CASH COUPON BOOK
FORM OF TICKET
Takes Place Of the Old Mile.
age System on F. E: C. R'y.

What is believed will be more con-
venient and satisfactory than mileage
books will be placed on sale August
1st (today), by the Florida East
Coast Railway in the form of cash
coupon tickets or books.
In general form the new ticket is
similar to the mileage book which has
been in use for many years, but the
coupons of the, book are each valued
at five cents instead of one mile of
transportation as in the mileage book,
In fact the new coupon books arc
very similar to currency, acceptable of
course only for railroad transporta-
ton. Their great virtue lies in the
simplicity of paying for tranpsorta
ton. In this there are many advan-
tages that will be appreciated by the
travelling public.
While the book naturally repre-
sents a value of $50, it will be sold
for $25; thus saving the purchaser
$500 on every thirty dollars worth Of
transportation used.
The book will be honored by any
Florida East Coast Railway ticket Of
flee for the purchase of transporta-
'tion at regular tariff for fares to any
Florida East Coast Railway station
If presented on the train, the con-
Guctor will compute the cost of trans
portation and abstract coupons to
cover the cost of the ticket, issuing a
regular train ticket for the trip the
same as if cash had been paid. 1t is
believed that the cash coupon book
will become so popular with the trav-
cling public that application for the
mileage tickets will soon be a thing
Of the past.
Among other advantages which the
new coupon book will possess is that
it simplifies estimate to passengers
in travelling over various branches d
the road where the rates vary. Fol
instance on the Key West Extension
where the authorized rate per mile is
four cents, and where mileage tickets
are not accepted, the new form OF
ticket may be used and thus eliminate
the present unsatisfactory condition.
With the new book it is a simple
cash problem, instantly and satisfac-
torily explained and understood.
The cash coupon is accepted on all
sections Of the Florida East Coast
Railway, and unsused portions of the
tickets are redemable the same as
mileage books, but in fare proportion.
ate to the price paid fo~ the same
The introduction of this new form Of
ticket is but another step to improve
conditions for the TRAVELLING public
and will doubtless prove exceedingly
popular 1t is an innovation that will
win immediate popularity owing to
the many advantages it contains, anC
which will be readily grasped by the
patrons of the road.-St. Augustine

Bread Tranchoirs.

There is no city in the world where
SO much bread is consumed as in Par
is. 1t is estimated that every inhab-
liant eats one pound day on the
average. Even in past centuries the
French, especially Parisians, had a
horror of stale bread. And as in those
days people manufactured their own
bread they had curious way of max
ing it palatable. Strange as ii may
seem, the bread prepared, huge round
or square slabs, was used rs dish,
on which the meat was carved and
bore the name of "tranchoirs." or
"tailloirs." The juice of the meat hav-
ing penetrated into the bread impaired
a pleasant taste and prevented it from
becoming dry.-Baker's Weekly.
