TOWN TOPICS.
PATCHED OUT THE OLD SUIT,

A man is known by the condition Of
his trousers. That sounds odd, doesn t
it? But think it over minute and
you will find that it is pretty generally
true. Since creased trousers have
been the style, men have been as care
full to preserve the crease as they used
to be to get rid of it when they bought
new pair of trousers. CreaSing them
in better shape through constant press
ing. Mems legs look better in conse-
quence of this. But when trousers get
beyond the help of the pressing iron
and the knees bag, and when the ''fray.
ed edge Of care" begins to show at the
bottom, it's time to buy new pair.
That time usually comes to most men
this month. Meigs & Co.'S 24th trou-
ser sale gives you chance 10 patch out
the old suit with a new pair of trousers
at small cost. They say they can fit
any man.

a bowl of hot bone set tea was pre-
scribed followed by soaking the pa
TENTS feet in very warm water. Put
the patient in bed and cover up warm
