The relation Of animal heat to health
and proper digestion is very close.
Good health is never secured except by
proper attention to clothing. This
should nc neither too heavy nor too
stanty. Tho annual heat is too largely

laid aside until closing time reminds
him OF tho journey home. The result
is. that at times he is too warm and at

wonders how he has taken cold. Tho
thickness Of clothing must bc propor-
toned to thedcg.cc of exercise, whether
indoors or outdoors. One would not SAW

day. Tho wise man, however, would
put ii. on when he bad finished his job.
