LEAVE NONE WITH TICKETS
Not Necessary for Patrons of Wis
consin Railroads to Pay Their
Fares on Trains.

MIlwaukee.-"We never start our
trains from any depot while tickets
are being purchased" said Charles
Thompson of the Chicago & North
western railway in reply to a query
as to whether a train would depart
while number of people were buy
ing tickets to take that train
at is and has been a rule of this
company for many years not to leave
passengers who are buying tickets
at stations. Some people seem to
think that the only way they are sure
to get away on time, if they are late,
is by buying tickets on the train
When they do that, under the law
which was passed by the last legis-
lature, they must pay an additional
10 cents. The Northwestern, as we'll
as other railroads, never starts a
train from any depot until the con-
ductor has been assured by the ticket
seller that all who wished to go on
his particular train have purchased
tickets"
So if a passenger is able to take a
train at all he will forfeit no chances
by taking time to buy ticket.

Spread OF tuberculosis.

Direct approval of the campaign for
the sale of Red Cross seals has been
given by the American Federation of
Labor, according to an announcement
by the National Association for the

the American Federation of Labor a

way aided the movement for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
throughout the United States and
Canada; and,
Whereas, the American National
Red Cross has been in the past and
is now making an especial effort,
through the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals, to secure funds to carry
on the war against tuberculosis, and
by means of the fund raised in this
manner has been able to do much eff
