MORAL DISABILITY
BROUGHT FARE BOX
TO STREET CARS
Receiver Whitridge Explains
Presence of Cash Collectors
in Refunding Change.

The housekceper Of a city oficlai
dropped a silver quarter IN lieu OF a
nickel into the cash box OF a Third ave.
nue. car. Realizing ner mistake and
making a demand ror her change, the
conductor said he was powerless 20
make restitution.
Whatever COOS into that box, Madam"
he said. remains there, as far as I am
concerned. Had you handed me the
quarter I could have mad change. II I
give You twenty cents, l will be out that
amount"
The city Official wrote TO Receiver
Whitridge r%ecit!ng the incident. In the
following mail he received from Mr..
Whitridge " dimes and the following
letter:
Il enclose 10 you the twenty cents
called for by the voucher OF the con-
ductor. The reason why that inan-
cial transaction could not have been
concluded on the car platform is.
that owing to the disabilities OF most
OF the people to take the position of
conductor-which In some cases is
moral and others intellectual-it has
been found best to have a fare box
TO which the conductor cannot have
access. and therefore a quarter once
dropped in the box Is gone beyond
recall.
1--WE have been trying a box In
which the coin when dropped in reg
listers, and after having thus record
ed itself. may be obtained by the
conductor for the purpose of maxi
ing change, but most OF our faro
boxes are built on the first prin-
ciple.
II am sorry your h~ousekeeper was
inconvenienced. but as you will see
from the enclosed twenty cents I am
still ~endeavoring to do right.

tWHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP2

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and 1 thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1T all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandrun and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth Of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

flying change in my condition. The ter
rible weakness that formerly pros
trated me after few hours OF work,
was perceptibly lessened and is now
only a memory-it never returns.

remarkable intelligence AID Judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and other countries
in minding nocks of sheep and thousands of dogs
today doing mems ork in this field. Similar

by dogs in assisting to drive cattle to market or
to the railroad yards and even in the more deli

farm house the mail and the daily paper. This
Is big time-saver for the farmer when. as is so
often the case, the R. F. D. box is located

Some persons have predicted that the
time will come in America when some of our
farmers will employ dogs as they do in Holland
and other foreign countries to draw the carts OF
milk the creameres and do other work that
entrust to horses, but this prediction is not
generally accepted because of the great distances
involved In this country However, there is no

This is accomplished by breeding blooded dogs

of ten the farmer and his family could not drop
contentedly off to sumber at night without the
assurance that dogs are on watch to
give quick warning of anything out of the or

The dog the farm helps in a variety Of ways
but it is question after all whether his great
est value does lie in the companionship he
affords. The farmer and the farmers wife, par

animaf--prove verbally patient under childish ty-
ranny and ready to join in any diverting
project. And, since most people consider big
dogs the best companions, the farmer is fortu-
nate liz his ability to choose with reference to
such preference. The city living in a house
in row or. worse yet, cooped up in fiat, finds
the term house dog" synomous with small size,
but in the country, where the average home has
large lawn and the dwelling has wide porches,
there need be no line of discrimination drawn be-
tween the house dog and the -out doors dog"

farm dog as companion is the worth of the serv-

because of the diverse responsibilities of this
