MODERN CLOTHING TOO THICK
Heavy Underwear Especially Checks
RespiratOry Action of the
Skin and ExcretiOn.

An evil effect of modern clothing
is that by it's thickness it interferes
with the excreting and respiratory
action of the skin. The work of ex-
erection is thus either thrown upon
other organs already overtaxed or
upon some tissue which the body Sc
lects as a possible medium for elm
ination. Thus it is likely that ca
tarrh is always caused by the mac
tivity of the skin. The matter thus
left in the body through the mac
tivity of the skin seeks egress by
means of the mucous membrane,
which is merely a kind of internal
skin, and thus we have catarrh, says
the Healthy Home. People need pro-
lection in cold weather, but they do
not need their thick clothes in their
warm houses. One of the hardest
things to accomplish in our change
able climate is to remove winter
weight clothes at the proper time
without the usual ensuing colds and
other disorders. Unless exposed to
all weathers in some outdoor en-
ployment, the better way is to wear
light or medium-weight undergar-
ments and suits the year round, de-
pending on heavy outside wraps to
protect the system during outside
exposure in cold or windy weather.

REFORMS IN THE BEDROOM.
IL the Making-Up of Beds, ana
Other Details.

We will be healthier and happier
race when the double bed is BAN
ished. The light iron or brass bed
stead, with a mattress that can De
easily aired and kept clean, is the
bed that ought to be generally used.
The bed covering par excellence is a
lightweight blanket that can be fire.
quently washed and kept soft and
white Tucking the bedclothes tight
ly in is another popular error. The
pra ctice of making up bed almost
alright is as unhealthful as it is un-
clean, says Good Health.
The bed should not be placed
against the wall, but should be ac-
cessible on both Sides. The old
fashion of placing the bed in an al
cove, which cannot be ventilated so
we'll as a large room, is considered
to be all unhygienic one. An excel
lent reason why a bed should not be
placed against the wall is that the
person who sleeps at the rear of the
bed is likely to have his face, dur
ing sleep, so near the wall that his
breath, striking the wall, will be re-
breathed again.
So large a portion of existence is
necessarily spent in sleep that the
location of the bed, the covering and
bedding, and the furniture of the
bedroom should be the subjects OF
consideration and thought. As it is,
too often this is the last room con-
sidered. In many families good
sized closet, with no opening into the
outer air, is considered good enough
for bedroom. Not only should the
bedroom be thoroughly ventilated
and exposed to the rays of the sun,
but the bed clothing should be taken
off and hung in the air and sun for
several hours before the bed is
made up.

PAID BANDIT TO DEPART.
The Cuban Method of Kidding the
Country of a TrOublesOme and
Dangerous Outlaw.

Enrique Mesa, the notorious Cuban
bandit, a worthy successor of Manuel
Garcia and as desperate as the late
outlaw, Harry Tracy, has left Cuba
for a consideration of $500.
Masa had for some time been a
source of great uneasiness to the in
habitants of small towns in the vicin-
ity of Manzanillo, in the province ot
Santiago. He was also thorn in the
side of the rural guard. Like Tracy,
he was a good shot; he was brave
and fearless and a most dangerous
enemy.
It is even said that the officers and
men of the rural guard feared him.
At any rate Mesa killed and robbed
and looted without apprehension by
the rural guard, which is a mounted
military police organization. Mesa
was an officer on this force until he
killed newspaper man with whom
he had dispute over politics. Then
he took to the woods and became a
professional bandit. He surrendered
himself, with a half dozen of the
worst characters in Santiago pro-
vince. Raids were made on many
small towns and the stores sacked by
this gang. The people were afraid to
resist. and the police, too, appeared
anxious to avoid conflict with
the outlaws. In fact, Mesa threat
ened to kill on sight Capt. Betan-
court, of the rural guard, if the lat
ter dared to pursue him.
There are many idle men in that
portion of the country where the
bad man" operated, and his follow
ers increased until they numbered 40.
The people finally got together and
Informed the government that they
would pay Mesa $500 if he would
leave the country. The authorities
agreed to this, and Mesa was waited
on with the proposition.
