New York, the seeding Democrat can

more recent example, still freshly
in the minds of the electorate, in
1895 the Democrats who abandoned

COURTESY AS AN ASSET.

A harsh word turneth away cash. Is
an epigram recently coined by General
Manager H. ]. Slifer of the Chicago
Great Western railroad. In a letter
sent out to the employees of his com
pany he suggests that they make it a
point to give the patrons of the road
whatever information they seek and
to do this In an agreeable manner.
More than that, he says, 1t will be sat
lsfactory to the company If the en-
ployes not only give the information
sought, but volunteer something in
addition.
Mr.. slifer does not confne his good
advice to any particular class of en-
ployes. He tells engineers: IF you
are 'oiling round at station and a
foolish question Is asked. do not give
foolish reply" To train and station
employees he says: DO not get rep
utation for being buffers; not only
give civil replies. but intelligent ones
| If lady asks what is delaying train
the answer, Boards against US means
nothing to her" Mr.. Slifer says fur
Their in his circular letter:
IF there is one thing. with the pos
sible exception of the harassing feder-
1 al and state railway legislation, that
4 has proved annoying to railway COM
panies more than another and caused
the public TO look upon them with dis
dain and suspicion and consider them
Legitimate prey for all kinds of abuse,
1t is the discourtesy so frequently
found among railway employees, or
what is equally bad, indifference on
their part.
In filling positions requiring con-
contact with the public. there is no
easier way to get along with patrons
on the road-trayelers or shippers
than to give them all the information
for which they ask and volunteer
something in addition Such a course
cannot fail to make dealings with the
public more agreeable and pleasant
IMAM by following a contrary plan, and
the results to the company more
[ profitable than could be secured BY
maintaining an arbitrary and indif.
ferent attitude"
The travelling public owes Mr. SITTER
: vote of thanks for his letter In its
Interest. There has been marked i'm.
provement in the treatment of the
public by railway employees in recent
, years, but there is still room for bet.
terment in individual cases. Railway
managers generally would do we'll to
instruct their employees as Mr.. Sitter
has done.

THE MODERN WAY.

An epidemic of typhoid fever in st.

Der Of the Journal of the American
Medical Association. St Charles, a
town OF about $500 inhabitants, locat-

phoid during the eight months proceed
ing May, 1912, or approximately one
case for every seventy-f1ve Inhabitants.
A special representative Of the Journal.
an expert on epidemics, was sent to
investigate the case.
Examination of the water supply
showed it to be above suspicion. Care
full investigation Of the source Of the
milk supply OF the families in which
the cases Of typhoid had occurred
showed that of forty-two patients
known to have useo milk. thirty-nine
received their milk from two dairies,
and that in the other three cases in
lection was probably due to direct
contact Investigation of the diaries
showed that one of them also supplied
a certain community west of St
Charles, and that there had been a
number of cases Of typhoid among
these people. The milk itself was
found to be pure, but the bottles in
which the milk was delivered to the
customers were not properly cleaned
after using, and dirty bottles in
which the milk had been sent to the
homes of typhoid patients had beer
used for other customers without be
| ing properly sterilized.
AS soon as these facts were known
| the local health officer directed ths
milk dealers in the town to sterilize
their bottles by boiling them for II
least twenty minutes. AS soon as this
precaution was taken, the epidemic it
self Immediately ceased While the
epidemic itself was a comparatively
small one, only sixty cases being re
corded, it is important as showing thu
