DATING THE RAILROAD SAND

Topeka travelling man sued the
Chicago Rock Island and Pacific rail
road for 81, 900 for damages accrulng
to himself when he refused to pay 10
d cents FOR, q depot sandwich which he
was unable TO eat on account OF its
I age and general hardihood. He was

The railroad was wise, for the rail-
4 road sandwich is a scandal md in
many localities should be the subject
Of legislation. It would be impossible
TO tell how many perfectly good dlges
ttonss have been ruined by It. Some
States have adopted the precaution OF
1 requiring that all eggs be stamped
with te date upon which the hens lay
ssthen. This could be applied to the
RAILROAD SAND wiches, with but little
trouble. When a man stepped up to
sa railroad lunch counter then he
could state Just the vintage Of sand.
witch he wanted. Ifshe wanted 1911
( sandwich hescould satisfy himself by
looking at the certified date stamped
on the wrapper. II he wanted a 1908
sandwich he could do the same, and
eSenlif he preferred one made in 1876
he could doubtless be accommodated
In a good many railroad lunch rooms.
Then everybody would be satisfied
and there could be no damage suits.
When man calls for a 1911 sand.
%ichg now and the waiter hands him
one which was made before the Civil
war, byinistake, It is apt to cause
hard feelings allSaround.
Something should be done about, the
