A simnla Antidots to Poison.

It is a valuable thing to understand
thoroughly what ample anddote to
take If one is so unlucky as to swallow
poison of any kind. Sweet oil is to be
found In nearly every house, however
humble, and half a pint Of it taken i'm
mediately is an effectual antidote to
almost all poisons. Any one with a
strong constitution should take a larger
quantity of this simple remedy.-Lon-

PUBLIC GARAGE
IN GRANT PARK

1T does not require a brilliant
imagination to foretell the time when
Chicago's loop will be so congested
with automobiles, if remedial meas.
ures are not taken in hand at once.
that the hauling of goods will be a
grave problem" says w. o. Duntley
president of the Chicago Pneumatic
Tool Co., and maker of Little Giant
Trucks. "Of course this condition
will help the motor truck manufac.
turers I'm one way, for, since the mo.
tor truck will carry two or three times
as much as horse and wagon vehicle
and occupies but half the space, horse
and wagon vehicles will be generally
supplanted by motor trucks. On the
other hand the efficiency of motor
trucking in the loop will be greatly
reduced. But the motor truck maker
will be the least of the sufferers. The
danger to pedestrians will be vastly
increased. the cost of doing business
in the loop will be raised and motor.
ing in the loop will be worse trial
and tribulation than It is now.
lnankS 10 our great autOmOD1le

must be poor indeed who does not
own one or does not hope to own one
in the near future. Therefore we can.
not hope to see less automobile traf.
fc and parking in the loop. but on the
contrary 1t is bound to increase by
leaps and bounds.
The zone system of parking auto.
mobiles which the police are now
whipping into shape will provide con.
siderable temporary relief but in
year or two conditions will be as
serious as ever.
Thousands of loop workers who can
afford to buy machine would do so
in short order If they could go and
come from work in It. Under present
conditions they must either leave
their machines at home or brave the
anger and penalties Of the police
and run the risk of damage and loss,
by parking them wherever they can
find an open spot. Such conditions

CHICAGO BANKERS
OBJECT TO PLAN

Chicago bankers oppose the pro.
posed ordinance now before the coun-
Gil for city supervision of private

The reasons advanced against the
passage of the ordinance are as fol.
lows:
I. Unprecedented.
2. Questionable constitutionality.
3. Would provide another excuse
for blocking proposed state legisla-
ton.
4. Would not provide for regulation

gained IL legislature does act this SEES.

(c)-In order to distribute RESPONSE.

OF course deter a great many from
buying automobiles.
IF Chicago would provide public
garage for the thousands of autos
that might use such facilities she
would clear the streets of the many
that now block traffic in every direc'
ton and win the unstinted praise Of
every loop automobilist, pedestrian
and business man.
Beneath the surface of Grant Park
extending from say Adams street
south to Harrison spacious public
garage could be built that could ac-
cOmmodate thousands of cars. 1t
could be built large enough to store
all the machines that are now parked
on downtown streets and allow for
the future demand for such facilities
A small charge could be levied for
the maintenance of such station
The initial cost of constructing 1t
would be repaid many times over by
the saving of time and convenience
to the community, because of the
freedom from congestion and in the
increased health and enjoyment of life
that this would mean to the many who
could then afford to own an automo
bile. AS the garage would be entire
ly out of sight beneath the surface
of the park 1t could in no way detract
from the City Beautiful plans but
would harmonic with Chicago's de-
sire to provide parks for the practical
use and comfort of her people. Grant
Park, the pretty breathing place which
the city fathers have thoughtfully pro-
vided amid the Crime and hustle Of
the greatest business center of the
world, would then perform double
function. Above ground would be the
rest and recreation grounds, the
