New Telephone Tin.

One of the latest inventions that is
coming into familiar use is an anti
septic gauze tip for telephone trans
mitters, its utility being in the pre-
vention of lip contact with the trans
mitter, thus checking the transmission
of infectious disease germs. The de-
vice consists of little cap of the med
icated cloth made in shape and size
to fit the transmitter. 1t is convex in
direction and held in place by a metal
rim or clasp, which is fastened to the
outside of the transmitter and back
of the fiaring extension constructed
to gather the sound waves Success.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork, was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumPtive needs
most.
ott'sEmulsionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consunptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared tor easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
