Tho editor of the Meillcul Hivlrw (if
Reviews gives the telephone jucHt credit
for IniprovliiK tlio health a ml welfare of
communities, lto piiys;
"The telephone hns I'een a inlylity fuc-
tor In ImprovliiK the health und welfnio
of the community. Health butenUH have
been able to aecompllHh their work more
rapidly nmt effectively by two of the tele
phone. Ambulance service has been de
veloped to a high state of efficiency
throilRh the accessibility of telephones
In all part of the community. Hnpldlty
of service, with promptness In telephon
ing, has served to save many lives that
otherwise might have been lost.
"The private practitioner, It Is true, lias
suffered a marked decrease In his emer
gency calls through the recognition of
the value of ambulance service and the
case with which one may be summoned
by telephone. In fact, the doctor's tele
phone Is frequently used to call the am
bulance. Only a few years auo the
nearest physician was called for minor
conditions at all hours of the night. To
day the telephone saves many a long and
needless Journey. Frequently, because of
the knowledge and appreciation that a
physician may bo summoned by telcphoii"
In case of real necessity, the doctor Is
not called at all, as some transitory con
dition has disappeared before morning.
"In contrast to this small loss Is the
gain through telephone visits In lieu of
office calls. Such visits may be regarded
as office visits, on the ground that If
telephones did not exist It would be nec
essary for the patient to seek- advice
at the office."

"Wire for Us and We Will Wire For You"
Savages Very Much
Alarmed Over New
Telephone Cocoamit
"While In the government employ In
the Philippines," says Sanford .lone of
North Yakima, Wash., "I was stationed
on the island of llnsllan, which Is a
small Island In the Siulu archipelago. The
natives of the Island were so unclvllUod
that they did not even know the value
of money, and of com so had never heard
of a telephone. We frequently had them
entertain us with their native dances, and
In turn would fill them with wonder and
aVo with a ponograph which we had
In our outfit. We found it necessary to
put up a telephone line bctwcct two
bill. tllngs that were a little distance apart,
which wo did. One day t found a lather
large coconnut under It tree near the
bamboo hut we were living in, and con
ceived the Idea of making a coconnut
talk. So 1 emptied the contents and
hung It on the outside of the house op
posite the phone, so arranged that we
could put the receiver through th grass
wall and drop It Into the cocoamit.
"We Invited some of tho natives to see
the wonderful cocoamit that wo could
make talk, and with tho nld of an Inter
preter at the other phone who understood
their language we had a lot of fun. tfomo
of the natives were fco frightened they
left the village, and one day a delegation
of natives came mid asked us to burn It
as they did not like to have so uncanny
a thing around. So with great ceremony
and much rejoicing we consigned It to the
flumes, and to this day I suppose they
are telling their children about the co
coamit that. could talk."

At the American Woman's exposition
recently held In Cleveland at least one
third of the floor space was occupied by
electrical conveniences of every descrip
tion. The electrical displays were arranged
In one continuous line down the center
of tho building nnd the crowds eager to
see the latest achievements In this Una
were constantly congested In the two
center aisles.
Beginning with the modern electric
kitchen In which were displayed tho lat
est development In electric ranges, every
kind of an electric appliance was ex
hibited until down to the last booth were
the different sizes nnd shapes of Mnr.da
electric lamps.
This was a double booth and showed
by actual contrast the great improve
meat which has been made In elect)
Intiiiia allien llln flrat linftH Were 11111
thirty years ago. Many people were
vastly Interested In reading the watt
meter which showed tho old carbon lamp
consuming the same amount of current
as the Mazda lamp did while giving three
times as much light as the carbon. A
good deal was also learned about the 1
different sizes of Mazda lamps which i
could be employed In household lighting. .
A lady here learned that sho could use
four Vcn watt tamps In her cluster In- i
stead of one forty-watt nnd that she I
would have as much light with the same
bill for current, nnd with much more
beauty In her lighting arrangement. She
had ofton deprecated unllghtcd sockets,
but thought that she could not have them
all burning, excepting for company, with-
out being extrnvagant.
Another learned, by watching n drawn-
wire Mazda lamp bumping merrily away
on a chain and rod that theso lamps have
been greatly strengthened since sho first
heard of them about three years ago and
that they will stnnd any treatment any
other will stand.
Others learned of the now flve-lamp
carton which enables people to buy five
lamps at n time Instead of one, and so It
went on. Kach person had had exper
ience with tho long hours of winter dark
ness and wns In a receptive mood for
anything which would glvo some good
pointers for future days.

Many Accidents Occur.
Statistics provo conclusively that trie
greatest number of accidents occur dur
ing the dark months and that the larger
per cent of theso are caused by Inade
quately lighted siops; shops in which
the light is not only insutflclent, but
poorly distributed.
Ono of tho new spring motoring cases is
of bronze wicker, having a canvas cover
with snap catches to protect it from the
dust. It Is light and prettily fitted with
elephant hide brushes. It also has a
pouch case for volls and a flat caso fof
extra hatpins.
Woman Discovers an
Easy Way to Clean '
Floor by Vacuum
"Will It take up those pieces," asked
a woman who was curiously watching:
the performance of nn electric vacuum
cleaner at the American Woman's ex
position til Cleveland.
8ho watched while lengthy strings ills-
appeared up the nozzlo like trained
monkeys,
'Just bring your little boy In here nnd
let mo brush up his coat a little," invited
the man.
The youngster unwillingly ndvnnred to
ward tho "mouth" of tho long tube and
manfully stood while it was moved over
his coat. lie fairly wriggled with pride
when the dust bag was opened ind he
was convinced by tho amount of dint In
the bag thai his coat was now dustless.
He evidently considered himself a mighty
good little boy.
The woman remarked as she moved
away that she had discovered an easy
way to do two hard things how to keep
a floor and a boy clean.
Deep. Klrctrlc Pumping-,
The construction of the new Catsklll
aqueduct, which will furnish New York
city's wnter supply when la Unfinished,
Involves many difficult engineering prob
lems, not tho leaBt of which Is seepage,
which would flood the tunnel work It
not properly controlled.
At ono point the contractors have In
stalled an electric pump which Is con
stantly operated at a depth of 476 feet
below the surface. The water It delivers
above ground amounts to almost 100,000
gallons a day.

Store Lighting
A well lighted store is a well advertised store. But few
merchants really know how to properly illuminate their
places of business. What seems satisfactory in one place
of business will not suit in another where conditions aro
different. A flood of direct light is suitable for your
auto headlight, but entirely wrong in a well appointed,
genteel place of business.
If yqu want your place of business properly lighted,
just put the problem up to us.

The Pure Air llluminant
Electric Light burns in a sealed
glass bulb. It neither devitalizes the
air in the home nor gives off products
of combustion. Electric Light is,
therefore, the most healthful and the
cleanest of illuminants. The merest
child can switch Electric Light on or
off without effort and without danger.
The most satisfactory illumin-
ant for reading or sewing is Electric
Light. By its use the darkest corners
of a house are made brilliant.
Have your house wired now.
Your house can be wired at a lurpris
ingly low cost and with but very little
labor and annoyance. You should
have Electric Light it is the most
economical illuminant.
