the conduit in which to lay its cables. Sixty miles
of duct feet of conduit required. Nearly twen-
ty-ive miles already laid.
a. The Detroit Telephone Company is building the
most modern and perfect telephone plant ever
built in this country. The conduit will last hun
dred years and the cables will be practically i'm
perishabe. You imagine the perfect service
telephone subscribers will receive
o. The Detroit Telephone Company has enthusiastic
public and popular support Think of metallic
circuit telephone in your house for 25 dollars year
or in your office for 40 dollars year, No wonder
the telephone subscribers increasing at the rate
OF nearly 100 week Do you know any reason
why there will not be 10000 Detroit Telephone sub

ways been huge paying investment. The time

1.-THE WEATHER AND DISEASE.
A Subject That Is Not Yet Sufficiently
unheratnad.

A Subject That Is Not Yet Sufficiently
Understood.
A physician has called attention to
the necessity of a wider range of sys-
tematized data on the relation between
weather and disease. That the various
atmospheric changes should have some
effect on our bodies is easily under
stood, for we know that alteration in
the surface temperature, a change in
the blood pressure, or in the air pres
sure Of the lungs may affect the nervous
system, and all these changes may be
brought about by some popularity In
the natural phenomena which we call
weather. In recent years the subject
has attracted the attention Of those
most competent to deal with it, and
lately meteorological station has been
attached to the laboratories Of the pub
lie health department at Rome, where
lectures are given to students on the
application of meteorology to hygiene.
At present our knowledge Of the way
In which the weather acts upon the body
is very limited. An attempt to trace
disease has recently been made in Eng
land by fellow of the Royal Meteoro-'
logical Society, by bringing together
number of statistics dealing with the
phenomena of the weather and some
well-known diseases, chiefly zymotic,
presenting them by graphic method
in a systematic manner. 1t is sug-
gested that doctors generally make con-
tributions to the available data on this
subject, which would be of extreme
value. There are few people, too, who
could not give instances of the influence
which the weather has upon them,
either mentally or physically. On some
constitutions the seasons have marked
influence. With mary the spring, with
its bright days and clear air, is felt to
be the time of the year when they get
the most enjoyment out of life; while
others, probably of a more sensitive
temperament, experience the greatest
sum of happiness and health when
peaceful autumn wraps them in it's Sc
rene atmosphere.
On the other hand, winter or sum-
mer, as the case may be, produces in
other temperaments the greatest con-
summation of healthy vitality. Certain
changes in the weather, too, tend to in
crease or diminish the amount of en-
ergy that we put into our daily work,
and in certain large factory it is
recognized that from 10 to 20 per cent
less work is done on dull days and days
OF threatening storm. The whole sub
ject is one which, pursued in proper
scientific spirit, should be productive
Of useful results. It's investigation
might, at all events, afford people the
satisfaction of knowing exactly why
their poor bodies are so much at the
mercy Of atmospheric variations

Is ii not n fact that the walls ahd

neglect? Is it not fact that the walls
are actually the most conspicuous part
Jf Il room? Is it not a fact that in
many parlors and sitting-rooms the
loors are actually better cared
FOR than the walls? We have
al experienced a disagreeable
sensation and lack of harmony
in rooms we have entered where
the carpets, draperies and furniture
may be in style, but stared down up
on by vacant white walls or old, dark,
large-fgured paper, on which pictures
do not show off 10 advantage. Do
not, my lady friends, make this mis-
take The walls are of great import
ance, both from point of beauty and
as affecting the health and happiness
of the family. How many coats Of
paper have you on your walls, one
over the other? One is bad enough;
we have seen six or eight. with inter-
vening layers of vegetable paste, max
ing a harbor for disease germs, and
sometimes vermin that are in more
advanced stages than the germ state.
This is positively dangerous, and may
have seriously affected the health of
your family in the past. We are not
urging you into any extravaganza, but
for your sake and the sake Of your
family correct this condition of affairs.
Take off this paper. To leave it long
er is criminal neglect of sanitary laws
and a sin against the laws Of cleanli-
ness. If you must have paper, re-
move one coat before applying the
subsequent one. This old paper may
be easily removed by soaking thor
oughly with water, repeatedly wet
ting, and using wall scraper. Once
having cleaned this wall, have it coat
ed with the sanitary wall finish, Ala

diture you can make that will afford
