WEARING FLANNHL.-The majority OF peo-
pie are not aware of the beneficial effects Oh
and warm weather. Flannel is not uncomfort-
able in warm weather as prejudiced people be-
lieve. Frequent colds and constant hacking
coughs have left me since adopting flannel gar

waist, which condemns the wearing Of flannel
with those who prefer wasp waists to health
for IN that case the flannel can be cut as loosely
