MANS DRESS ABSURD,
a. Injurious to Health as Woman's
Mothers Club Hears.

Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake thinks
that mems clothes are just as lincoln
Portable and injurious to health as
women's, and as they are the lords OF
creation and women follow meekly in
their footsteps she holds them re-
sronsible for the irrational clothirs
of both sexes. Talking to the New
York City Mothers Club, she said:
Men wear atrocious clothes. They
ale both hideous and uncomfortable
and detrimental to health. / should
think they would be glad to put on
women's clothes. These poor. miser-
able men, feel sorry for them when
| see them dressed in the same
clothes that they wear in winter when
the thermometer is above so. 1t
must be perfectly awful to wear
clothes like that in hot weather. If
| were q lord of creation would try
to adapt my clothes to the climate
Professor Mary Schenck Woolman,
of Teachers College, had been talking
about women's clothes and has told
some startling things about their alb
surdities.
eve are not quite so bad as we used
to be" said Mrs. Woolman -Four.
teen years ago / got woman to let me
weigh her clothes and found that she
had been carrying around twenty-four
pounds. And it had never occurred
to her that her clothes were heavy.
In another case found a woman
wearing twenty-five thicknesses of
cloth around her waist and only one
over her chest"
Mrs. Woolman also said that women
were not interested in their homes, a
fact which she attributed to defective
education. For the same reason, she
said, they didn't know how to buy,
and that by insisting on cheapness
while they knew nothing about quail
ity they force manufacturers into
adulteration and dishonesty. In these
matters Mrs. Blake also came to the
defence of her sex.
For every woman who neglects
her home" she said, "there is a man
who neglects his. And it is no won
der If we want things cheap, for we
are the pauper sex. When a woman
works hard rearing children and TAX
ing care of house she has a right to
an adequate share of her husband
income, but she has only what he
chooses to dole out to her. OF course,
husbands are generally good fellows,
quite as good as their wives as a rule,
though that may not be saying very
much, but they don't always see that
theirs by right. New York Tribune.

Where they have found the lands as

they have found that the property

raises have been made.

be an international jury to award

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. It is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan
