year than for many scaSons,no a pass

ful loss of life Of the railroads. And

many elegant passenger steamers
blowing the cool waters of the lakes
every summer. When the South Da-
kota Press association made the trip
from Duluth to Chicago two years ago
this last summer many backed out
through fcar and some of the women
who did 90 never got Il good nights

up IL flight Of marble steps, along a
corridor and lobby eilded like an
Alladin palace, young men and women
were going up in squads of two, four
and half-dozen, and out of curiosity
joined the motley crowd. In mt

than two hundred people, men and
women, were seated at the mahogany
tables on the characteristic little in
laid stools enjoying the oriental dishes

Too bad that the western roads
can't see the advantages of adopting
the Nickle Plates dining car service.
| The western lines once set the pace on
dining cars and at one time we're
were praised right and left by all
eastern people who happened to enjoy
their advantages. The Nickle Plate
road serves better meal and at much
lower prices than any western road,
the diners in use are as good as the
best and the service everything to BE
desired. On a Nickle Plate diner one
can get regular breakfast, lunch or
dinner for fifty cents which on a west
ern road costs about 81 %, taken from
Il menu card. The Nickle Plate gives
the traveller the choice of what is call
ed an 'indiyidual club meal' from 30
cents to 81, or anything you want from
the standard menu card. The club
meals ar arranged on a elaborate
menu card, with all kinds of combina-
