An UNHEALTHY JAIL.
Nineteen Prisoners Sick with Dy-
scntery and Fever.

Another sensational item comes from
our neighboring city at the southern
terminus OF the Jackson Branch Of the
Lake Shore & Southern railroad. The
Adrian Times Of Yesterday says that
on Monday morning last the sheriff Of
that county found nineteen prisoners
in the Adrian Jail all quite i'll. Some
were afflicted with dysentery, and
nearly all showed symptoms o. APP
proaching fever, Of the typhus type.
DIR. Marden, the jail physician, has
had his hands full. The members Of
the Sheriffs family are nearly all com
planning, and the Sheriff himself has
been much under the weather lately.
The cause Of this illness proceeds from
the unhealthy condition Of the sur
roundings. Water closets and privies
have occupied all sorts Of positions in
the rear OF the Jail yard and have been
removed from place 10 place. until the
whole ground is infected with mias-
matte poison, and the recent rains and
warm weather have filed the air with
unwholesome odors.

Economy I'm Clothing.

One OF the most important items in
the family expenses is the clothing. es-
pecially since there is so much of what
is called "cloth" made up, for boys
and men. that will hardly hold togeth-
er. With the average family the in
come is limited, and the prices of shod-
DIV articles are so small that there is a
strong inducement to purchase the So
called "cheap" goods.
IL is perhaps not too much to say
that the majority of people buy low
priced clothing. But, as a matter OF
fact, they are the most expensive goods
that can be worn. A strong, fine text
tured, well-made article will outwesr
at least three of this poor material.
and il does not really cost as much,
considering the amount OF wear, to say
nothing of the shabby appearance of
faded cloth-the vexation of having
the garments continually breaking to
pieces, the necessity Of daily repairs,
with the unsafe feeling when one steps
little high, or puts on AN unusual
strain.
The excuse which we have suggest
ed for buying such goods we know is a
hard one TO meet, being in the malori-
Nv Of cases the want OF money to get
better goods. But il is better TO make
the old coat last little longer, and put
all the money into the rest of the suit,
and when the money one will soon have
TO find TO supply another cheap suit is
at hand, get good coat. AS wise
and economical rule, one should never
purchase anything but good article.
The care Of clothing is a very impor-
tant matter. IL makes q great differ
ence in the looks and wear OF hat on
coat, whether il is thrown down on the
lounge or chair when taken of, or care
fully hung up. With two boys the ex-
pense OF their clothing is often nearly
one-half IN difference-mainly. as we
think, because one OF them will always
hang up his clothes carefully, while
the others may be found anywhere
when they can be found at all. Prop
erly brushing and cleaning clothes,
and mending them as soon as required,
rather than waiting until the thread
ravels out, or the tear has grown too
large TO be neatly repaired, add great
ly TO their durability.
When they get little seedy, have
some tailor who does the work cheap
and well give them a good cleansing
and pressing. This may be done sew
eral times TO good suit, and each
time they will "look as good as new. .
Here is where true economy comes in,
in the care Of clothing, and proper at
tention to repairing and cleansing :
More than half the expense can be
saved in the bill for the year il pains
are taken 20 secure material worthy oi
such care. -fGolden Rule.
