“A politeness car” is the newest innovation on, the North-western Elevated Railroad (says a Chicago paper of March 23.) The car first appeared last night, and startled many patrons between the downtown district, and Evanston. Along the aisle on either side is a line of enamelled posts from floor to ceiling. Each passenger is wedged in between two or these uprights. This leaves no chance for .a passenger to be jostled against his neighbor, whether standing or sitting. The officials of the road say* the new arrangement will encourage politeness among passengers. The iiprights are also expected to be a relief to the “strap-hanging’’ patron. The car at first appears like a travelling hospital or gymnasium, but it looks good, was the remark of one passenger. The car has been introduced as an experiment. HOW I SAVE DOCTORS’ BILLS. “Ever since they were babies my two children' have been martyrs to severe colds and croup,” writes Station Master Leslie A. Fox, Perth, Tas., “but at the first sign of cold or thick breathing, which' is the first indication of croup, I always give them Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Those who use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will find that it will save them doctors’ bills.”—Sold.by E. D. Smith, Chemist, Gisborne.
