How TO Keep Cool During the BOT
Summer Months-sevsral sugees-
tions for the Personal Comfort snd
Convenience Of the Citizens of Sa-
vannah.
The feeling IL instructive that wooden
clothing is shot" in warm weather; that il
we wear wool in winter to keep warm, we
must wear something different in summer
to keep US cool, or be inconsistent in theory
and practice.
1t is obvious to all how a non-conductor of
heat-a WOODEN garment, for instance-pre-
vents the escape of the heat Of the body to a
colder atmosphere. or the tngress Of heat to
the body from warmer atmosphere, a IA
milisr illustration OF which is found In the
practice OF wrapping ourselves in blankets
to keep US warm, and wrapping ice in a
blanket to keep il cooi-to keep the heat In
In the one case and out in the other. But it
is not easy to understand why we should
clothe warm body in a blanket TO cool it
oil or keep 1t cool, when the surrounding
air is OF near equilibrium with it.
But the explanation lies in:
!. The nature and condition of the body.
2. The wooden fabrics two-fold property
OF non-conductivity to heat and per-
meab1lity to moisture; and
.. The evaporation of the moisture at the
fabii les outer surfaces. This evaporation
disperses the heat, thus lowering the tenn
perature. This is the reason why the soldier
keeps bis woolen-covered canteen wet in hot
weather. And thus it is that wet wooden
garment disposes of the surplus heat
which causes excessive perspiration and
leaves the body cool, while a vet linen gar
ment leaves the body cold, thus suddenly
closing the pores" stopping the exuda-
tions and turRing them back to overtaslE
some other excretory, or to SOW the seeds of
disease in the human system.
IL Is, therefore. necessary and important
that all the clothing next to the skin should
be wooden.
The indisputably pernicious effects upon
health due TO the material and form Of the
ordinary clothing of the present day we're
hardly suspected until DR.. Gustav Jaeger Of
Stuttgart began to publish the results of
his investigation on the subject. The estab-
lishment of the cdr. Jaeger Sanitary
Wooden System" is the result of his efforts
to show that the great benefits to health are
all important in the use of wooden under
clothing. Too much cannot be said of these
celebrated goods the testimonials of thou
sands OF physicians and the recomme nda-
tions of all who have received bsnefits from
their use would fill volumes.
To healthy persons the timely adoption of
DR.. Jaeger's sanitary WOODEN clothing will
prove an excellent defense against bodily
disorders from climatic and other infiu-
ences; while its use will be attended
with most beneficial results to those whose
constitutions are not robust, or to those
whose health is impaired.
"A full line of these excellent goods are
kept in light summer weights by Appel g.
Schaul of this city, who are agents for the
DR.. Jaeger Sanitary Wooden System Com
pauy for Savannah, and will be pleased to
exhibit them to their many friends and pa
irons. This snterprising firm also keeps
abreast of the times and displays the most
excellent selections Of ali kinds Of the very
latest styles and qualities of gentlemen's
clothing and furnishing goods at popular
prices A visit 10 their mammoth new pal
ace is certainly treat.
