Free Drinking Cups.

Washington, D. c., April 26-Ar-
rangements have been made by the
Southern Railway to furnish sanitary
individual drinking cups to passen-
gers on all trains and a large supply
of cups of the collapsible paper type
has been ordered. AS soon as the
cups have been received each con-
ductor will be furnished with a sup
ply and any passenger desiring a cup
will receive one free of charge on ap-
plication to the conductor.
Furnishing drinking cups to passen-
gers on the large number of trains
operated by the Southern Railway
will involve a substantial expenditure
which is being undertaken to provide
for the convenience Of patrons of the
railway. All common drinking cups
have been removed from trains in
compliance with United States Gov
eminent regulations and the statutes
and ordinances of many states and
municipalities.
Hereafter passengers on Southern
Railway trains will be put to no in
convenience or expense in regard to
drinking water and at the same time
will not be subject to any possible in
lection through the use Of the COM
mon drinking cup.
