CHALLENGE SMOKERS' RIGHT 0NJTY CARS Chicago Societies Demand Abatement of Nuisance on Street Car Service.

CHICAGO, March 31. The timehonored right of men to smoke on street ears has been challenged in Chicago, and there are those who urge railroads to abolish smoking cars as one expedient to get full value for rolling stock investments. The tobacco trust has shown enough alarm to organize the opposition, of which there are plenty ready to be organized. The reasons for and against the plan are interesting. For the ordinance: Smoking on cars menace to health; unfair to motormen; indirect cause of accidents. It results in indignities to women. It delays traffic. It makes enforcement of anti-spitting ordinance impossible. It constitutes a special privilege, as only a small per cent of car patrons smoke. Against the ordinance: Smoking on cars is not a menace to the public health (United Societies and Cigar Manufacturers' Association). It is not a public nuisance (United Societies and Cigar Manufacturers' Association). The ordinance would injure the tobacco business (Cigar Manufacturers 'Association). Delegations from scores of civic, political, religious and medical organizations urge the enactment of the ordinance. Wood shavings free. The K. D.

Prof. Budlong was Quickly Relieved of Both afflictions by Using Rheuma.
