HOW TO KEEP WARM.
Breathe Well and So Keep the Blood
Circulating
Youths Companion.

ia >
Many persons who suffer from cold ex-
tremities accept the discomfort as a condi-
ton which is natural, and therefore beyond
their control. The remedy really lies with
themselves, and does not consist in hug
ging the stove or staying indoors, or in
any other artificial protection.
The reason one feels cold first in the ex-
tremeties is rot alone because they are the
remotest points reached by the blood in its
circulation, but also because they contain
a network of the minute blood vessels
known as capillaries, in which the blood
current tends to stagnate. When this hap
pens, the nerves, unwarmeG by fresh blood,
ache in consequence.
The small boy who leaves a warm house
on a cold winter morning usually starts on
the run. or rOmps about for a while in the
snow. This activity gives such an impetus
which it necessitates that the boy is soon
in q glow. Not everyone can initiate the
boys activity or enjoy his fun, but all can
initiate his breathing.
Breathing completes the circulation. The
heart pumps the blood out through the ar
%teries. which become smaller and smaller
until they are microscope; rms may be In
the wall of the heart itself or in the great
toe, but wherever IL Is the blood current
there becomes almost s~tafynant. 1t is as if
a river had debouched into a broad lake.
ON the other side of the AXE are the
venous capillaries with which the arterial
capillaries connect and which carry the
blood back To the heart. The question
whether the blood shall ~Stagnat here or
be frequently renewed is, then, a matter
of providing for its speedy entrance into
the venous capillaries and its subsequent
movement through the larger veins TO the
heart. This in turn is a matter of breath
ing, because breathing. by it's suction-like
action-the so-called aspiration of the
thoraX-accelerates the speed of the blood
on its return 10 the heart. a deep breath
thus makes its Influence felt at those dis
tant points where blood is hating and
nerves are tingling.
The rule for keeping warm is, therefore,
first 10 clear the nose and then to breathe
well. both deeply and rapidly.

The Dry Goods Trade.

The jobbing OF dry goods during the year
Just closed shows a large increase over the
business OF the previous year. Not only
was there more goods sold, but the goods
were distributed over a larger area last
year than ever before. The volume of
business of the wholesale dry goods houses
OF Indianapolis in 1903 is conservatively es-
timated at Sc, OOO,O 900. This is an increase of
$500. 900 over the estimated volume of the
business during 1902. The dry goods job
bling last year by the local houses was of
the most satisfactory character.
The past month the market has been a
rising one. In fact. the tendency of this
market mas been toward higher prices all
year. But this did not nave the slightest
effect toward decreasing sales. Cotton
goods. especially, show a decided advance
In price over the prices which prevailed a
year ago. The past year has recorded an
unusually large sale Of woolens, especially
blankets. The same thing can be said of
cotton blankets. OF which there has been
a great scarcity the larger part of the
year. The demand for knit underwear the
past year is unprecedented. Many of the
most popular lines have been scarce.
II is the sentiment Of the representative
merchants that the indianapolis dry-goods
market has grown in Importance the past
year as never before. This fact is evil
denced by the fact that a larger number
OF the first-class retailers nave recognized
the local houses the past year to a greater
extent than ever before. The advance ord
ers for spring and late winter deliveries
now on file cover a wider range of terri
tory than was ever the case at the begin
ming of a new year.
Il don't think the large increase in the
price OF cotton goods has decreased the
sales in this line to the smallest extent
yesterday said a member of one Of the
South Meridian-street stores. AT present
dry goods generally are about the cheapest
article Of merchandise in the market. Dry
goods now are from Is to 20 per cent.
cheap than they were ten years ago. And
there is amargin for further advance. 1t
looks as II the 1904 market will show de-
cided strength. The outlook for the new
year is splendid. and customers generally
show an exceptionally good ability to pay.
For the year 1904 L predict a hrst-class job
bling trade In dry goods"

The Provision Trade.

Hog products sold on a wide range dur
ing the past year. May pork for 1903 sold
as high as $3.50 and as low as $3.50. The
low point for May, 1904. so far is s1 per
Dbl. In lard for the same month the high
was sl0.27h, the low s7.S5; this year $3.50.
In short ribs the top price was $10.O21k, the
low $7.12hs, while for May, 1904, it has sold
as low as s5.S71a.
/ am satisfied the packers are not putting
the product in the salt as largely as here
tofore. They are selling more fresh meats
and the demand is on the increase. This is
accounted for by their ability TO ship a
good distance in refrigerator cars, thus
supplying small towns that heretofore de-
pended on local butchers.
All this argues that the heretofore cur
ing of meats is being neglected and the
provision market is very apt to some day
take on a cottOn-like boom-that is. there
will be such shortage of cured meats that
il Will be termed a famine by the fellows
who may be short.
Our corn is not of the quality TO make
large pork. The run of hogs the past week
fell short an average of 12k lbs. under last
years average.

SHE FLOORED JOHN MITCHELL.

o Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, was the guest

a man at the dinner was better groomed
than he, and many not as well. His even
ing clothes fitted him, and they were cut
by a tailor who knew his business, whether
union or nOn-uniOn.
His speech was a calm, dispassionate ar
gument for what is known i'm labor circles
as the trade agreement. In it, he said.
was the salvation OF labor and capital. Un-
der 1t both sides become more conservative,
and more willing to sacrifice a part of their
demands, and with each passing year the
industries in which trade agreements pre-
more permanent foundation of peace.
In answer TO questiOners he said that Ia
Dor unions should not mix in politics; he
did not believe in unions Incorporating, be-
cause then ii would allow suits to be
brought against every individual member,
and capital did not incorporate to assume,
but TO evade responsibility; and that he
didn't believe the cost of labor should de-
pend on the cost of commodities, or vice
versa.
Every laborer should receive a wage
that should enable him to live as a man,
and not a thing he said. He advocated
the ruin of employers, If need be, to bring

SERVICE PENSION BILL.
Department Commander Smith Issues
a Statement.


Department Commander Smith, of the
Kansas G.. A R.. is sending out the
following circular letter to the Grand
Army posts in Kansas:
In a recent letter I called your at
tention to the action of the national en-
campment in recommending the passage
of service pension bill. Such a bill is
now pending in Congress, having been
approved by the national pension COM
mittee Of the Grand Army of the Re
public.
l need not argue the justice of this
bill nor the urgency that exists for its
passage. Every veteran who followed
the flag from 81 to '65 and knows the
perilS and hardships of army life. be-
heves that justice and equity demand
the passage of a service pension act
The department commander has been
officially informed that the question of
how many comrades are living who
never applied for pension is to be
very important matter in considering
the service pension bill 1 therefore re-
quest every post in this department to
make a complete roster of all members
OF the Grand Army of the Republic,
and also an additional list of all ex-
soldiers known to them, and as far as
possible mark those who have never
applied for a pension. These rosters
and lists should give the full name, age
and postoffice address. x-prisoners of
war should be checked on the list. and
all who are totally blind or helpless by
paralysis and other diseases requiring
the constant attendance of another
person. To be valuable these facts
should be gathered with care, that the
pension committee may have some Off
cial data to eomDare with the guesses
of the department clerks.
1 recommend that Immediately after
reading this letter the adjutant call the
roll of the post and let each member
present give such information as he
may possess covering the. above ques-
lions, and forward the report to de-
partment headquarters as soon as pos
sibIe.
Comrades, eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty Intelligently directed
effort is the key to success. Let us be
vigilant in our efforts to secure for ev-
cry veteran of the civil war that which
he earned upon the battlefield and IN
the prison pen. If every one will give
two or three hours time to furnishing
the testimony sought, the victory will
be won and thousands of hearts made
to beat in grateful recognition of JUS
tfce long deferred.
The bill now pending in Congress pro-
vides that every survivor of the war
of 1876 who served for period OF
ninety days and was honorably dis
charged, having reached the age of s.
years, shall be pensioned at the rate OF
