Wears Heaviest Suits and Overcoat
in the Good Old Summer Time.
The coolest man in the world is
said to be Frank NJ Bemis, of Column
bus, O., a well-known travelling man
for a Michigan furniture house. Mr.
Bemis is afflicted with strange dis
ease which the doctors are unable
to cure and which keeps him uncom-
fortably cold even during the hottest
days of summer. All the year he is
obliged to wear five suits of under
clothing, a heavy overcoat, the heav-
lest suit he can find and large pair
of boots, together with several pairs
of socks.
Despite all this, he is always cold,
although in other respects he is in
the best of health. He sleeps under
eight blankets, number of quilts
and with boots, overcoat and other
clothes on. Notwithstanding this he
is none too warm While at home
his gas bill is in the neighborhood
of $50 a month.
