"Rest Rooms Are the Things

In some of the more progressive
Western towns, there is what is called a
RESTROOM" for farmers and their fami-
lies, who come to town for shopping or
on business. The object is to give them,
without charge, a place where they can
"wash up" take chair for a little
while, read the papers or the magazines
and eat their lunch. Such an arrange
ment increases trade, gives comfort to
tired men and women and promotes good
fellowship between town folk and coun-
try folk.
And very sensible idea at that. Man.
kato merchants would profit by the es-
Enlistment of rest room in this city
1t is worth trial 1t is practicable
worth the consideration of
bodies.
