ON THE BRIDGE - Refuse to Open Platforms Built at City’s Ex- pense. COMPELLED, CAN’T BE ; Bridge Commissioner Steven son Declares He Is Power- less to Force Use. . . "THERE’S NO CROWDING | sco: Brooklynites Who Are Jammed on “Island” Space Must Be Mistaken. ‘The scene !s any evening, and: the rush hour on Brooklyn Bridge. The time at which Park Row, the stairway Ieading to the Bridge from the Subway, | and the “L” platforms are jaznmed ‘with a heterogencous mass of humanity Possessed by t heterogeneous idea—that .of getting home—home to Brooklyn. | Men, with gutteral grunts, push thelr sway through the siruggling mob of {Brooklyn-bound workers. Here and there a woman screams shrilly as a Reavily-bootes masculine foot descends on hers, but there is no time in the home-bound rush Yo. think of things Ake that—‘Home!"" is the cry. "Home: ‘at all costs ond all hazards. The eager throng presses up to an “island” platform and is herded thence 4nto the cars by B, R 1. hirelings, While facing them Is an entirely empty platform thelr money had built, but ‘which Is not used because the crowd on the “island” is not dense enough. Some time ago the City of New f@roused by the articles in Tae E World, took a and tn the lit the Brooklyn Rapfd-Transit was with Its passengers, with the rei ‘at an expense of $100,00), several new platforms were installed at the Manhat- tan terminal of the bridge Expensive Platform Unused. The city paid for these tmprovemen:s to the B. R. T, service, gave the trans- portation company full swing, in so far fs the use or disuse of its Improvement was concerned, with the result that to- @ay passengers Lrooklyn-bound during the rush hours can st elbowing @nd ving for deur Mfe, on the “isl- and% platform at the westerly extrem- ity of the bridge terminal, while they feast their eyes on several hundred feet of clean-swept bere platform (running almost the length of the depot, and big enough to accommodate twenty-car trains) that their money, and that of thelr fellow tax-payers has presented go the B. R. 'f, Night after night, ever since the “1m- provements” ai the bridge terminal were gompleted, Brooklynites homeward bound have wondered at euch a condi- Yon of things, Here 1s a platform, completed, absolutely fit for use in every detail, roomy; easy of access and wonvenient, yet bare of all lfe, and that while the “island” platform ts jammed till there is danger of persons being pushed upon the tracks, When confronted with the evidence eollectea by Evening World reporters fanent the upparent absolutely uscless- nesp of the city's new platform, the B. R. T: handed out its stereotyped re- ply, “We are doing the best we can,” @nd Bridge Commissioner » Stevenson told a reporter that “when plans are completed thy residents of Brooklyn will have a system of transpontine transit that will outdo anything here- tofore tried.” Police Guard Locked Gates, In the mean time folk bound for rub- ber-plant land gaze thoughtfully every evening at the long expanse of empty platform on the southerly alde of the bridge terminal that could easily ac- commodate half the mob that crowds the “island” platform, could the gates Yeading to it be opened. But the p tals are padlocked with B. R, T. locks and stalwart policemen drive back any man bold enough to ask why he can't ee an improvement his money helped uy. Acoording to Bridge Commissioner Stevenson and Bridge Engineer Nicholls, York, yur new winng in working o at think you will admit the paid problem has been solved, Give as i and we will Ox it @ll right.

We are often asked the above question, and our answer has in- variably been that no medicine that gives satisfactot results could be fraudulent, e could not afford to sell fraudulent medi- cines, Our business depends on leased customers—in fact any usiness does, Therefore, we ould take an enormous risk did we not fulfil every promise made our customers, We are very care- ful of what we guarantee, and when we do guarantee an article we must know it pretty well— what it contains and how it is made.

It is without a doubt the peer of all tonics for any one who is suffering from a tun-down condition, can’t work, feels constantly tired or suffering from the more plainly described symptoms of Catarrh—such as stopping of the nose, cold in the head or bad cough.” It must be remembered that Ca- tarrh is not confined to the nose and throat. It usually starts there, but it leads more often to serious trouble, particularly the wasting of tissues, as in the case of little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
