Suitable Clothing important.

"Still another factor in the produc-
tion of colds, pneumonia and other re-
spiratory diseases is carelessness or ig.
norance Of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting

down by Commissioner NJ. ]. Ryan.
that Natural gas company can not
force consumers with whom it has
dealt in competition with another

exclusively. The decision was given
in the complaint against the Green's

in Fayette county. 1t is charged
that the company when it found that
its rivals supply was failing, noti-
fed consumers that they must elect
to deal with it exclusively or lose
service. The commission is of the
opinion in view of the dual service.

Mourning Bands"
Approved by Wilson

Washington, May 27. = President
wilson's endorsement of the plan OF
DIR. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman. and
other members of the women's COM
mittee of the Council of National De-
fense, that a black arm band with a
gold star, instead of mourning. be
worn by American women who lose
members of their family in the ser
vice of the nation, is announced.
Doctor Shaw believes the wearing
of such insignia better expresses than
mourning the feeling of the American
people that losses OF men in battle are
a matter of glory rather than of pros
tIating grief and depression.

is supplied to the soldiers and
sailors in the camps and canton
ments, and that the sending of
food to these men by their friends
and families is not in any respect
necessarily that the aggregate guam.
tity of food thus privately sent is
enormous, and that much of it,
having been conveyed long dis.
tances in heated express or mai

consequently injurious to the
health of the men. Therefore, in
the interest of the conservation OF
food, and also in the interest OF
the men. the Council of National
Defense requests the public to dis
continue the sending of foodstuffs
to the camps"
