Without going so far as to say that every
article of mans apparel ought to be wool
en- it is an uudisputed fact that this material
is the best suited for undertaking either in
winter or summer. And the reasons are not
far to seek Neither linen nor cotton is capable
of protecting the body from external heat in
the summer nor of conserving the warmth of
the body in winter because being good CON
ductors of heat they allow it to perneate
Wool, on the other hand, is a non-conductor;
and there is little doubt that the death rate
in this country would he greatly reduced,
and the wards Of the hospitals for disease of
the chest less crowded, were wooden garments
to be worn by young and Ole.
But, to parody the words of an ancient adj
vertiSement, when we ask for wool we should
see that we get it. Two kinds Of articles will
be placed ON the counter before the intending
purchaser-a cheap and dear. The latter,
however, will be the cheaper in the long run,
for ten to one the former is well put to-
gether mixture of cotton and wool 1t is easy
to show any one how to tell such a mixture at
a glance almost, but difficult to describe on
paper, so the novice in this matter should take
some one with him, or her, when going to
shop, and should pay "A fair price and deal
only with respectable tra1esmen.
Beware of wearing dyed fannels next the
skin. | know there is great run on red, but
this color is just as likely to contain poison
Gus matter as any other Silk for the under
garments of men with tender skins has much
to recommend it, though it takes but second
place to wool. Then, in point of cold resist
ing qualities, comes merlno. This may be
worn next the skin by men wearing the time

met must not he of dyed material.
Another thing may be said in favor of
