The Dry Goods Economist has the courage to recommend as worthy of patriotic and economic consideration :he omission of dress as an emblem of icep bereavement! “We cannot win 'ng crape,” it says, g depression, creating discourage- ment, it is our duty—it should be our ivilege—to maintain a high heart, vitalize the fizhting spirit, to do all the war by wear- instead of spread- \hat lies in our power to keep our in trim for the further ef- the further trials that it must ‘face before final victory shall perch 5n its banners and on those of its al- ies.

In many instances rich mourning ostumes are more closely allied to vanity than to sorrow. The shortage of raw materials which enter into the manufacture of clothing, and the promise of a di- minishing stock is the ground upon which this novel but necessary pa- triotl> recommendation is made.

If you come in from exercise or drill sweating fréely, try to cool off grad ually instead of allowing yourself to get chilled.
