Will Advance Price Of Mileage Books.

Effective December 7, the 1,000 mile books, sold by railroads in the Central Passenger association, .will sell for $25 instead of S2O, the rate that has been effective for several years. However, when the books are used and the backs are turned in to the railroads $2.50 is refunded the purchaser, making the total cost $22.50, a net increase of $2.50. By the laws of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, where fare is limited to two cents per mile, the books Will bo longer be good for interstate traffic, and may be used only on trip® that are made from one State to another. In Pennsylvania the books may be used as the two-cent law is not in effect there. Books purchas'ed before December 7 will be good until all the mileage is used and local ticket agents,, who have received notices of the general advance, are expecting a rush for the book® before the price advances.
