"a novice to the locomotive cab is
encountered by the men in charge of
the engine especially at night, nor is
he in a position to judge of the mem

over every detail by which their work
is regulated. What to a novice seems
a series of exciting episodes, is to
the trained man events of regularly
controlled matter of fact duties. A
trip which a stranger finds full of ter

All that medicine can do for these trou-

germs, and such results are indirect
and uncertain. Liquozone attacks the
germs, wherever they are. And when
the germs which cause a disease are
destroyed, the disease must end, and
forever. That is inevitable.

introduce a whipping post bill. The bill
has been already prepared, and is likely
to be thrown into the hopper before
Under the terms of this bill, any per-
son convicted of wife-beating, cruelty
to children or vagrancy, shall be taken
and publicly whipped upon the naked
back The judge may determine how
many lashes shall be administered, but
the law fixes the maximum at 100.
The proposed law does not set forth
in detail Just what sort of a whip shall
be used so it is to be supposed that
anything from a cat of nine tails to
willow switch is allowable, in the dis
erection of the court. Nor is it distinctly
specifed how hard the "officer of the
court shall strike. The only require

force" Wouldn't rolled oats do as we'll?
