A correspondent writes asking me If I

I certainly do not think a quick, cold
plunge tn the morning bad for the com

the physique. It Is sure to agree with

If. on the other hand, the cheeks are pur

the cold both that explain why English
women who have such lovely complexions

English women are vary sure of the ef

What Mr. Hickman Says.
Mr. T. I. Hickman, president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers’ As
sociation, numbering 700 members arid
probably controlling 75 per cent of the
Kouthern mills and 10 per cent of
those of New England—when asked
v/hat he thought about the prospects
for business for the cotton millet, es
pecially In reference to the present
state of affairs In Europe, says "that
If the seas cap he kept open, he thinks
there is no doubt hut that the Ameri
can cotton manufacturers will be very
busy, not only In supplying the ex
port markets, hut especially In look
ing after the American markets,
which will undoubtedly take up a very
much larger percentage of home
products than ever before. This Is
owing to the fact that there will he
no Importation of fine goods Into this
country from Germany and France,
which countries have sent ua enor
mous quantities of goods In past
years, particularly since the new tariff
went Into effect. For this latter rea
son, our Imports have Increased at
the rate of a million dollars a month
for the past twelve months."
The United Slates has never im
ported cotton goods to any extent
from England, so that the competi
tion which will still exist there,
through England’s mastery of the sea
and consequent ability to ship, will
not Interfere with American mills.
The price of cotton goods Is bound to
go up and stay up, which with the In
evitable low price of cotton, will bring
In dividends from mills that had been
given up as lost.
ll Is predicted that if the European
