So why not take the train?
It’s safer. It’s more dependable.
You cant beat the im
proved travel comfort in
coaches and sleeping cars.
It’s a good thing movies
don’t have such restful
seats — most folks would
sure fall asleep.
Ever hear about the Free pick-
up-and-delivery of less than
carload freight? It’s a great
convenience to shippers and
receivers alike. Western rail
roads pick up at the door,
ship by fast freight, and de
liver to consignee’s door.
Railroad trains are running on
faster schedules these days.
Seems like the iron horse wants
to show these new streamlined
diesels that he can step out, too.
Both passenger and freight
schedules have been speeded up.
What’s more, the railroads
believe in “safety first."
Last year not one passenger
was killed in a train acci

London.—After an extended trial
lasting more than five years author
ities in the physiotherapy depart
ment of St. George’s hospital, Lon-
don, are satisfied they have devel-
oped a treatment for hay fever,
During the trial period the treat
ment has been successful in 99
per cent of the cases.
The treatment involves applica
tion by electricity of a coating of
ionized zinc to the inside of the nos
trils. Three or four applications
are given, after which the majority
of the patients are free from at
tacks of ordinary hay fever for a
year.
Precautionary applications
are given at the end of the year and
again a year later. Thereafter there
is no recurrence of the trouble.
Many cases were recorded in
which patients previously were un-
able to visit rural districts on ac-
count of severe attacks of hay fever.
They are now able to do so without
any ill effects after the treatment.
Visalia, Calif.—The local Sports
men’s association has devised a new

supply all ranchmen with black
berry sprouts, which in turn will
furnish the ranchers with blackber

birds.
