Familiarity is said to breed contempt
and it may well be tho the frequent
use of the telephone by p ysicinus may
lead to forgetfulness of the fact that
that useful servant cannot be relied on
at conform to medical ethics. A recent
Incident reported from Bay City. Mich.
emphasizes this feet. A man is said
to have entered a public telephone box
and called 11p a messenger to go four
miles into the country and tell his wife
that he could not ,come home because
he had smallpox. The operator heard
it. and very properly notified the police
and health officers. whereupon the toie~
phone booth was fumigated and the au-
thorities went In search of the suspect,
, 3 and. among other things. a smallpox
score was started.
Thor is. of course, just :1 bare pos-
sibility that the smallpox was of the
kind insisted on by the Christian Scien-
tists, viz. an idea of very mortal mind
and otherwise non-existent: if It were
not so. it was clearly the duty of the
patient to go to an isolation hospital
and have the message transmitted
from there. instead of Illfccting a pub-
lic place, which. from its confined area,
~ was specially linbleto receive and re-
’ taih infection. lIlowovar. while In the
I present instance we must commend the
action of the operator,I who chanced to
overhear. for taking such prompt steps
in the. public Interest, we cannot over-
look the fact that he or she did over-
. hear and must draw thelnfercnco that
telephones, like walls. have ears. and

were the whispclell words. The baby

hop‘s neck and laid its head upon his
shoulder, its yellbw culls mingling
with his gray hair
'Lost child, " said the bishop in his
deep, sympathetic voice. ' Does auyom-
in the audience know this baby or to
whom it belongs? Will the father 0i
mother came and claim it?"
There was a silence and the baby
nestled closer, and the women who sat
near said “Oh!“
Then a mun was seen making his
way to the altar. It was the baby's fa.
thor. instantly the child stretched out
its arms to go to him. Then as he
gave it up the bishop said:
