TBF NEW LAW for the regulation of the ''sociaI
evil' in st. Louis, is said already to have ex-
hibited decidedly beneficial effects in imposing
restraints upon the evil which called it into
being amidst the faithlessness and serious oppo-
sitions OF large and influential portion OF the
community. The number of dsreputable
females has already been materially diminished,
while the nuisance in respectable neighborhoois
is being rapidly abated. The Protestant clergy
for the most part denounced the law as a
violation of the divine principle Of making no
compromise with sin; overlooking the equally
divine maxim that ii Is both wise and expedient
TO control and ameliorate an evil which cannot
be radically cured. A philanthropic Catholic
priest, OF the other hand, has been conspicuous
ly active in obtaining the passage Of the law in
question and in furthering its objects. A large
body OF the most moral and enlightened citizens
are in full sympathy with the movement So
that the experiment, which is of vital impor-
tance to the whole community, is like to have
fair trial Meanwhile the subjects of the
rigid surveillance which has been established
are diminishing, hundreds having left the city or
abandoned their Oiions traffic. The results nav
be that what was designed only for a re gulation
Of vice will prove to be the most effectual mode
OF suppression.

SUMNER CLoTHING-FOr all persons especi-
ally lnvailds, and those who take cod easily a
thin material of woellen gauze next 10 the skin
Is safest and best, because:
Eiret-It is nOn-conductor, carries heat from
the body more slowly than cotton, linen. or silk;
all colds are caused by the body becoming
colder than natural, especially If il is made
colder rapidly, and woollen material next the
skin is the best thing known to prevent this rapid
coolng, especially after exercise which has
caused perspiration, and does not cause that
disagreeable sepulchral dampness which wet
linen does when it comes in contact with the
skin.
The warmer the weather, the more need for
woolen next the skin; hence British sailors are
required to wear woollen next the skin in tropi-
cal latitudes in summer as the best observed
protection against disease.
All garments worn next the skin during the
day should be removed at night and spread out
for thorough airing and drying.
Cotton is the best material to be worn next
the skin at night. All changes from a heavier
to lighter clothing in summer should be made
by putting on the lighter clothing at the first
dressing in the morning.
1t is greatly safer for children, for invali,ls.
and old persons to have too much clothing than
too little.-HdUs Journal Of Health.
