POISON IN FLANNEL AND HOSE.

The best quality of blue flannel, from
which the comfortable summer suits are
made, is all wool and dyed with indigo,
But there are cheaper qualities, some of
which not only ''crock"and stain the skin
wherever they touch it, while moist with
perspiration, but produce effects that plain
ly Indicate poisonous material in the dye.
4 case of this kind was recently reported
to our city health authorities, in which
nervous tremors and partial paralysis
ensued from wearing a suit Of cheap blue
flannel for a single day. There are also
some shades of brown used in hosiery,
which produce excessive irritation of the
skin, wherever they come in contact with
it. The public should be very cautious in
buying cheap blue f~lannels and other low
priced summer clothing.

1t is a good thing for the voter to make
his protest against the liquor traffic in the
prayer netting or by his manner of life,
as well as the Lord and people, that he
wants the saloon closed, there is but one
method by which nc can be recognized,
but just ono law under which his opinion
can declare ITSELF, aud his conviction make
itself felt, and that law and method are full
filed when he drops into the box a ballot
that calls for Prohibition. Frances Willard.
