WILL INFORM PASSENGERS Pennsylvania Railroad Co. Issues Orders to Agents and Trainmen TO GIVE INFORMATION Concerning Operation of Trains—“ Guests of Railroad,” Says Bulletin. I For the convenience of passengers, I the following General Notice has been I Issued by the Northwestern Region I of the Pennsylvania Railroad to ticket | agents, conductors, brakemen and I others concerned: I "Whenever a serious interruption I to passenger traffic occurs, every ef- | fort should be made by agents, conI ductors and brakemen, to give passI engers the best information obtain- | able as to the cause and probable I duration of the delay. "Passenger trains operate on defln- | ite schedules which are the only guide the public has as to the time of arrival and departure of trains. Passengers realize, of course, that unforeseen conditions may interrupt traffic, but their plans are made according to published time tables and depend thereafter entirely upon actual train performance. "It must not be forgotten that' passengers are guests of the railroad at all times and are entitled to every i consideration of hospitality. Whenever they are subject to delay, there- ■ fore, the inconvenience to them should be lessened, as far as that is possible, by giving them the best information available as to the circumstances of the delay.” In order to carry out the policy outlined above, the following regulations will be observed: “At Stations —Ticket agents, when ; selling tickets to passengers for a train which is known at the time to ( be late, will politely inform the purchaser of that fact, giving him the best information obtainable as to the probable time of the train’s arrival. "Whenever such information is available, all passengers waiting at . stations for a train that is late will be informed of that fact and of the ! probable time of its arrival. A simple announcement is all that is nec- , essary, but it will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated. . “On Trains —Whenever a serious . delay occurs to a train enroute, steps will be taken by the train crew to inform the passengers on the train of the cause and probable duration of : the delay, so that those who desire . may communicate enroute with persons expecting to meet them at their destination. When cause for delay is not known or available to the train crew in charge of train suffering delay, the necessary information will be furnished to the crew by the I Train Dispatcher.” Superintendent, M. F. Worthman of the city schools went to Indianapolis this morning to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the State Teachers’ Association. MERMAID FROCK STARTLES ENGLISH London, April 16.—The freak fashions which inevitably accompany springlime madness promise this season to surpass anything that has gone before in the way of daring and novelty. Dame Fashion has been having a confab with Father Neptune and the net resultis decidedly “fishy.” One of them is the mermaid frock, which is a close-fitting affair entirely composed of pailettes which overlap one another in the approved flsh-stßle style. These pailettes are of iridescent shades of silver, green and blue. No trimming or ornament of any kind is worn with the frock and corsets are doffed so that the sinuous mermaid effect is complete. Another fishy fad is the girdle composed of painted sea-shells. With this is worn a head-dress of similar design or maybe, of tinted pearls. For those whose systems cannot assimilate too much sea-breeze, a few Hawaiian modes, have been thrown in. The one which is likely to excite most comment is Hawaiian pkirt. This extends from tfie waist to just below the knee and is composed of coarse, matted, hay-colored fringe and has the ragged primitive effect of the garments of South Sea Islanders. WAS IN BED THREE DAYS Mrs. Josie Reed. 217 N. Etfter St.. Tulsa, Okla., writes: “I was in bfed three days with'my back. :I took Foley Kidney Tills and in two days was at my work again. 1 cannot praise your medicine too much.” Foley Kidney Pills stop bladder irregularities and strengthen the kidneys. They help eliminate from the system the poisons that cause backache, rheumatic, pains, sti joints, sore muscles, swollen hands and feet, puffiness under the eyes.— Sold everywhere.

They are contributing funds by . self-denial of some favorite food. The up-to-date boarding schools are the leaders in the girls’ enterprise. Hundreds of the Baldwin school, at | Nanchang. have pledged themselves to go without meat and give tlie.equiv-I albnt in money to the famine fund. | This particular firm of self-denial is I spreading all over China. The results already show that thousands of children will be saved through the sacrifice of these young women. I This is the principal means by i which Chinese girls are helping the nation in its crisis, but it is by no means the only one. In the series of | “tag days” in this city, Shankhai, I Tientsin and other towns, young Chi- I nese girls of the best families went openly on the streets —an unheard of thing—and "tagged” pedestrians and auto ahd 'ricksaw parties. Large sums ■ were raised by this method. PRAISES THEM TO HIS FRIENDS Backache is a symptom of weak or . disordered kidneys. Stiff and painful , joints, rheumatic aches, sore muscles, puffiness undep the eyes are others. j These symptoms indicate that the ; kidney and bladder need help to do the j work of filtering and casting out from | the system poisons and waste products that cause trouble.
