The Pullman company announces
that after the war the old fashioned
diner will largely disappear, to be
replaced by hot and cold buffet, or
"Smorgasbord" car. Huge platters
of tempting dishes"-foods will be
piled on a center table, from which
the passengers will take their

railroads have even remote idea
what constitutes tempting Dishes"

mustard. OF course the war Is
largely responsible, but in peace
days we never once heard anybody
leave dining car exclaiming boy,
wasn't that dinner Knockout"

and neglecting the all-around gen.
eral education necessary to develop
the intelligent and sound citizens.
