RAILROAD EMPLOYES HUST SHOW COURTESY

Director General ITAtfoo Issues Spe cific Order On Relation With the Public.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Railroad employes were especially -ordered by Director General Mo A dob today to show courtesy in dealings with the public, and to cease excusing* train delays and otlun errors, with the plea that "Uncle Sat^i is running the railroads now.** "The puTVTtc "be damned* policy "will in no circumstances be tolerated on the railroads under control," said the director general's order addressed to "all employes in the railroad service of the United State#."

The order follows: "Complaints have reached me from time to time that employes are not treating che public with as much consideration and courtesy under government control of the railroads as under private control. I do not know how mnch courtesy was accorded the public under private control, and I have no basis, therefore, for accurate comparison. I hope, however, that the reports of discourtesy under government administration of the railroads are incorrect, or that they are at least confined to a relatively few cases. Whatever may be the merits of these complaints, they draw attentioft to a question which is of the utmost importance in the management of the railroads.

Discourtesy Inexcusable.

'Tor many years it was popularly Relieved that 'the public be damned' policy was the policy of the railroads under private control. Such a policy is indefensible, either under private control or government control. It would be particularly indefensible under public control, when railroad employes are the direct servants of the public. 'The* public be damned' policy will not be tolerated on the railroads under government control. Courtesy costs nothing, and when it is dispensed it makes frien of the public and adds to the self-respect of the employe. "My attention has also been called to the fad that employes have sometimes offered as an excuse for their shortcomings, or as a justification for delayed trains or other difficulties the statement that 'Uncle Sam is running the railroads now," or 'These are McAd oo's orders,' etc. Nothing could he mure reprehensible than statements of thi« clyxracter and nothing could be more hurtful to the success of the railroad administration or to the welfare of railroad employes themselves. No doubt, those who have made them have done so thoughtlessly in most instances. but the harm Is just as great if a thing of this sort is done thoughtlessly as if it is d(5he deliberately.

Discredits Government.

"There are many people who for partisan or selfish purposes wish government operation of the railroads to be a failure. Every employe who is •discourteous to the public or makes excuses or statements of the kind I have described is helping these partisan or selfish interests to discredit government control of railroads. "Recently the wages of railroad employes were largely increased involving an addition to railroad operating expenses of more than $475,000,000 per annum. In order to meeting this increase the public has been called upon

BOOZE IN MEDICINES TO FOOL THE SICK

Read the label. You can bank on it If the label reads 18 to 20 per cent, alcohol that such a medicine depends On the whiskey effect to sell it Most Of these "wonderful" tonics and "master medicines" makes the patient feel temporarily better from the stimulating effect while at the same time they are undermining health. "Number 40 For the Blood," contains but 9 per cent alcohol and you can not drink it "ad libitum." One teaspoonful is a dose for an adult. It is an old doctor's prescription and has been successfully employed in blood poison, mercurial and lead poisoning, scrofula, rheumatism, catarrh, constipation, liver and stomach troubles. Under its use nodes, tumors, goitre and scrofulous swelling, that have withstood all other treatment, disappear as if by magic.

for you. A chemist, whose freckles used to embarrass him quite a bit. one day f^und out that danthol tetrate was a simple and pleasant way of treating this trouble. The skin seems to absorb it quite promptly, and the way it gets after those rusty freckle spots is really wonderful.

Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from any well known drusrsrist. and apply it with the finger tips twice a day for a few days, and notice the result." This is also an excellent way of removing tan an-i similar discolorations of the skin. Ii costs very little and is not a bit Unpleasant to use.—Advertisement.
