The clothing which is worn next
to the body should be changed
once day during warm weather.
1t is not over-fatidious or extreme
dainty to insist upon fresh stock
lngs and undervests each day. 1t
is merely hygienic. The pores of
the skin are very active in warm
weather and give off a great many
impurities. The clothing absorbs
them, and to wear the same body
garments for any length of time is
to run the risk of reabsorbing the
impurities.

may encourage the growth lies in
the fact that unless the roots are

1t came into general recognition

Prof. Goesmnnn of the Massa-

that a ton of bran contains about
sixty pounds moro Of protein than

that it is moro digestiblo.
1t is a curious fact that eggs of
the purest white are laid by the
black breeds-Blaek Spanish and
Black Minorca-and these are the
