out your riddle. You stand or
fall by it. Your happiness, your well
being. your success and your destiny
hang upon your carrying ont the pro
gram the Creator has given you.
Stock taking every day Is great
