tive in New Movement.
Chicago, I'LL, Oct. 1S.-Clarence A.
Right, president of the Chicago and
Oak Park Elevated road. has started
to wage single-handed combat in
the cause of traction reform. He has
announced that he expects to abolish
smoking cars on the trains of his ele-
waited roads. That he will be alone
in his experiment was seen today
when the heads of the other traction
compa MES, elevated and surface, com
mented on the smoking car as to
whether it is blessing or curse.
The balance of opinion among the
other traction heads seemed to be
against Mr.. knights plan.
November 1 is the date set for the
abolition of smoking cars Some in
dignation among the western suburb
antics who smoke already has been
stirred up, and the Oak club held
special indignation meeting tonight to
protest against the proposed action.

PROGRAM FOR
TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT

Arrangements for the Anti-Tuber-
culosis exhibit are practically com
plete. The exhibit is now opened to
the public and lectures will be given
there every afternoon at o'clock
and every evening at o'clock. Last
night Mr.. Gloyer of Madison lectured
Oil the disease from a popular point
Of view. Thursday evening he will
give a special lecture on Tubercul-
osis among cattle and their relation
to man as transmitters of disease.
This lecture ought to be interesting
for it is a burning question near Mil
waukee and other cities of this state.
This evening DR.. Blanchar will lee
ture on tuberculosis at the exhibit
and will no doubt present facts of
local character. Friday night there
will be a special lecture at the
Methodist church, but the special
lecturer is unknown as yet.
Free tickets are distributed at the
exhibit or in stores having signs
| in their windows that tickets for this
special lecture can be obtained in
side. The admission will be strictly
by ticket and people will be COM

| PEELED to present them at the door.
All people should not depend on this
| lecture for the seating capacity is
| limited to about 300. At Merrill
there were over 600 people present
at hte special lecture said Mr.. Gloyer
and there was an overcrowded house.
1t is preferred that people hear the
| lectures at the exhibit so as not to
have confusion at the special lee
ture.
The exhibit at the Harvey Gee
for it contains all things necessary
for fighting the great white plague.
There are several dozen of charts
with models of sleeping porches and
sanitariums. One case Of specimens
at the exhibit is attracting special
attention for they show that this
disease may infect any portion of
the human body and that very little
tissue is left in a we'll developed
case of pulminary tuberculosis. There
is one chart which compares the
death rate Of this disease with four
years of Civil War. This shows
that the horrors of war are nothing
compared with the ever present
plague, tuberculosis.
This exhibit has been prepared by
Professor Frost of the University of
Wisconsin and was much praised at
the last tuberculosis congress held
at Washington. 1t was the sale of
the red cross stamps last Christmas
that raised fund to send the ex-
hibit to teach the masses not only
how to prevent tuberculosis, but al
so how to prevent other diseases
which are prevented by hygenic
conditions.

1t is a fact that sometimes a man

busy sowing weed seeds when he is

One always performs that kind of
