The New South Wales postal author!- ' • ties state that the question ,of telephone subscribers being allowed to use sanitary appliances on their telephones for the purpose of preventing danger "from contagion has recently been ttJ--; ceiving consideration, and the attention of subscribers is being drawn.to the;•&•" vantages, from a sanitary point of view, to be derived from the daily cleansing of the mouthpiece of every, telephone. A suggestion is made that • clean rag , ■ or duster soaked in a weak solution of formalin be used for 'the purpose, *lse> that it. would be a further advantage . if a clean linen duster were kept »uspended near to every telephone, available for application by each user. '. It b added that steps are being taken fer the public telephone* of the department to be cleaned and disinfected M often as possible. ". . ;"'/'' *,'■.-.
