Phone Advertising
Scored in Britain.

Phone Advertising,
Scored in Britain.
Manchester Guardian-Rather an
amusing suituation has arisen out OF
the present passion of the post Office
for advertising the telephone service far
and wide and in all manner Of ways.
In various papers there recently ap-
peared an advertisement which included
these words:
How many bills for needless visits
does the telephone save! How many
groundless fears does 1t dispel! In times
of doubt you ring up your doctor, and
in few moments that reassuring voice
will be telling you what you should do,
and whether the cost of a visit need
be incurred.
The proposition is not one that COM
mends itself to some representatives of
the medical profession who are strongly
of the opinion that patients, like Vic
torian children, should be seen and not
heard-or at least not heard over the
telephone, where there is a risk of a
little fee-dodging, in addition to the
not unnaturally increased difficulties of
diagnosis.
One of the doctors has been writing
to the British Medical Journal to point
out that If he were to save needless
visit" to an insured person by using the
telephone and 'if some unfortunate cir
cumstance arose through neglect of
visitation" he, the doctor in question,
would be severely reprimanded' by the
ministry of health.
Another doctor says that he has writ
ten to the post office itself strongly pro-
testing against the advertisement and
indicating that at is most unfair of a
government department deliberately to
incite members of the public to extract
gratuitous advice of the medical pro-
fesSion"

New u. S. Golf Tees
Interest Australian.

The Bulletin, Sydney-To the Editor
I have been much interested in a
description of an American invention
for picking up wooden tees. Tees cost
shilling a hundred and naturally the
possible loss of one revolts Scotsmen
and American millionaires, both greatly
addicted to golf.
This improved tee has a tiny magnet
attached to it by string. The wooden
clubs have a steel button at the grip
end, and by placing this on the magnet
the tee comes to hand without any
necessity for bending. With the irons
the head of the club is used, of course.

matineeS and calling and more formal
events, you will be wanting one Of the
perfectly fascinating ostrich-trimmed
velvet chapeaux such as are making
so glamorous a showing on autumn
and millinery collections. There is
that note Of elegance and the prettily
feminine about them which goes back
10 the gay COS for inspiration.
The coloring of the three velvet nats
shown at the top in the picture, Is
just too delectable for words. The
ravishing velvet sailor depicted to the
left is In that new blackberry tone
which can scarcely be distinguished
from black itself. 1t seems that In
Paris several of the best designers are
preferring this glorif1ed berry tone to
deadly black. The trio of lovely os-
trich tips on this hat are in petunia
shades.
The coquettish little toque conferred
above is one of the new fatigue types
which, by the way. are considered a
''last word" when it comes to up-and-
coming millinery. Its success de-
ponds on tipping it at exactly the cor
rect angle over the right eye. as you
see in the picture. The model shown
is developed Of gray velvet ribbon with
two little ostrich tips emerging from
along its center seam.
Narrow velvet ribbon is stitched to-
gether row-and-row for the ostrich
bedecked hat to the right. This is one
of the Renaissance beret types of
which we are hearing and are destined
to hear so much about this season.
The wee ostrich tips are in violet
tones.
The light blue draped felt toque GEN.
tered in the illustration is trimmed
with novelty feather which has been
dyed matching light blue.

It's the Tyrolean influence which

frivolous little feather posing most
anywhere that looks nonchalant.
In the group illustrated, the hats in

exactly in step with the mood of the

The Egyptian cat is domesticated

behavior and its weird voice were the
cause of its being regarded as sacred

the race has survived. Modern Egyr.

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
LaxatiVes?

Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take ''double dose" day
or two later. Nor will mild liquid
: laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may keep you
constituted as long as you keep on
using it.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based on SIENNA

not become dependent on this form

removed. which explains why

No wonder she hesitated about telling
a story which they contradicted, when

though why he wanted them, she could
not tell. In that case, it seemed very
unlikely he would ever return them to
