BARBERS* SHOP DISEASES
Patrons Advissd to Have Their Own
j Brush and Comb—Carbolic Acid
for the Razor.
The transference to his cus
tomers, by means of his hands uDd
instruments, of many parasit
ic skiu diseases has long been rec
ognized as oiie of the unnecessary
accomplishments of the necessary
barber. Among these affections,
says American Medicine, are
sycosis, impetigo, seborrheic alo
pecia and furunculosis that is
more or less chronic in type. l)r.
Graham Chambers states that
during the past live years impeti
go circinati has been very prev
alent in Toronto, scarcely a month
passing without an outbreak of
from two to thirty cases, gener
ally traceable to a common
source. The barber shop is so com
monly the source that he desig
nates the disease as “barbers’ im
petigo.” Quite recently Dr. W.
A. Hardaway has called attention
to a point which he believes, and
we think rightly, has been but lit
tle realized by the medical profes
sion. That is the frequency with
which carbuncles are acquired in
barber shops. He has seen many
cases of carbuncle in which the
evidence of this means of trans
mission was to him indisputable.
The relative importance of this se
rious affection as compared with
the other diseases mentioned
needs scarcely to be impressed.
For the prevention of contagion
in barber shops, Hardaway be
lieves that we will be forced to
rely upon an educated publie
opinion rather than upon compul
sory laws directed against the
barber. He recommends that
each patron of a barber shop pro
vide himself with a box, contain
ing his own brush and comb, a
small package of absorbent cot
ton and a five per cent, carbolic
acid solution. The barber will
then wipe his shears or clippers
with the solution, and use the pa
tron's comb and brush. F-or the
man who shaves his own soap, cup
and brush are necessities. These
suggestions are sensible. To car
ry them out properly means some
inconvenience, but it is worth
while, especially to the aged and
debilitated, or to those suffering
from diabetes or similar diathe
sis. Physicians atending such pa
tients should extend them a warn

ANCIENT DOLL-LIKE IDOLS.
Were Found Imbedded in Walls el
Ancient Clift Dwellings Near
Santa Fe.
While exploring the Puye and
Shuflnne cliff dwellings near San
ta Fe recently Dr. R. W. Scheuss
ler discovered some antiques of
a kind not previously cataloged
by students of that region. No
ticing upon the wall of an ancient
dwelling some spots of an unu
sual color, he dug into the soft
stone with his pocketknife and
1 discovered a hole 5 inches in dianv
eter and 12 inches deep, partlj
filled with mud. Inside was im
bedded a stick on which was
mounted a doll’s head. In the
same hole was a small, highly pol
ished turquoise.
Dr. Schuessler investigated fur
ther. He found three more of the
sealed openings, each of them
containing a doll and a turquoise.
One of the holes contained a piece
of petrified resin, in which tooth
1 marks indicated that it had been
i used as the chewing gum of the
. day. The probability is that the
doll heads were idols, but the sig
niflcance of burying them in the
mesa walls and the presence ol
the turquoise are not explained.
In Sunny Florida.
Never shall I forget, writei
Julia Daniels Moseley, in thi
Four-Track News, the magic ol a
certain garden in the south, ic
sunny Florida. . . . The stars
down there have a way of seem
ing to hang out of the sky, like a
jewel placed high in the setting
The moon was full and the magic
of her yellow beauty bewitchec
everything, enhancing the verj
shadows. There is an abandoi
about that Bpot that takes awaj
the stiffness so often found ir
large, formal grounds, and, as yoi
walk on and on, there seems to b<
no end to it, but it is as though al
the world was a sumptuous gar
den; and when you lift your eye!
to the matchless night blues, h
seems as if the very dome of Heav
en bad opened to charm yon
vision.

There is a big difference be

cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
