Toledo papers, and others, have
been making much noise and
"cute" comment upon the fact that
during the recent session of teachers
association in Toledo the sales of
false hair, such as "puffs," rats, !"
Switches" ETC., amounted to over
$3.50. We must acknowledge that we
fail to see anything alarming in this
bit of news but on the contrary
think it is very creditable to the
teachers. The teacher should set an
example for neatness and style for
her pupils and if her arduous duties
as teacher has made her hair grow
thin she is but doing her duty to re-
sort to art to cover the defects of
nature. Not only should a school
teacher, but every other woman as
well, keep herself looking as neat,
tidy and stylish as her circumstances
will permit A woman has the same
right to puff or rat her hair that a
man has to pad the shoulders of his
coat, and any man is in small busi-
ness who makes unkind comment
about a woman who keeps herself
we'll groomed and Cooking her best"

Leaving the question Does Prohi-
bition prohibit" to be best answered
by the fear of the liquor dealers who
claim 1t does not, it is interesting to
note that many states report an ap-
preciable decrease in tuberculosis
and that the Department of Vital Sta
tistics at Washington asserts the cru
sade against the White Plague is al
ready. showing unmistakable pro-
gress, and results. The United
States was not the first by any means
to attack in general way the march
of this dread disease, but it is prob
able that there is no country in which
so much popular attention has been
directed toward its prevention or in
which education on the subject has
been so widely diffused. Nearly every
state in the Union has state and local
societies organized to distribute in
formation about the disease and to
look after those cases among the
poor and ignorant which owing to the
singular character Of the infection
are the greatest public menace. With
the spread of the benignant gospel
of fresh air as cure for tuberculo-
sis come the opening of houses and
especially sleeping rooms to the out
side air and a new enthusiasm for
the out of door life. To be sure these
are running into fads and hobbies
and wild manias, but the beneficent
result Is apparent in the statistics Of
all but three states in the Union
which report lowered mortality from
tuberculosis. The three states re-
ferred to are those best known as
health resorts for consumptives and
draw their Increased quota of suffer-
ers from other states. It is not too
optimistic to believe that the time is
not so far distant when tuberculosis
will have ceased to be scourge

There is something unpleasant
about the thought of eating whale
meat, but it is said that the reality
is very palatable. Japan has quite o
trade in canned and salted whale
meat, and there is to be a campaign
to educate the European peoples to
like it. Some whaling companies
have distributed from their head
quarters samples of canned whale
meat, and those who have eaten it
describe it as tenderer than beef and
much like it in taste. Whale steak
seems no queerer than Frankfort sau-
sage made out Of an elephant, which
is what some German people have
been eating. An enterprising butch
er over there, hearing that an unruly
elephant in the Ghent Geological
Gardens was to be killed, engaged
the carcass. He made 5000 pounds
of sausage out of it, and sold every
pound at good prices.-London Globe.
