A LITTLE LESSON IN
ECONOMY
QUESTION. Suppose yoi have two men working for you. The first
you pay $1 a day; the second $2. The second man does three times as
much work as the flrBt. Which is cheaper for you?
ANSWER The second man because he gives you better value for
your money.
NOW TAKE LIGHTS. Oil lamps seem cheap when none of the dis
advantages are taken Into consideration. But for very little more you
can have electric lamps giving many times the light. Besides they
are clean, odorless, safe and convenient.
When you consider how little more you pay, and how much more
service you get, you cannot but agree that, at our present rates, elec
tricity furnishes the best and cheapest service. Phone Main 34 for
rates.

In an effort to minimize fatal result?
from what first appear to be only min
or accidents, the Southern Pacific com
pany, through Its chief Burgeon, Dr.
F. K. AInsworth, has ordered Installed
on the baggage cars, combination cars
and cabooses, what are known univer
sally as "first aid" packages. " Ever
since the railroads of the country first
became Interested in .first aid work,
the Southern Pacific trains have been
equipped with "first aid" kits, but
these were so large that when one
was opened only one or two were used
and several were left to become dirty
and unfit for medical use. r
The "first aid" packages contain
for one wound and a sufficient i.umber
of packages are placed In each car to
take care of a large number of wounds
should It happen that any grea: num
ber of persons Incur Injuries at tin
same time. Danger from train acci
dents, which has been" minimized to
such an extent during the last few
years by modern equipment and safety
devices, Is further diminished by hav
ing these "first aid" packages han3
at all times, and practically ai train
crews have become skilled In ren62r
lng the first aid work.
Qrcuit Judge J. W. Knowles this
morning directed a verdict in favor of
Mr. Pierera for $1,500 for damages sus
tained in the destructive fire of a year
or so ago when the Pierce warehouse
was fired by . a spark from the branch
line engine, entailing a loss of more
than $20,000. The Sun Insurance com
pany carried a policy of $1,500 on the
warehouse and contents but claimed
that because the warehouse was par
tially on the.O. (R. & N. right of way,
the insurance company was not held
liable; claimed that Mr. Pierce stored
hay when this was In violation of the
policy stipulations. These two con
tentions were offset by witnesses to
prove that the local agunt was aware
nf thA rrvnH'Hnnw Tioti ihn nnUrv-
was in effect. The court ordered a
verdict for Mr. Pierce.

ordinance in 1738 in the Interest of
the poorer classes against the monop

the sardine was a source of livelihood
to the Bretons. Joseph Clllln. whose
name is still revered in Nantes, first

something like a crisis in the sardine

nuisance, but the difficulty was over
