PULLMANs DENY RATE CHARGES
Fight 25 Per Cent Reduction Asked
by Railway Board.

1t will be remembered that John
Dawson, attorney for the Kansas rail-
way board, started a suit some time
ago against the Pullman company for
25 per cent reduction in the rate for
upper berths on their cars. Dawson
made certain allegations in his petition
inaugurating the suit regarding the
discomforts of the upper berth and
the disproportion that existed between
the rates for day travel or for lower
berths and the rates for upper berths.
The Pullman company attorneys have
made reply to Dawson in which they
deny all his allegations and refute his
arguments, standing up for their up
per berths in the following fashion:
This defendant admits that it Oper-
ates standard Pullman sleepers on its
line between points in the state of
Kansas and points in other states. 1t
denies that said Pullman cars are not
patronized during the day to the same
extent as at night and denies that the
passenger mileage is at least twice as
great at night as during the day 1t
admits that the charge for seat in
Pullman car by day is less than that
for a berth at night, but denies that
the charge for, or value of, the day
service is but one-half that for the
night service. This defendant denies
that the service of the upper berths
is not worth more than one-half that
for the lower berths and denies that
there is any difference in value be-
tween the upper and lower berths. 1t
alleges that the upper berth is as suit
able and convenient for sleeping pur-
poses as the lower berth: that 1t is as
roomy. as we'll ventilated and comfort
able at night as the lower berth; that
during the day time the occupants of
the upper and lower berths have the
same privileges, comforts, convent
ences and service and the charge for
the upper berth should be, as 1T is, the
70, he berth

Grape--Nuts
FOOD
Ready--Cooked, Delicious
and Nourishing

In making up lunch for picnickers,
some form of substantial food that can
not easily be injured in transit should
be supplied, and the most ideal article
for that purpose is Grape-Nuts. This
food comes in Is cent package, is
already thoroughly cooked and can be
used either dry or with the addition
of some milk or cream.
Grape-Nuts food is used by some
epicures in frying fish, for it adds a
delightful favour and is naturally SUI
perior to the ordinary crumbed
crackers or corn meal for this pur-
pose
= In addition to the convenience of
Grape-Nuts food, it's highly concen-
trated food value should not be lost

CHRISTMAS CARDS FATHER.
British Artist Originated This Form of

Greeting In 1894.
Some day surely a grateful monu

peace and good will TO the world and

a writer in Tit-Bits
In 1914 Mr. Dobson, who later be-
came a famous member of the Royal
academy, was a young man earning a
modest income as master of the gov
ernment School of Design at Birming
ham. One evening in December in.
stead of writing his usual letter of
Christmas good wishes to q friend it
occurred to him to substitute a pic
tOrial greeting, and, taking a piece of
card about twice as large as a modern
postcard, he began to draw on it, In
the center of the three panels into
which he divided his design he sketch
ed a family group raising glasses to
the health of distant friends amid a
seasonable environment of holly and

This card Mr. Dobson dispatched to
his friend, giving it no further thought
The friend. however, was delighted
with his novel and artistic Christmas
greeting and showed it everywhere
proudly, to the equal admiration of his
acquaintances. Everybody begged for
a similar card, and in the following
December the amiable Mr. Dobson
etched another design and this time
had it Autographed and sent out cop
fes by the score. In the following
year he had several imitators, and the
Christmas card was at last launched
on the tide of popular favor. although
even then if Mr.. Dobson had been told
that his modest card of 1914 would
have 100000 descendants sixty-five
years later in Great Britain alone he
would probably have thrown up his
hands in amazement and incredulity.
