TIE MOTHER N-LAW.
This Authority Says Tint Husbands

Those of us who are in the way of
reading the comic papers have regarded
the alleged aversion of men to mothers
in-law as merely kind Of stock-in-
trade joke that was q conveniency to
cheap wits. 1t seems, however, tina:
the feeling is recognized as such in law
as in q recent case where man sued his
mothcrin-law to recover some property

whether they entertained prejudice,
either generally or specifically against
mothers-in-law that would prevent
their rendering iustyerdict. AT last
twelve good men and true, presumably
bachelors, We're found who testified to
having no feeling on the mother-in-law
question. and the case proceeded.
Probably very few men would admit
to being Influenced by the stale and
silly gibcs at mothers-in-law, but that
they have great weight is proven by the
attitude that almost every man takes
toward his wife's mother. He has
been warned by the comic papers that
she will attempt to manage him and
run his house: that she will inc;te his
wife to acts Of independence. and ''put
her up" to defying his opinion. So he
is on his guard. He looks upon her
with suspicion. and is apt to think that
the most harmless suggestion is I'M
warranted interfering.

Protection Against Colds.

While everyone admits the necessity
that exists for guarding against eN-
posture, especially when there are sud

arc very few persons who take these i'm

They are chilly when the weather

The shoulder cape comes into use and
the feather boa or wrap that is pulled
up close about the neck and covers the
chest. This is precisely the region
that needs the least protection in these
changes. IT. instead of this thicker
shoes and warmer hose were put on and
a warmer covering for the limbs were
afforded, the trunk of the body could

and exposed eNtremities and too much
wrapping around the body creates con-
gcstion and pavcs the way for disease.
The hygienic and sensible method is to

this sort is Of great advantage, but this

Control of the Island.

military commissions We're drawn up

left Washington and are now ready to
be delivered to the president of each be-
fore he leaves. The instructions will
not be made public, but their general
terms are known to be the same as the
instructions sent TO General Shafter re-
garding tho government of Santiago,
and to General Merritt regarding the
Philippine. This will mean that the
military commission will take control of
Cuba and Porto Rico the same as the
military governor now controls that
portion of Cuba surrendered to the
United States after the Santiago cam
paign. The many minor details rela-
tive to the evacuation of the islands are
left to the commission who will report
any difficult or disputed points to Wash
ington. There never has been doubt
that the United States would take full
control Of Forto Rico, but the instruc-
tions to the Cuban military commission
settles any question regarding that
island and means that, for the present
at least, the United States will assume
the government and control Of the re-
mainder Of the island as has been the
