NO LIQUOR SOLD
ON PENNSY TRAINS
Lines East Of Pittsburg Cease Dis
pensing lntoxicants To
Passengers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 17.-No longer
will the pressure OF an electric button
and the softly given command to the
dusky porter who answers the sum-
mons bring liquid refreshments to pas
sengers on trains OF the Pennsylvania
railroad east of Pittsburgh. The days OF
drinking anything stronger than lem
onade on Pennsylvania trains are over,
and highballs, cocktails, cold bottles
and sparkling glasses will remain only
as a memory to patrons Of the dining
car in the rear
Orders have been issued by the rail-
road that no more liquor Is to be sold
on cars operating on its lines east OF
Pittsburgh, and dining car porters are
passing through the troublesome epoch
In their lives as consequence.
Every passenger with a thirst wants
to know why he cannot buy something
that will relieve him Of II, and every
passenger must be told at least twenty
times that there Is not a drop Of thirst
chaser aboard the train.
II Is believed that the action of the
Pennsylvania railroad may be a fore
runner of the entire abolition of liquors
from the trains in this State. 1t was
rumored last night that similar orders
will be issued shortly by the Philadel-
phia and Reading. Jersey Central.
Lehigh Valley roads, and that within
the next six weeks It will be impossible
to buy intoXicants on the trains Of any
OF these roads

ENGINEERS CHIEF
ENDS STATEMENT

to Explain Side of
Railroads.

NEW YORK. July 1z-warren s.
Stone, chief of the locomotive engineers,
has completed the oral presentation Of
the case 0f the drivers of fifty Eastern
railroads who are seeking shorter hours
and higher pay before the arbitra ton
commi sion at Manhattan Beach. B. A.
Wortangton, president of the Chicago
and Uton, spokesman for the railroads,
has begun his. argument in reply.
NJ. Worthington said there is no dis
petition on the part of the railroads to
Dake conditions Of service for engineers
/r other employees unduly burdensome
HE declared there is no higher class of
service In the world than that of the
engineers.
I'VE have, however, an honest differ
ence OF opinion with these men," he de-
clared. The engineers now demand a
standard rate of pay upon an Increased
basis and certain standard rules which,
when applied against the calendar year
OF 1911, would have increased the engi-
neers compensation on all railroads S.
1854, or IN per cent"
Mr.. Worthington said Standardization
OF the wages of engineers would have
to be followed by adjustments of wages
paid to firemen and other employees, and
the total increase in wages would
amount approximately to $50 900 OOO

LACK OF SANITARY
MEASURES CHARGE
AGAINST DENTISTS
DR.. Marshall a Severe Critic
in Recent Medical
Journal.

DR.. John S. Marshall, U. s. A., chang
es the dental profession, in a recent
article, with gross disregard of ordln-
ary methods of antisepsis. Dentists
admit that what he charges is true
with reference to soma practitioners,
but assert that It does nnt apply 10 all
dentists and that physicians are fire.
quently as careless as dental operators.
Operating rooms in colleges are criti-
cised by DR.. Marshall for the lack Of
aseptic apparatus He says that dem
tai students are taught all methods of
guarding against the transmission of
disease and are frequently not given
practical illustrations of the teaching.
Many more, he says. forget their teach
ings as soon as they leave school.
The same instruments are used IN
the mouths of many patients. To rem
der them aseptic and guard against the
Transmission of disease, the instruments
should be sterilized after the work on
each patient Is finished. This, says
the writer, is seldom done.
"Enameled furniture and zinc paint
ed walls prove of no value II the moro
important matters of local and personal
asepsis ore ignored" writes DR.. Mar
shall. "The charge often made by
physicians that tonsi!itis, diphtherla
and tuberculosis frequently have been
transmitted from one patient to an
other by unclean, septic dental instru-
ments is shame and rcproach to
modern dentistry"
The article appears in the current
unrnber OF the Journal Of the American
Medical Association.

to 4.
As an appropriate climax to the many
thrills experienced by the spectators
during the game. Lieut.. Stanley M.
Rumbol gh, of the Fort Myer team, was
thrown from his horse in the last few
minutes of play. The young army Of
ficer was in the center of play when he
lost his balance and rolled under his
pony.
For several seconds the spectators held
their breeths as the army officer lay
PROSTATE on the ground. 1t was thought
that he had been either seriously hurt
or killed. But as unexpected as was
his tumble was the resurrection OF the
less by the fall and on regaining his
composure leaped to his feet and pur-
sued his pony amid the applause Of the
audience.

Little Folks Eager to
Go to Chevy Chase Lake

Not only are grown-up folks taking
advantage Of the unusual attractions
offered at Chevy Chase Lake this sum-
mer. but It is noticeable how many little
folks are there each night. Chevy
Chase Lake is indeed a family resort.
When the management provided the
dancing pavilion. bowling alleys, shoot
ing galleries. and many other attractions
for ''grown-ups," they also provided
swings and a merry-go- round for the
youngsters. And of course the Marine
Band appeals to all ages.
Musical programs are rendered nightly
from 7:3o to 3, after which hour dane
ing seems to be the most popular attrac-
ton until closing time. There is no
charge made for the use OF the pavilion;
the only restriction being that no
freak" dancing shall be INDUCED In.
For those more romantically inclined,
who find three a crowd there are COM
Portable boats on the lake, which are
growing more popular as the season
advances.
The car service, day and night, is run
on schedule time. except when inter
fered with by severe storm like that
of last Sunday.

Don't Neglect Your
Lungs in Summer

Many people who are afflicted with
weak or diseased lungs are apt to
neglect them in warm weather because
they feel temporarily relieved.
This is just the time to begin a Wig
orous fight against the disease. as the
weakened tissues need stimulation in
warm. relaxing weather, and will re-
spond readily.
The best preparation for those af-
1icted with weak lungs, or chronic
coughs. is a Swiss discovery called Siro-
lin, which, has been remarkably sue
cessful in this country and abroad.
Information about Siroun can be Sc
cured in this country from the Sirolin
Co., 22s w. Broadway, New York City.

TAFT IS SCORED In
WHITE SLAVE CASE
Pardon Of Woman Convicted In
Utah Brings Protest
From West.

President Taft, who pardoned Mrs.
May e. Brown, the first woman con-
yicted, under the white slave law, has
been severely attacked In Utah for his
action. The woman was sentenced for
Ave years at Salt Lake City. Utah, for
enticing sixteen-year-old girl to Idaho
for immoral purposes.
Mrs. Brown Is supposed to have won
her pardon through a poetical appeal
made to the President in which she
petitioned for executive clemency and
promised TO lead a better life.
Those who have been identified with
tie case speak of II as one of the most
hagrant violations of the white slave
law that has come to the attention Of
the Department Of Justice.
The President, It is said, did not read
her appeal, never investigated the case
and overrode the recommendation OF
the Attorney General and pardoned the
woman.
