CUss AND DISCUSS THE CAR SERVICE

After cussing and discuss-
ing Tacoma street car service
for more than an hour Tues
day, the city council, repre-
sentatives of tideflats work.
ers and Manager Bean of the
Il. II. & p. Go. agreed that
something ought to be done
to improve traffic On all car
lines, and especially the city
tideflats branch.
Manager Bean did not deny
that car service on his lines was
not up to standard, and declared
that his company was already re-
arranging schedules and putting
additional cars on the lines, to
improve conditions.
He took crack at the new
street car mems union by intimat-
ing that part of the bad service
was caused by the independence
Of the motormen and conductors.
"A year ago we had good disci-
lpline and good service In our
company" Bean told the council.
Now when we get a complaint
about a mOtorman running past
people on a street corner, or any
other complaint we have to ask
him in q nice, half-apologetic way,
lif he won't try to do better next
time"
At the conclusion of the long
session, in which the tideflats del
egates offered indiscriminate COM
plants against the municipal
street car line and the T. r. & p.
service, Mayor Fawcett announced
that he believed the city was as
much to blame as Beans company.
| We'll have to do something
right away to give the public bet
ter service" Fawcett told the
crowd.
At the outset of the discussion,
Mayor Fawcett blamed the public
works department for inadequate
transportation facilities.
Chief Clerk Bradley replied
that the public works department
had three men to supervise street
work, sewers, the municipal dock
and the municipal line
| Fawcett said that IL four trail
er cars were pulled by a motor car
and hauled back and forth on the
muny line during the morning
and evening rush hours, the
workmen would ell be accommo-
dated.
| Roy Fleming, business agent
for the painters union, declared
that a group of union men had
done some detective work" on
the muny line, and had found
that only one-half the fares were
being collected, by T. R. & P. con-
ductors on the city cars.
A. l.. Dickson, agent for the
shipyard laborers' union, declared
that T. r. & p. conductors and
motormen were quitting the COM
pany every day and going to the
shipyards.
Il have already found places
for 10 old-time street car men,
and have applications from 81
MORE" he said.
j. M. Duncan, secretary of the
Bus Drivers union, told the coun-
ell that the bus drivers of Taco
ma would be glad to operate city
jitneys and run across on the
tideflats to help the workers, but
complained that the city ordi-
nance IL so strict that It practi-
cally prohibits titneys from oper-
ating here. There are $50 bond
ed jitneys ready to run II the city

A New Treatment Given Without the
Consent or knowledge Of the
Drinker.


CLEVELAND, Ohio.-A woman who
lets man drink is foolish, says Drug
gist Brown, for no man who drinks
even q little bit is safe A woman can
break the drink habit in few weeks
for half what man spends on liquor
in the same time, and the drinker
need never know she did 1t. For the
sake and safety Of both stop the drink
habit in its beginning. Let the first
Whit of liquor on his breath be your
danger signal, but even If he is rum
soaked through and through do not
despair; he can be saved and it is
your duty to save him. Druggist
Brown knows the awful curse Of
strong drink because he himself has
been victim. A loving sister rescued
him from the brink Of a drunkard's
grave and kept her secret ten years,
then she told him how she did it. She
saved him from the demon drink, res
cued him from his own depraved self
by means of secret remedy. the for
mula of an old German chemist. To
save other families from the curse Of
drink and to help other victims out
of the murk and mire he now makes
the formula public. Any druggist can
help you If YOU long to save loved

pared tescum powders and drop a

Folly to Let Man Drink,
Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland,
Who Gives Home Remedy

drunkard is saved without knowing
why he lost the taste for strong drink.
One woman who used this prescrip-
ton on her husband says: ut Is going

liquor or used tobacco of any kind.
He seems already like a different
man. Tescurn has gained wonderful

Godsend. Just think, I have never
seen my husband sober for more than
IS hours in years and now it Is going
on one month since he had his last
drink"
Another one gratefully writes: Il
have used tescum powders on my hus-
band and find it one Of the greatest
cures in this world. He hasn't taken
a drink foraimost FIVE weeks and says
he never will. My home does not
seem like the same place and life
seems worth living. ] hope thousands
gain what I have. This has been a
good new year for me without drink

NOTE-Prepared tescum, referred
to above should not be given except
where it Is desired to destroy all
taste for alcoholic drinks. Women
who approve Of moderate drinking
and believe moderate drinkers safe
should give tescum when they see, as
most do in time, that the danger line
is plainly near. You take no risk with
