the buildings thereon situated, for the ex-

In an advertisement like the foregoing

perts would probably know at once that
the most costly half mile of real estate
in the world, the strip of Broadway be-
tween Battery Place and Vesey street on
the westerly side and between Beaver
street and Ann street on the easterly side,
was being offered for sale at the valuation
recorded upon the books of the department
of assessment. But real estate men who
know say New Workers could never by any
possibility see the section named offered
for sale at anything like the value assigned

HEAVY CLOTHING AND HEALTH
Hygienic Considerations that Should
Govern Selection of Winter
Garments.

The season Of overcoats is approaching
and probably in no other department sar-
torial is there exhibited so much indif-
ference to hygienic considerations. The
greatest fallacy of all, perhaps, in regard
to the choice of an overcoat Is that the
terms weight" and warmth" are synony-
nous. AS matter of fact they are nearly
always Numerically opposed.
Heavy materials are often good eonduo-
tors of heat and are calculated therefore
to allow the heat of the body TO escape
while the light materials are bad con-
ductors and so preserve the heat and en-
ergies of the body. Moreover, the heavy
overeoat is tax on the resources of the
organism and destroys the economy which
a good Insulating cloth is intended to re-
cure. Further. heavy material encourages
an uncleanly and unhealthy state of the
body chiefly by imprisoning the exhala-
tion OF the skin.
That cloth is best, therefore which
gives the minimum OF weight and the
maximum of warmth. while being porous
enough to admit OF ventilation.
1t is not generally realized that in pro-
tecting the body from the dissipation of
it's own heat. E., from cold-clothing
really serves as an economizer of fuel
that is, food. Could we lccustom our
selves to wearing no clothing at all under
cold climate conditions we ahould have
to consume much more food than We do
in order to compensate for the rapid
loss of heat which would happen II the
body were not wrapped in non-conduct-
ing materials. This point needs to be
borne in mind by those who advocate
the banishment OF the overcoat
1t is, of course, possible to dispense
with an Overcoat. provided that the clothes
worn are particularly warm. The over
coat, however, offers the decided advan-
tage that It can be superimposed over
a comparatively light suit of clothes and
thus while preventing the escape Of heat
provides also an air space between the orr
dinary clothes and itself-an air space
which is open to ventilation.
There seems to be little doubt that a
well-chosen oVercoat surrounding a warm
but light suit OF clothes is for the reasons
just given much more comfortable than
heavy suit OF ordinary clothes
There Is another important point about
the qualities Of an oyercoat, and that is
In regard to the color OF the material.
The choice OF a sombre hue-black, dark
gray, dark brown, dark blue-is to-
tally opposed TO scientific indications. The
