. QUESTION
OF HEALTH

By last steamer our
stock of DR.. Jaeger's I'm
derwear for men has been
replenished.
We are now prepared to
fit any one be he a dude
or heavyweight.
You've been suffering
long enough from that
horrid cold; you've spent
a small fortune for
patent medicines and
doctors advice for that
chronic rheumatism. Let
us prescribe for you,
we know what ails
you. You're wearing un-
derwear of dead vegetable
fiber, no wonder you're
sick.
Let US advise you to
make a change. You
should wear under gar
ments of pure animal wool.
Nature so intended it, but
you've been running con-
trary to nature until at
last, she has broken down.
Do you wonder at it? Let
US tell you something:
Animal wool is the mate
rial devised by nature for
animal covering and pos
sesses, as the simplest
experiments will prove the
valuable quality of not
attracting or retaining the
noxious mal-odorous mat
tiers, which the animal
body exhales. Moreover
being a slow conductor of
heat animal wool does not
chill even when damp.
Some friend will perhaps
tell you that wooden under
clothing is too hot for this
climate. Don't be misled.
That all-wOol clothing
protects the body from
chill is Ineligible to every
one, but it is a common
error to suppose that such
clothing is hot in summer
Heat is felt to be oppressive
when the natural action
of the pores is hampered
and the exhalation cannot
escape.
If the covering is imper
vious there is a strong
desire to throw everything
off from the stifed skin
but the wearer of porou:
wooden covering through
which the skin can breathe
is no more oppressed by i
than is a cricketer by hi
flannels, which every
athlete knows to be the
coolest, safest, most com
Portable wear for violen'
exercise in hot weather.
Ifyou value your health
don't delay, but encast
your body in garments o
pure animal wool as made
by DR.. Jaeger, and TO.

We can do a great deal to cultivate
the car, but we can do nothing to ex-
tend the range Of sounds which the tym-
panum can receive. The ear may have
great keenness Of perception, may hear
sounds extremely small, distant and
faint, and yet be always deaf to any
noise, however loud, II it is lower or
higher in pitch than the tympanum is
made for, Various experiments show
that about the lowest, or what in mu-
sieal instrument would be called the
deepest bass sound, consists Of l2t undu-
iations in the second, and the highest Of
rather more than 5000. Human ears
have not all the same compass. A party
OF young people, all with excellent hear
ing, may go into the meadows, and some
will hear the shrill note Of the common
grasshopper, and some will not hear it
even family, but simply hear nothing at
all.
DR.. Wollaston believed that thurman
hearing never extends more than note
or two above the cry OF the common
Gryllus campestris." He gives scale
OF sound which he found to be inaudible
to some ears. He found that some people
could not hear the cry of the bat, nor the
chirping Of sparrows, which is four oc-
taves above + in the middle Of the piano
