~ and Baker City
"a force OF men are engaged in putting
in Athena's local telephone exchange.
Extra heavy poles and stringers are
being used in order to accommodate the
large number of wires that are to be
used The very latest phones with oil
up.to.date Improvements were put in by
the Inland Telephone company, and
Athena now has q splendid telephone
system.
Ten phones are now in use, locally
speaking, and there is no reason why
the number cannot be increased to rs in
a short time. Those now in use, are
principally in business houses, but the
convenience of the telephone system is
well known 10 all, and In short time
many Athena residences will have phones
in use.
Athena will soon be on the Walla
Walla.Baker City line, making for it two
long distance lines. The Walla Walla
Baker City line will have two wires. the
result being what is known as the metal
lie circuit, which entirely does away
with the Objectionable roaring sound in
the phones. The Office here will be the
'test Office" between Baker City and
Walla Walla. The test Office is one des.
ignated to call on when accident occurs
to the wires between two principal
points, and is generally used as base
of supplies for the line in both direc.
tious.

DIPHTHeRIA PREVENTION
An Easy Plan Capable of Use in Ever,
Household

-
Household
The following prescription was clippsd
from recent letter 10 the Oakland.
Californis, Enquirer, as it is one of tho, q
preventative measures that should be
found in every family scrap book:
Editor Enquirer: As Giphtheria is
still lingering in some parts Of our city,
much suffering and probably, human
lives may be saved ii you will kindly
publish in your columns the following
simple preventive.
Place common plate over kettle in
which water is kept boiling; sprinkle
about level tablespoonful OF sulphur on
the plate and replenish it every hour.
The heat from the boiling water sets
free the sulphur dioxide without the
disagreeable fumes of burning sulphur,
and is death to all germs. 1t will pre-.
vent the disease spreading to any other
members of the household and will cure
many cases with no further medication,
The sulphur is best HprinH ID by usir 4
0 com non pepper can. 1t should be
kept going all the arst day. After that
i couple OF hours twies day will do,

in the gold regions. Smiths pate was as
bald as doorknob before he became a for
tune hunter, and this fact worried him
nightly. lie was Familiarity addressed as
Badly" by close friends, sobriquet which
burned into his pride and ate away the joys
OF life. But when Smith came back from
Alaska these same wits were dumfounded
TO find that his once hairless skull was COW
cred over with a luxurious growth of dark
brown locks, thick, glossy and long.
Like the heroes of the patent medicine
advertisements, Smith tried all the prepara-
tons that ever came to his attention, and
he hunted for them, too In the course OF
time all his Datrimony had slipped through
his hands in pursuit of hair restorers, and
one day Smith found himself in urgent need
or money. Hair was desirable, perhaps
even a luxury, but money was a necessity,
and the search for hair was abandoned in
a hunt for gold.
Smith went to Alaska and while he dug
IN the frozen earth, unheeding his head and
its lack OF hair, that for which he had
yearned for years came about-hair began
TO sprout beneath his bearskin cap. 1t grew
and grew, like the tabled beanstalk until
Smith had 10 cut it off in order TO get his
hat on.
The intense cold kills all the germs and
microbes" asserts Smith, and stimulates
the scalp, and nature does the rest. A man
who puts his time in trying to increase the
thickness of his hair will generally manage
to worry off what little belongs to him
naturally He will scrub ii and put fertfl-
izer on it. and lie awake nights thinking
about 1T until his head is as hot a fur
mace and burns the roots of it to ashes
ana emo by getting up the shiniest kind of
bald head; but up there 1t is too cool to
1901 that way and the hair gets a chance for
its life"
Smiths experience is only one Of MANY.
You can't get man back from the Klon-
dixie who remembers having seen a bald
mead. The dogs that have been taken up
there have grown hair as shaggy as Shet-
land pony's
