Cars are Net Sanitary.

Gov. Hadley is not pleased with
either the urcleanliness or the un-
sanitary conditions of the sleeping
cars and coaches that are operated
upon the railroads Of Missouri, and
has called upon the state board of
health to make an investigation of
the same and demand that the man
agements of the Missouri roads take
steps to remedy these evils. The
governors idea of the conditions that
he complains of is gained by his per
sonal observation during recent trips
over the state. A letter Transmitted
by the governor to the president of
the state board of health says: Re-
Gently, during my travels about the
state, l have had occasion to notice
the very unsanitary condition of the
railroad cars, and particularly of the
closets and washrooms, both upon the
ordinary coaches and also in the sleep
ing cars. | have also noticed that
promiscuous expectoration is general
on the trains. l wish that you would
appoint a committee from the state
board of health to investigate these
conditions, and take up with the rail
road companies the question Of OBJ
serving rules that your board might
establish for the Improvement of exist
ing conditions.
