TO his customers, by means Of his hands
and instruments, OF many parasitic Skin
diseases has long been recognized as one
OF the unnecessary accomplishments Of
the necessary barber. Among these af'
fections are sycosis. impetigo, 'seborrhei,
alopeeia and furunculosis that is more
or less chronic In type. DR., Grahan
Chambers states that during the past five
years impetigo %circinata has been very
prevalent IN Toronto, scarcely a month
passing without an outbreak of from two
20 thirty cases, generally traceable TO O
common source. The barber shop Is so
commonly the source that he designates
the disease as BARRIERS impetigo." Quite
recently DIR. w. A. Hardaway has called
attention TO a point which he believes, and
we think rightly. has been but little real
tied by the medical profession, That Is
the frequency with which c~arbuncles are
acquired in barber shops. He has seer
many cases OF carbuncle In which the
evidence Of this means OF transmission
was to him i~ndisputable. The relative Inn
p%ortance OF this serious affection as com
pared with the other diseases mentioned
needs scarcely TO be impressed. For the
prevention of contagion in barber shops
Hardaway believes that we will be forced
10 rely upon an educated public opinion
rather than upon compulsory laws direct
ed against the barber. He recommend
that each patron OF n barber shop pro
vide himself with a box, containing his
own brush and comb, a small package OF
absorbent cotton and a 8 per cent. car
bolic acid solution, The barber will then
wipe his shears or clippers with the solu-
ton, and use the patrons comb and
brush. For the man who shaves, his W
soap. cup and brush are necessities. These

On. 81 Mr.. Hoar,s Jokes SPOILED.

Senator Hoar bewails the innovation
recently introduced at that end of the
capitol in the purchase Of matches, says
the Washington Post. Almost since the
time when friction matches were in,
vented the senate has been receiving It's
supply in little round wooden boxes.
Matches In these boxes have been for
years kept about the capitol When,
in Mr.. Hoar's committee room, some
one asked for matches, the senator
would remark: why we have barrels
of matches" and forthwith, at the ut
terance OF the bon mot, a round box
would be produced.
NOW the purchasing agent of the SEN
ate has decided TO buy matches In the
usual paper boxes, with which the gem
eral public is familiar. That Is consid-
erably less expensive. but II puts an end
to barrels OF matches in the senate
committee on judiciary.

Formerly a Resident of Sioux Falls,
But Lately Of New Mexico.

" SNN @akSty VI WV "SN'SS' ~.
Sioux Falls, 8. D.. May 13.-Friends
in this city have been shocked by the
receipt of a telegram stating that G. G..
Hartley, for a period Of about ten years
a resident Of Sioux Falls, and a well
known member Of the local bar, had
committed suicide at his new home at
Alamogordo, New Mexico. Nothing has
been learned as to the aus or causes
which led him to take his own life, but
it is supposed here hat the act was
due TO the state of his health. Prior to
removing from Sioux Falls to New
Mexico a year or two ago, he a not
enjoyed good health and had also eG-
perienced considerable trouble with his
eyes. At the time Of his death he was
a member in good standing of both the
Workmen and Woodmen lodges of this
city, in each of which he carried in
surance to the amount of $4,000. Be
fore taking up his residence i'm Sioux
Falls, Hartley was a resident of Miller,
S. d., where he was also we'll known.
