Conductors. - Too many folks
blame the street car service on the
conductors. They can't help it! A
motorman and conductor must take
the crowd that comes. And too often
said crowd has too many grouches
among it. And consequently the life
of some conductors is often what
Sherman said war was.
A conductor is only human and
acting under orders. A big majority
of them put themselves out to be nice
to our women folks. Let's give 'em
credit for that.
1t does a man good to see a con
lean way out of his place and help an
elderly lady or a cripple on his car.
The conductor doesn't have to do
that. That is one of the moves that
indicates that he IS human.
When the rear end pilot of street
car says, Take the next car" it is
because he has got all he can handle.
There should be another car along
very shortly. If there isn't, it is the
fault of the service. The conductor
knows there SHOULD be another car
in a minute or so-that's why he tells
you to wait.
Folks get sore-in fact, hotter than
the deuce-if a conductor makes a
mistake. To err is human. If they
never pulled mistake they wouldn't
be conductors. They'd be reformers.
Of course, there are always some
bad ones in ever set. of people, but
the percentage with conductors is no
greater than with any other class.
Anyway, give the conductor his
share of fair play and you'll get it
back.
And 1 should imagine a Good
morning" sounds good to them now
and then.

Most Dangerous Of Minor Ailments.
OF the minor ailments a cold is
by far the most dangerous, not in
itself but the serious diseases it SO
often leads to. Pneumonia and con-
sumption always start with a cold.
When you have cold you are much
more likely to contract the infectious
diseases such as diphtheria. scarlet
fever and whooping cough. Colds are
easily cured, in fact, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of this most common ailment,
and is pleasant and safe to take. Why

To participate in the replanning Of
a city is civic duty Of the highest
character. As In no other way can a
city be so greatly benefited, those who
take part In such movements serve not

Often single public spirited citizen

can initiate such movement. At an
informal dinner the subject may be
brought up and the first steps taken
that Is, to interest few men Of promi

who are willing to lend the weight OF
their names to the undertaking, while
the active interest Is still manifested
