crew consist of cook, two porters,
and an electrician.
The First Place.
Pensacola is the first point in Flor

initial trip of the season having been
made to Atlanta, Ga, to attend the
Southern Medical Convention. The
equipment of the train received the
highest praise in Atlanta.

the rural population especially" said
DR.. Porter. ''The State Board of
Health is mailing out about 100000
pieces of literature year; most of it
is sent on request, and most of the re-
quests come from the towns at which
the train has stopped, showing that
the people are awakened to the i'm
portance of hygiene, and are earnestly
studying the science Of healthy liv-
ing.
''There is nothing on the train that
is not of the most practical value, or
which can not be put into effect with
little or no expense.
"Endeavoring to reach as many
people as possible, we stop at even the
smallest hamlets. We have stopped at
places where they were only fifty peo-
pie. Other places have a hundred
five hundred-even a thousand. We
stop at places two or three miles
apart and the people come out, read
the panels and listen to the demon
strator."
The Train.
Car number one, the living car for
the accommodation of the representa-
tives of the board, contains the office
in the observation end, four state
rooms, bath and toilets, diningroom
and kitchen. Like the other cars of
the train, it is heated with steam and
lighted with electricity generated by
a dynamo in car number two, and like
the others it is carefully screened
and ventilated.
Car No. contains in one end the
dynamo, driven by gasoline engine,
and the sleeping quarters for The spe-

Thompson, counsel for the Southern

before the joint congressional inves-

states rights would not be invaded if
the federal government had sole pow

conclusion on recent action of the

declared, interfered with the COM
merce of neighboring states.
He cited an order of the interstate
commerce commission realigning

he said, was held up six months and
its benefits denied while the Georgia
