The sponging of Woolen Dress Goods and Cloths has become a necessity.
The proper time to sponge goods is just before they are made up as the
steam gives new life to the wool and adds much to the appearance of the
goods.
Goods which require sponglng are Broad Cloths, Covert Cloths, Kerseyl.

it (‘auses Dyspepsia and Perhaps Ap-
pendicitis.
it was recently announced by a well-
kuown New York medical man that
the reason Americans suffer so much
from dyspepsia is because they do not
know how to sit correctly. says the
New York Herald. ()wrng to the bad
positions in sitting that Amcrlcans
adopt the stomach is crowded out of
propI-r functions.
Now comes a surgeon well known in
suggestion that appendiritis is mor
rommon in Amman than in other
countries because of the Yankee habit
of habitually sitting with one leg
thrown oier' the other.
Many Iauses have been quoted for
appendicitis. but none has satisfactor-
ily explained why man should more
frequently suffer from the disease than
w.omerr or why Yankees should suffer
from it far more frequently than oth-
ers. g
"The habit of sitting with the legs
crossed." says the surgeon. “restricts
the action of the digestive apparatus
especially of the lower intestine. and
causes) stagnation of the contents and
the stretching of the opening of the
vcrmiform appendix making it pas-
silric for obstructions to reach the lat-
tor organ anri thus causing appendici—
