It Is In appearance an enlarged "Jlmmle," with a foot-square box projecting from the center and supporting a trolley pole. There are platforms nt either end, not altogether unlike the ordinary platform, tho principal dissimilarity being that tho deck Is open for a dis tance of two feet next to the car ends, which are trap doors opening at the bottom and designed to make the car unload automatically, the bottom of the car raising to the center from each direction.

Regulations as to Diet, Exercise, etc., as Prescribed by One of the most Eminent Physicians, Constipation affects mostly those who are dysneptjc or who sit toomuch or too" long. It cannot he cured by medicines alone. The following Is the prescrip tion of n leading physician: 1st. Take on rising a teasnoonful of Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass of wa ter as hot as you can sip It. Then take a brisk walk out of doors. If youcah; if not, keep on your feet and move about indoors, if the trouble is chronic and serious, take another dose In from thirty to sixty minutes. Wait at least half an hour before eating your breakfast, 2d. Never sit down to read or work after breakfast until Nature has found relief. "But Ihaven'ttlme." You will have time if you rise an hour earlier than before, and a cure Is worth that. 3d. Use laxative food use a gruel of rolled oats and water.no milk; and use iionuy with wheat griddle cakes or with bread. Never touch toast, or milk ex cept in coffee. Don't cat blackberries or cheese, and never drink tea for break fast. Use coffee at breakfast, if you can; if not, hot water. Chew all food thor oughly and never use a liquid to help masticate it. Never use acids or sour fruits, and fruit when cooked is much easier digested than if uncooked. 4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudel Salt ? Because, first, there is no reac tion to follow it. You know what that means, if you have taken physics and found yourself worse off than before, the second day afterwards; second, be cause the Genuine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt aids the stomach as well as the bowels in their functions.
