Suggestion That Special Cars Fos

Post makes suggestion that will com.

official care. Two good objects would
thus be accomplished The children
would have a good time and people
travelling without children would be
much relieved. Here is the suggestion:
The walls of the car should be padded
and the windows set high enough to insure
abundant venalation without the danger
that any spirited youngster might Climb

acting as umpire in controversies and as
emergency surgeon for the petty wounds
of play and tucking the tired and sleepy
ones into little cribs in a compartment n
one end of the car.
All the considerations affecting this
innovation are thoughtfully worked
out, and its great advantages are sea
forth with excellent humor. 1t is pre-
dfcted that the company which estab
fishes such car, which. like a sleeping
car or parlor car would command spe
cial rates. would soon become popular
Whether the writer would have a strict
requirement that all children should
be transported in the special car pro-
vided for them is not stated. This is q
delicate point Perhaps the important
object, the relief of those who do not
relish travelling with children, could be
accomplished by running special cars
to which children are not admitted ac-
cording to the rule of some New York
apartment houses.

DOWlE'S COURTlNG RULES.
Zion City Girls Under Eighteen FOR
hidden to Speak to Men In Public.

Zion City Girls Under Eighteen For
hidden to Speak to Men In Public.
DR.. John Alexander Dowie has set
himself up as the arbitrary judge In
every courtship in Zion City, says q
Chicago special dispatch. In recent
sermon to his full flock he laid it down
as an unquestionable law that no love-
making shall take place without his
controlling hand, either directly or in
directly. and there are rumors of a
growing spirit Of rebellion among the
Zion City maids.
Only few weeks ago Dowie decread
that any young man calling On a girl
in Zion City must while away every
minute of the visit in the presence of
her parents, and now he has forbidden
any girl under eighteen years old to
speak to a man in public.
Dowie said emphatically that no girl
could speak to a man in the streets Of
Zion City until she had reached her
eighteenth birthday. and, more than
this, he imposed a restriction on un-
married women of all ages which
SeculS likely lO cause revolt among
the followers Of elijah" His amend
ment to the under eighteen rule is that
no woman, irrespective Of age, shall
speak to man in public until she first
has gained the consent of her parents,
which must be subject to his own ap-
prevail This last clause is what has
aroused the ire of the young women Of
Zion City, as they are unanimous. in
objecting to any one forcing himself
upon them as a guide to lead them
through the realm of romance It Is
said that these restrictions on love
making promise to raise the most diff
cult problem with which Dowie has
been confronted since he gathered his
followers around him in Zion City.

A Woman's Complexion

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasines 5
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flow er

and enslches the blosd, purifies shf.

Importance of the Dairy Bull.

Where the buyer of dairy cattle has

him to bear in mind that this is mat

The Russian ships in the harbor were badly

Two Russian torredo boats tried to enter the
