The United States health bureau
has Issued a bulletin attacking the
winter flannel superstition. The
health bureau says wear the same
undertaking winter and summer!
that the skin will attend to its normal
functions if unhampered by fannels,
which are never hygienic. The health
bureau declares that people who do not
wear winter flannels escape the pen
alties which nature metes out to those
who violate her laws, not because the
protective envelope of the body is
permitted to perform its important
duties of regulating the body heat
and the exhalations of the system.
The logical dressing should be for
indoors in winter and when the cold,
inclement season is on, outside
"'wraps" should be donned to keep
us comfortable when out doors.

EX-cONVcTS' HELP
NOBODY WANTS MAN WITH A
"REcoRD," SAYS PRISON
INVESTIGATOR.

New York, Oct. 23.-Finding a job
for the man just out of prison is a
discouraging task, in the experience OF
representative of the Prison Associa-
ton of New York, who has undertaken
the mission for the past few months.
Nobody wants the. man with a rec
ord" he has discovered. The reasons
given are as varied as the kinds of
work he tried to get for the men.
The manager of one of the largest
employment bureaus said he had re-
ceived within recent months more than
5000 applications from capable work
ers; for only a portion of whom work
was found, work being given to those
who had the highest references and
standing.
| In an especially large cigar business
in New York all employees are bonded
on previous records. The employment
manager was asked If his house would
offer work to discharged prisoners,
|
providing the bonding company was
willing to trust them upon sound rec
concentrations The manager regretted
that he was not free to assume respon-
sibility at this time.
In one of the largest department
stores of the city the employment man.
ager stated frankly that his company
would not even consider the employ
ment of released prisoners.
In another great dry goods house
with small army Of employees the
employment manager personally would
trust tho right men, but in the case Of
his company there we're underlying OBJ
jections, among which was the fact
