q while.
With all of the proposed and en-
forced legislation of prices on the actual

1t is suggested by one who is always
a keen observer for opportunities to
make money, that there is traffic enough
between Linden and this city and Dodge
vile and this city to justify regular
auto lines. He observes that "Chauf-
feurs might have to furnish gasoline to
get their cars here, but there is pretty
sure to be enough benzine on board to
make the return trip without other
fuel. The patients from those towns
fill our sanitarums and, oddly as 1t may
seem, several appear the worse for
treatment.
