Railway Tickets sold in Slot Machines.

In JBdriin and the vicinity suburban railway ticketa are obtained from slot machines* Their employment la faotlt tated by the fact that the one tariff system is in forco on the Sfradt and Reg railways which ran through acd round Berlin, and on'the chief suburban lines. A ten pfennig (about one penny) ticket can be used by a paiisengqr for a third elan journey from any station on the line to any up to the Jifth station from the point of departure. For all stations alter the fifth double fare is charged. Second class single fares Under the same condition are 15 and 30 pfennigs respectively. A 16 pfennig ticket can also; be obtained frour the automatic maehtiies 4-. -two nickels'have to be put in the slot in that case, whereupon the machine* delivers ihe ticket with a 5 pfennig piece as change. This system fcaves the passenger much time, and certainly saves the rail 1 way,company a 1; least one window at eaoh ticket office In all Berlin railway s ations no one ia allowed on the platform unlets he is going by train or purchases a platform ticket. The ticket costs 10 pfennigs, and is also supplied by auto matic machines. It may be mentioned 1 fast by tte sale'of those platforn* the State, which owns the rail ways nets iiver'£loo,ooo a year. During 1900, 30,000,000 tickets were supplied to the public by automatic machines at Berlin city and suburban stations, and fraud le infrequent, the small coin being diffiouh to imitate.— lnvention,

Plenty of it.

Lots more p«oof like this and its all from Ashburton people.

1 " The proof of the pudding if in the eating of it. If'any city, or towi id ,the colony has sufficient proof on the'- follow* ing tubject it is Ashburton. Genuine merit is finding its reward in ihe hearty endorsation of local citizens. ■When people ripht here at home, friends and neighbours of,our .reader?* give a . as atementi like the following for publiba' [ tion, it is proof convincing for the most sceptical. * Read this testimony :~ Mrs John Stace, Suffolk Street, Trevor* ton, this town says :—" For many years Ive enffered with the kidneys £ have taken bottlea and bottles of medicines to Kat rid of the pains and cure the disease but one thing after another failed till I was quite sick at heart The pains 1 had in the back nearly crippled; me When I got up in ihe morning I did not know what way to turn All my work was done in agony 'Ihen the secretions were very I bad and were obstructed a good deal. I had to get them drawn Headaches were another affltctioia and giddiness was so Lad when it came on that I could scarcely stand. I also had a nasty dazzling before the eyes One day I got a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the Ashburton Drug Co. in East Street and these were a godsend to me They stopped the pains i-nd cured me of the giddiness and the dazzling before the eyes and also cleared and freed the aeoretlons I am far and away better sine® using these pills than I have been for a very long time" Take no substitute You want the medicine which helped Mrs Stace, there* fore ask for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills

They are sold by all chemists and store keepers at 3s per box (six; boxes 16s 6d) or will be posted On receipt of prioe by the proprietors, Foater-McGieUan Go., n Pitt Street, Sydney, X S W. i But be sure they are Doan's
