the authorities in Ems have issued a
notice in regard to the wearing Of

is pointed out of causing dust to ny

many invalids. The printed notice
concludes thus: Ladies will. perhaps,

Barring Out co,s..p.,v..

Sir James Grant, president Of the
Canadian association for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. approves Of
the action Of the United States authon-
ties in barring out persons suffering
from tuberculosis. and says that SIM
liar action has been recommended to
the Canadian government by the as
sociation. 1t is thought that the rule
will prevent many consumptives from
leaving Canadian homes for milder
climates in the southern states, notably
for Colorado and California. While the
consumptives from Canada bound for
the southern states are not usually re-
garded as immigrants. 1t is said they
could be classed under the order.

Sunday Shaving.


A Judge in the Nutmeg state has de-
cided that a shave on Sunday is a
necessity. A case was brought in the
Norwalk town court on complaint Of
the Norwalk Barbers' union against a
barber. on the ground that he kept his
place of business open Sunday
and was doing secular labor
and business on the Sabbath.
The barber's attorney maintain
ed in his defense that shaving was as
necessary to the clean man as a clean
shirt. and II a man was going to
church, out of respect to others, II
for no other reason, he ought to ap-
pear with a smooth face. The Judge
in giving his decision said 1t was time
to take a common sense view of such
matters. and that II busy men went
into BARRIERS shops to prepare them
selves for proper observance of the
day he did not consider they were do
