SKITS ON PERSONS AND THINGS

THE RESULT OF ENVIRONMENT.
After a girl has been keeping COM
pany with a physician for sometime
she begins TO talk. shop" and her
girl friends envy her the great edu-
cational advantages she enjoys. The
Wayfarer knows by sight young wo-
mon who some day expects to tell
certain young doctor when his might
bell rings. She and girl friend met
on Market street day or two ago and
stopped for a chat Immediately in front
OF where the Wayfarer was standing.
They talked, over the affairs OF them
selves and of their friends and neigh
bors, and at last began discussing the
health OF several OF their mutual ac-
quaintances
'FHow is Mrs. Dalamater getting?"
inquired the girl friend OF the Doctors
prospective bride.
she has typhoid" said the other.
so John was telling me-" answered
the inquirer. do you think she will
get over it2"
'The doctor thinks So" was the re-
ply. 'aHe had am awfully difficult time
to diagnose the case. One Is so likely
to confounh typhoid with acute tuber-
iculosis, pyaemia, septicaemia, pneu-
monia. gastraenteritis, trichinosis and
diffuse parenchymatous hepatitis, that
it is really gratifying to know that the
doctor cam tell the difference. The
prognosls is always bad in those who
are very fat, and in those who are the
subjects OF gout, disease of the kid
ney, or other severe forms OF chronic
disease-and you know what an aw-
fillyfat old thing Mrs. Dalamater is.
wouldn't be as fat as she for anything
Ifexpect she'll be just mean enough to
die on the doctors hands because she
knows he Is going with me. She never
did like me, You know and the doctor
so disllkes to send n certificate to the
Health Department"
Aren't you afraid OF catching diph-
iberia, or something Of that kind, from
the doetor?" asked her friend.
"Oh, no; he loves me too well to give
me diphtheria," she said. 'He has two
or three diphtheria cases on his slate
now. Mamma is terribly worried about
It; but who ever heard OF girl CATCH
ing diphtheria from a doctor who is
waiting on her. The doctor told
mamma that 1t was a thing unheard Of
] told mamma to attend to her own
business for I didn't intend to catch
anything but the doctor and that, II
she continued TO interfere, wouldn't
even catch him"
Little Mabel Johnson has 1t, l
hear" suggested her friend.
Yes, and the doctor says that it's a
pretty bad case" was the reply.
There are complications, and, you
know, all complications render the
prognosis unfavorable Among the
complications are meningitis, endocar-
ditis. pleurisy, peritonitis, pericarditis
pneumonia, bronchitis, tracheitis
laryngitis, pulmonary oedema and con-
gestion. .oedema glottidis and death may
ooour ffom any OF these complications
especially in children where deglutitioI
is interfered with, or from athenia."
"Poor little Mabel" murmured hel
friend as they separated and went theil
respective ways.
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
The telephone has become so cheaI
that It should find a place in the home
OF every man who holds even quasi
public position In this community, but
unfortunately, 1t does not. This wa
brought to the attention Of the Way
farer in an emphatic manner on Mon
day Several of the Episcopal Churcl
congregations held noon meetings 70
the election OF vestrymen. Wishing {,
obtain the names Of those elected with
out being compelled to visit the rector.
OF each parish, It was found that no
one Of the rectOries had a telephone
and the news had to be obtained b
roundabout methods and at consider
able trouble.
Afterwards the Wayfarer locke
through the telephone directories an
was surprised TO find that only two @
three OF the pastoral residences in tn
city could be reached by telephon,
This saving OF s24 year is poor ecor
omy In many ways, and especially
reason OF the fact that the churches al
very largely cut of from that gres
benefit which comes from keeping ii
public fully apprised Of the progress
the church work through the medium
Of the daily newspapers.
II the Christian EndeavOrers, King
Daughters and various other churC
auxiliaries want to do something whiC
VIII prove OF great practical benefit
their respective churches let them d
wise schemes whereby $24 can be rails,
in each parish and charged and appli,
TO placing a telephone in each rector
parsonage and manse in the city. Tn
is a suggestion which will, the Wa
farer believes, recommend itself 10 I
persons who believe in the practical Il
OF money and the scientific applianc
OF This golden age Of invention al
quick communication. Some Of the S
oieties should set the ball rolling il
mediately.
