Too EARLY CHANGEs.-Don't be in haste
to put of woolsn garments in spring. Many
"bad cold," rheumatism, lumbago, and
other aches and pains, are lurking in the

morning, never in the aftsrpart Of the day,
when the energies are partly atated, and
the air Is usually growing cooler. Many .
consumption has been contracted, by un-
dressing for IN evening party.
