TeIephone Full Of Germs.

There is a movement among health
authorities to do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being a collector Of
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible, a good
disinfectant also being necessary. The
telephone companies should keep pub
Ic instruments and the booths in
clean condition. 1t is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another preo aUtion Is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter.

Rapid Growing Pear Trees

The more rapidly pear tree grows,
the more likely is it to be attacked

that the texture of the bark is so open
that the spores of the blight can get

sprouts that are too fine to be seen by
