A TROLLEY SLEEPING CAR.

The Illinois Traction COMPANY
better known as the Mckinley sys-
tenl-has added several new sleeping
cars to its equipment and will soon
have them il use on its trolley lines
between Peoria, Springfield and East
st. Louis. The Springfield Register
gives the following description OF one
OF the cars, on exhibition in that city.
The car IS beautiful and most com
modious. The comfort of passengers
has evidently been kept constantly in
mind by the architect. There are
large and perfectly equipped toilet
rooms, rest rooms and twenty sleep
ing compartments equipped with every
convenience imaginable. Lights are
supplied in each berth and each COM
partn2ent has a private ventilatilg ap-
paratus, which may be operated by
the passengers An iron locker to
which the occupant of each berth is
given a key and in which money and
valuables may be placed for safe keep
ing is a novel and most sensible con
venience.
The berths are equipped with box
mattresses and springs and vita mod
ern and sanitary bedding. The floor
of the car is padded SO that the nois 2
of running wheels may not disturb
passengers.
The woodwork is of polished ma
hogany, beautifully blended in design.
When the berths are folded back there
is ample room in the car for passen-
gers. The cars will be run at night
only"
Possibly one of the most attractive
features of the new service will be
the plates of warm rolls and cups of
hot coffee which will be served to
patrons of the road who travel in the
sleepers, free of cost.

DETERRENT CUTS OF BEE.

H. S. Grindley has an interesting |
article in an eastern publication show
ing the comparative nutritive value /
of the different cuts of beef. He says:
The meat of the rump steak and
that of the flank boil are equally
wholesome, nutritious and efficient in
giving strength and energy to the hui
man body and, in every way, just as
good as the most expensive tenderloin
steak and prime rib roast, except that
the latter give certain monetary
qualification to the palate which the
former do not, to such an extent"
He then compares the amounts of
nutritive material one may purchase
for fifty cents in different cuts of beef
at ordinary retail prices.
He shows that fifty cents invested
in porterhouse at twenty-eight cents
per pound will purchase about 18
pounds This 1.8 pounds will contain
Sc pound of food nutrients having a
fuel value of 1929 calories.
The fifty cents spent in runp steak
\ at twelve cents pound would pur-
chase AZ pounds. This AZ pounds of
rump steak would contain 1.4G pounds
of nutrients, having a fuel value of
1892 calories.
In other words, says Mr.. Grindley,
''for the same amount of money we
should get in the rump steak 2.1
times as much protein and 2.6 times
as much fat as we would get in the
porterhouse. and the fuel value of the
former would be % times as great as
that of the latter"
Again, he shows that if we were
satisfied with flank boil" at seven
cents a pound in place Of a prime rit
roast at twenty cents pound, we
would get "a times as much protein
and "a times as much fat, possessing
a fuel value three times as great, fol
the same amount of money as We
should get from the prime rib roast
To get the full force of this VIZ
should remember that proteins form
muscle tendons, blood and nerves
The fats serve as a source of energ,
in the form of heat and muscular ac
? tiyity.
Mr. Grndley says further that sey

be bought with fifty cents. win Civ

WANT NATIONAL LICENSE.

The American Warehousemen' AS
sociation is organized to promote ma
tional legislation with reference to the
cold-storage business. The argument
made is that goods are stored and
shipped through various states and
therefore the government should I'M
dertake the business of license and
regulation of the cold-storage houses
themselves
Interesting testimony is given as %
the time in which foodstuffs are left
in storage after being placed in them
and it appears that, beginning with
the storage of eggs in April, the last
are usually withdrawn by the follow
ing February and that If put into the
warehouse in good condition they
come out OF it in that condition, suf-
fering but little in quality from the
practice of storage.
1t is contended, of course, that stor-
age helps regulate and keep prices
steady and enables the people to have
such supplies nearly all the year
around, when ordinarily they would
be limited closely to the season OF
production or to high prices because
of costliness of ancient methods of
carrying perishable goods into the
non-productive season.
Newspaper comment on the purposes
! CT the association is generally favor
able, but word of dissent is voiced
by the Buffalo News. which suggests
that the idea of going to Washington
for nearly everything that can be
thought of is getting encouragement
to degree that may well cause any
citizen to have doubts Of its wisdom
The News comedies that congress has
power to regulate commerce between
! the states, but declares that to hole
that cold-storage warehouse in {
particular city is part of that bust
ness is to go to the extreme of in
depreciation in favor of the centra
power.

WHY NOT?

The next state legislature will be
asked for an appropriation for the
Keokuk Commercial club for its adj
yertising fund The club is engaged IN
advertising Keokuk in eastern mag
azines and has not sufficient funds for
the purpose. 1t is believed that the
members of the legislature Will take
readily to the plan of having the
state furnish the funds for this pur-
pose because OF the general good
that viii como to the state in this
manner
If the foregoing paragraph were al
lowed to appear without explanation
the newspapers of the state would en-
ter vigorous protest. Keo,luk would
be seoffed at for its pretensions and
rebuked for its impudence. 1t would
be reminded that there are other cities
in the state equally worthy OF recog-
milton AID an appropriation, and all
the community would gain from the
proposal would be a collection of care
fully prepared essays on the monu-
mental character of its cheek. Yet
the above paragraph tells. with a
change OF names, what the Greater
Des Moines Committee proposes 70
ask of the legislature for the benefit
OF Des Moines.
If the Greater Des Moines Commit
tee is warranted in asking an appro-
priation from the Legislature for its
advertising fund why isn't the Keokuk
Commercial Club warranted in asking
like sum from the legislature for
the purpose of advertising Keokuk?
II not. why not?
