Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile vas pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order Of
Railway Conductors, and unions Of the
blacksmlths, Tachinists and telegraph
er, b~oilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters aad j%oiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduce
ton would work against the prosper
ity Of the state and lead to q reduc.
ton in the number of railroad en-
ployes rs we'll as of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that a reduction as proposed
would result In few trains and poor
service.

and assimilation Of food that keeps up the
body, it p%urifies and enriches the Blood
and corrects, regulates and strengthens
the nerves. This explains why one medi.

How a Woman Made a Success Of the
Home Vegetable Garden.

Theory is the foundation, expert
ence the finished structure. Garden
books as a rule run to the theoretical
ride and it is up to each one of us
to buy the seed and accumulate the ex-
perience, oftentimes a most expensive
proposition, especially in the vegetable
garden; hence when a book appears
that is practical and written by an
amateur who can and does raise each
year all the vegetables for tho home
table, it Is bound to receive a warm
welcome.
How to Make a Vegetable Garden"
by Edith Loring Fullerton. is a new
book just published by Doubleday, Page
& Co., New York City, at $500. 1t has
over $50 pages and is profusely illus
trated by half-tone reproductions of
photographs taken especially for this
book, which covers all phases of gar.
denins-the breaking of the soil. fer
tilization, planting, growth, cultivation
and even the preparation for the table,
each vegetable story covering the
housewives end of it by means of
recipes for cooking and serving.
Every portion Of the book is thor
oughly practical, being the story OF
personal experience from beginning to
end. A very ingenious table is added,
giving planting time, depth to plant,

PLENTY OF MOVING PLATFORMS.
Promoters Expect to Establish Them in 1dth
and 59th sts., as Well as 34th-st.

Max E. Schmidt OF Schmidt & Gallatin. who
pect TO put moving platforms in 34th-st., between
1st and 9th aves said yesterday that he expected
to establish a similar service in 59th and 14th SITS.
we feel confident" said Mr.. Schmidt, that we
shall begin the construction of the tunnel for the
moving platforms by early fall THE tunnel will be
fourteen feet high. and of sufficient width for a
brick wall to separate sets of platforms going
opposite directions There will be eight feet in the
clear above the platforms proper with a space of
six feet below for the machinery. We shall have
three platforms running at varying degrees of speed
three, six and nine miles hour. When first put
into operation the plant will be operated at some
what lower dferential speed than three miles an
hour. This will give timd passengers an oppor-
tunty to learn how to get on and off, The killing
of a person will be practically impossible on the
moving platforms. The worst that could happen If
a person should fall. would be a broken arm or
limb. but no such thing happened in transporting
the twelve million passengers at Paris and the
Worlds Fair
I'VE have made arrangements with the Inter
borough company, so that there will be free
fers to and from platforms with five cent
fare If the first moving platform works we'll. there
is no doubt that the Rapid Transit Commission will
authorize them under 18th and 59th SITS. The one
under 14th-st doubtless will be under the river
to Brooklyn and to New-Jersey.'
The moving platform people assert that the
scheme In 34th-st. would offer a seating capacity
of fifty thousand passengers hour, and transport
every passenger arriving departing from the
Fennsylyania terminal station without congestion
and still have the greater number or seats vacant
for the normal crosstown traffic.

trail Railroad is one of the nanciers interested
