he had come to convert the Abyssianian
Jews Are there no Jews In your coun-

admitted that there were a few. And
In all the countries that you have passed
through did you find no Jews or heath

Against WOOIenwear.

Il have myself become convinced by
personal experience that wool next the
skin is a great mistake. l have worn
linen underclothing for three years,
with the result that l have not had a
cold Except a slight one lasting three
days., whereas previously | have al
ways expected three good colds a win
ter (and had them), with a couple of
attacks Of grip thrown in.
'One of the directions in which we
have not improved is In the dressing
of children. They are nowadays sadly
overlooked, particularly as to the legs
and feet. Nor are adults wiser in wear
ing alright patent leather shoes,
which wholly exclude the air from the
feet. which particularly need ventila-
ton. Nothing is more sure than that
the future ARCHAEOLOGICAL will in sum-
mer at least. be of a sandal-like form"
