Flanncls for Winter Wear.

During the inclemcnt seasons of our
mort hcrn and middle latitudes it becomes
the Christian duty of every woman hav-
inc the care of family to see that they
are provided with clothing suitable to
rcpeI the riGors OF our freaky cline,
where often Il series of sudden changes
are the only indicat; ;ons that we are hav-
ing .'sett!ed" weather.
TO repcl the disastrous effects of sud-
den climate changes. there is nothing
more reliable than good flannel under
clothing, not the knit garments which
vour merchant sells you for merIno, and
which generally prove to be cotton, but
rood, all wool fiannels. which you may
buy by the yard and fashion to your
fancy.
Especially for the old and feeble and
for the weak and delicate of all ages is
flannel a necessity
PHYSICIANS recommend flannel for the
chilly season, and some recommend that
a light art. Gle bc worn even in the heat
of summer, but here l would disagree
with them.
The red 'medicated' flannel is that
usually recommended by physicians,
and it certainly has rare properties of
imparting warmth and vigor to the body
and preventing against severe and sud-
den attacks of cold.
Mothers. though you may be COM
pellcd to leave the ribbon and the featil-
cr in the shop, do not neglect to pro-
vide yourselves and your delicate little
ones with good flannel underclothing.
You may save many doctors bills, and
sometimes life itself, by SO doing
