Doctor With Beard a Menace.

AS a result of these observations it
will at once appear that physicians who
wear boards, especially long boards, are
menace to those With whom they come
in contact. For example, should a ply
sician cali upon case of scarlet fever
during the exfoIiative period he is more
liable TO carry the infection to his next
case than physician who has Il smooth
face, and in the examination of the
throat of a case of diphtheria the pa
tient is liable to cough. thus filing tho
-Fhiskers of the doctor with the bacfili
o. this disease, and the next case on
whom he calls, If susceptible. Is liable
to acquire the disease. II is therefore
inconceiEabie that physicians of the
modern school. who must be conYersane
with the construction of hairs and who
therefore must realize the En1possibil1ty
of rendering them cleaniy, would, even
for Vanity's sake, wear theri.
The test tube containing culture me
dia of agar-agar with a stab culture
shows the remarkable bacterial growth
which occurred after thirty-siN hours
incubation from hair extracted from a
'.clean" mustaehe OF the YaIites of
nnfcro-organ nisms found in the hair
around the mouth the most eer1:non is
the tubercle bacillus, though almost
every microbe known to science may be
found entrapped within the irnbrications

cuse themselves for wearing whiskers
The Washington times., 1905-06-04

MARQUIS Kuroda's pond is some ten
acres in extent. Around its entire cir
curnference a great moundlike wall some
fifteen feet in height has been thrown
up. and upon its summit and slopes
dense. canebrake has been planted which
rises some thirty feet more in the air
and absolutely cuts off all vision OF the
interior expanse of water. At intervals
of some thirty yards, for half the cir
cumferenee of the circle and on the land
ward si.la bitches about six feet deep
and five lcat wide have been dug. These
bitches. with the waters of the lake
some eighteen inches deep in them, are
about hundred feet long, banked with
earth. and sodded on each side. some
three feet above the surface Of the sur
rounding land. Where they enter the
lake, two right-angied turns are M made mi ,s
which assure q complete screening Of the
lake from any outside view, or vice YER
sa.
4 thousand tame ducks are kept III
this lake to decoy the wild ones into the
byway feeding bitches.

Dom Paul's Least Dangerous.

From a study of the structure of d
hair it will be at once apparent that any
infective substance is difficult of dis
Judgement; in fact, cannot be removed
entirely by serubbing According TO mi
croscopical investigation, as we'll as by
culture media results, I have found that
the hairs most tmpregnated with micro
organisms are. first, those of the mus
tache; second. those o1 the lower lip
and chin. and third, those on the side
OF the face. Therefore. the most ny
gienlc' or least dangerous whiskers to
wear are ones similar TO those worn by
the late Dom Paul
The reason that most of the bacteria
lodge in the mustache and whisRers i'm
modiately surrounding the mouth Is to
be found in the constant inhalation.
which creates q draught, attracting
them from an atmosphere that is filled
with Infection of all kinds And espe-
cia!iy is this true in great cities. where,
as one passes along the streets, he
meets the sweepers and also encounters
many other means of stirring up mi
crobes with which the dried products of
the streets are filled. 1t is necessary
capture and retention by the face wllis-
kers Of these infections.
1T may occur in this connection that
the whiskers retaining these micr0-o
ganisms are of material benefit in ex-
Guiding from the system these same
infeetiVe organisms. This assumption
would be true If it were possible to rem
der the whiskers clean after their day s
