WHERE TELEPHONE IS HANDY “ghutins,” Confined by Contaglous Disease, Find an Easy Method of Communication. 1n,a circular distributed by a stenog rapher occurred the. phrase . “Con taglous, diseases ~ correspondence promptly attended to.” “Dictation over the: telephone by people who have been quarantined on account of scarlet féver or diphtheria, that's what that means,” she said. “Many families that are thus shut off from the world do not wish to send out a scrap of paper that'can possibly carry contagion. Of course, there are many ways of overcoming the difficul- ty, and people laid up with disease that is catching have always found a ‘way to let their friends know what afled them, but it seems to me that the safest and sanest way 1s to dictate the news over the telephone. 4 “The mother of two children thal had measles suggested that I make that line of work a speclalty. She got my address from the doctor and dic tated & two-page letter before I had had.a chance to look up her refer ences. She was good pay, though Most quarantined letter writers are, In this long-distance correspondence you have to trust largely to the good faith of your employer. When 8 stranger wishes me to talke a letter ] inquire the name of tke doctor, and sometimes I take the precaution to telephone him to find out if the pa tlent 18 responsible financially, but us ually I go ahéad with the letter and trust to heaven for the money. Heaven I am glad to say, has generally stood by me. BISHOP ROWE AND ALASKA Churchman Seemingly Blazing the Path of Progress in Far North. ern Territory. Archdeacon Stuck of Alaska, who .has just been making his annual sum- mer cruise in the Pelican, writes from ‘Tanana’ to the Spirit of Missions that Bishop Rowe has worked a veritable miracle at that mission during his “thawing out” there. The natives have been worked upon and moved to band themselves together against the introduction of liquor among them; they have already had two ot their number arrested and fined for drunkenness and disorder, and have given public notice in the local paper that they will testify in court against any man who attempts to sell them liquor. Under the bishop’s leadership they have started a large communal garden, and have elected a village council, such as there is at Fort Yu- kon and Eagle, -and a new chief.” Wind and Waves Cause Quakes. To the average man any movement of the “solid” ground is a striking ex- ception to.the normal order of nature. To the Belsmologist, on the contrary, absolute tranquillity ef the earth is the exception, and the quakes—large or small—are the rule. The little quakes are quite as-interesting from the sclentific point of view-as the_ big ones. There is an international com- mission for the study of these ‘“mi- croseisms,” as they are called. One type of microseism has a period of 30 seconds. This has been traced to fric tion of the wind upon the earth’s surf. ace. In other words, the wind creates ‘waves—vibrations—over an extended land surface, just as it does over the ocean. Another type has a period of from five to ten seconds. This is found to have no relation to the wind or to other meteorological conditions. It is now most plausibly attributed to the impact of waves on the seashore. Great storms on the Atlantic thus set up trains of little earth waves, which are registered at Hamburg, Strasburg, Vienna—their amplitude decreasing ‘with the distance inland. ‘Too Many Men In High Place. London is plagued with a multiplt city of councillors. Despite the aboli: tion of the old vestries and the crea: tion of borough councils, London has 144 governing bodles, some of which of course are quite small and luke ‘warm to the mass of the people. RESTORE GRAY HAIR T0 NATURAL GOLOR By Common Garden Sage a Simple Remedy for Dandruff, Falling, Faded, Gray Hair. The old idea of using Sage for darkening the hair is again coming in vogue. Our grandmothers had dark, glossy - hair at seventy-five, while our mothers are gray before they are fifty. Our grandmothers kept their hair soft and glossy with a “Sage Tea,” which also restored the natural color. 5 One objection to using such a pre- paration was the trouble of making it. This objection has been over- come by the Wyeth Chemical Com- pany of New York, who has placed on the market a superior prepara- tion of Sage, combined with Sulphur and other valuable remedies for dan- druff, itching scalp, and thin, weak, falling hair. ¥ The beauty of the hair depends more on its rich, even shading than anything else. Don’t have dry, harsh faded hair, when a simple, harmless remedy will bring back the color in a few days; and don’t be torment- ed with dandruff, itching scalp and loose, falling hairs. Wyeth’s Sul- phur Sage and Hair Remedy will quickly correct these troublés, and give color, strength and beauty to your hair.
