We hear people talk of not be-
ing able to afford telephone, but
it is question if one nowadays
can afford to be without such a
convenience for the house. Farm
homes are better safeguarded, So
cial life made more agreeable. fac
ilities for handling business in
creased, and, in general, life made
easier and more attractive as re-
suit of the telephone. The doctor
can be called in less than half the
time and this may mean life OF
death to some one.
