RAILROADS OBEY NEW LAW

Railroads throughout the country
are speedily complying with the new
sanitary regulations made compulsory
BY q number of the legislatures. The
former practice on the part of the big
corporations to oppose legislative
action by injunction has been aband-
oned with general alacrity to con-
form with public opinion.
The Burlington system has taken
the lead in the installation of indi
vidual drinking cups on all its lines
north and west. Though the new
law affects the Burlington only in
Illinois and Kansas, the officials de-
cided to supply all its patrons in
every state with the new individual
c0ps.
Special automatic devices have
been installed so that every car will
be furnished with an apparatus to
supply travellers with the individual
cups. The individual paper drinking
cup is made of pure cellulose. 1t
folds fat and can be carried in pocket,
purse or satchel.
P. +, Eustis, passenger traffic man
ager of the Burlington system, has
personally directed the installation of
the automatic devices. He said:
"For some time Wisconsin has had
the ban on the o-called death cup,
it being customary on trains running
through the state of Wisconsin to
have the porter remove the drinking
cups at the northern or southern
boundary OF tho state and replace
them after the train had traversed the
other boundary line. The Burling-
ton system, seeing the wisdom OF
such measure determined not ouly
to comply with the law with reference
to these individual states, but to ex-
tend it's application everywhere on the
system. The individual drinking CUP
with the proper safeguards is being
installed iu all Burlington stations as

week in the city for the purpose of
sizing up the situation locally in ref
erence to the Hot Springs Sanitarium
and to cultivate a cordial relationship
with our people. IT is his desire that
there should be a reciprocal feeling
existing between the future manage.
ment of the company and the citizens.
When the new company takes charge
of the property it is with the intention
Of becoming an integral part of the
business community and taking an
active Interest in such public matters
as pertain to the best interests of the
city. They come here with the pur-
pose Of making money out Of the
proposition and to make money for
the community in general as their i'm
vestments Will be thus mutually bene-
fetal. In order to accomplish these
conditions there should be the earnest
support of the local people, for in
this concerted action there will come
out successful results to all. The
| impression formed of those who are
interested in the promotion of the
new company is that of straight for
! ward business methods and intentions.

Everybody is presumed to know his

applies to certain matters pertaining to
the railway accommodations. On Mon

room was almost at a premium. The
same was true on the morning

that when excursion rates are on that

With two in seat is not the most lux
urious one and when to this is added a
a third party sitting on the arm OF
the seat bobbing to and fro 1t Is
only the more wearlsome. With all the
open cars on the track at Golden it
would seem the part Of wisdom to have
one in reserve here so that when the
