In speech which Congressman Tarsney is

glory of the sunshine in the east before his
head sought his pillow. They say the present

Shall We Have Warming Pans Again?

Shall We Have Warming Pans Again?
From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There is an old-time institdtion that ought
to be revived, and that is the warming pan.
One authority says that, according to medical
protest against damp or cold beds. warming
pans should come into fashion again. One
medical writer says: Not only the guest but
the family often suffer the penalty Of sleeping
IN cold rooms and chilling their bodies at a
time when they need all their bodily heat by
getting between cold sheets. Even in warm
summer weather a cold, damp bed will get in
its deadly work. 1t is a needless peril and the
neglect to provide dry rooms and beds has in
it the elements Of murder and suicide" Peo-
pie crawl into the chilly sheets and spend half
an hour in getting the bed warm" when the
warming pan would put them into q coy bed
that would give them warmth instead of taking
il from them. We look to see the warming
pan become fad
