SwINDLING PRINTERS 1t is no IN
common thing for country publish
ers to receive papers returned to
them marked, "refused,' or mot
taken out" moved west" or some
thing ofthat kind. We can boast Of
having list Of good paying sub
scribe. s, but occasionally we have .
paper returned to us, with something
like the above written upon it. II is
to our minds swindling oftne mean
est kind for IL subscriber who has
received paper regularly for years
to thus defraud the printer OF his
hard earned dnes
The Ti1il Adgsrtissr says: "We
intend. from this time forward, IN
der the heading of ''Rogues List" to
publish list Of all those who at.
tempt to defraud the printer out Of
his just dues. We think if this
course was adopted by the press
there would he less at
tempts at swindling. The way to
stop psper is to settle for it at the
time it is discontinued. We hope
all interested will take notice"

think it excusat'le when be hears
women complaining of all the ills
conceivable, and sers them 90 into
the streets, or out to walk with only
thin shoes and thin cotton stockings
on their feet, and know they have NO
adequate protection for their limbs

to know some women who have re-
covered health by learning how to
make themselves comfortable-hoN
to clothe their persons so as to keel
the temperature of all parts of the
body uniform. And we have known
scores of poor women who went pre-
maturely to their last rest because
they never learned the comfort of he
ing warmly clad. There are plenty
OF lnhuman mothers left. who will
sacrifice child health in order that
she may ''look pretty" or look as
well as somebody's else child does
There are very few days pass that

During the damp and cold season
deficient dress of the feet and legs is
a fruitful source of disease. The
head, throat. and liver are perhaps

mass like the trunk, but extended
and enveloped BY the atmosphere.-I
Besides, they are near the damp,

reasons, they require extra covering.

our extremities more dress than the
