Thousands of people are on the road
while you read this, and they are chOos-
ing between two courses Of economy.
Some Of them are making mistakes but
will not know it till it is too late, and
some never do see the difference. These
are some of the points to be considered:
If you are going to be on the road
overnight you can save from one dollar
to three dollars by not taking a berth.
You can nap some in the chair car but
you will feel dull and sleepy next day.
Too dull to notice the scenery or to re-
member to enjoy it or remember it. You
paid considerable money to have the
tiful regions, and if you miss their
beauty, you have partly wasted that
money. If you have berth and do not
sleep you will do a lot of resting any
way. You are accustomed to having
warm breakfast at home and you can
get a warm meal i'm the diner, though it
is going to cost from forty cents to a
dollar. If you have a basket of nice
lunch with you, and eat a cold break
fast you may feel all right or you may
soon have headache so that there will
be but little of observation and pleas
ure for you for the rest of the day. In
this case again you are wasting the
money that you paid for your ticket
IT you carry a lunch with you, it is a
good plan to have one hot meal day
anyway. You had better get this in the
diner, because when you get off of the
train to eat, you are in danger of get
ting left and You are sure to be uneasy
and anxious, and this anxiety spoils
your meal to some extent. In the diner
you have all the time there is, the waiter
brings you exactly what you want, jol- !
les you little, gives you a flower for
your buttonhole. and thanks you very
nicely if you leave him some extra |
change when you pay your bill. He

When you get sleeper accommoda-

you get berth just for the night
