Flannel Clothing.

If dry wooden clothing be put on i'm
mediately after exercise, the vapor FROM
the surface of the body is condensed in
and upon the wool, and the heat which
has become latent in the process of evap-
Grafton is again given off. Flannel
clothes, therefore, put on during pers2i-
ration always feel warm, whereas cot
ton and linen articles allow the perspira-
ton to pass through them, so that the
evaporation and cooling processes are
unchecked
There is therefore an obvious reason
for selecting flannel clothing for wear
ing after active exertion. Anindividual
who is perspiring freely is far less likely
to take cold when clad in flannel than
when clad in linen or cotton. DR.. Poore
thinks that cotton might be made to ac-
quire properties similar to those of wool
by adopting looser method of weaving
the material. If linen or cotton be wov n
Sin loose, porous fashion, these fabrics
then become, as heat retainers, scarcely
inferior to WOOL"
Woolen fabrics cause sensation of

GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick from weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom We tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was q
few mouthfuls of graham bread at
a meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired, Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least WEAKNESS; her appetite 10
such, she relishes anything a hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
years l have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them

publican politicians of all degrees,
swarmed in the Hobbies of the Ar
lington hotel today, in anticipation
of a meeting of the Executive COM
mittee of the National Republican
committee. At noon the committee
went into secret session for the
discussion of its business matters.
The two questions of greatest in
terest relate to finances and the
establishment of committee head
quarters. Two currents are at work
in the committee, one urging the
maintenance of permant head
quarters with no cessation in the
work of political education of
voters, the other holding that it is
only necessary to open quarters
each campaign. The two cities be-
tween which the committee waivers,
are New York and Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.-Chair-

tional committee, has issued call
for a meeting of the executive COM
mittee at the Arlington hotel here
today.
There is no business of especial
importance to come before the
meeting. One of the questions 10
be determined will be that OF es-
tablishing permanent headquarters
either In Washington or New York
with a view to cooperating with
the different state committees for
an aggressive campaign all along
the line. The Republican leaders
are greatly encouraged by their re-
cent successes in New York, Ohio
and Massachusetts. The intention
of the National committee, so far
as outlined, is to begin an immedi-
ate campaign of education, with
the purpose, if possible, of carrying
the congressional elections next au-
tumn and strengthening the party
lines for the contest of 1896.
