To maintain a state of hygienic

The first application of this intuition
of self-preservation was employed by
the cave-men and cliff jewellers. To
protect themselves from the grosser
diseases OF external physical injury,
primitive dwellings were built. Then

h passage of air through it protects
the body with warmth. Thus news
papers, heavy furs and leather duck
ing coats are especially warm.
Frocks hat have lots of air retained
in the mesh do not conduct heat from
the body. Wool is such a material
because of the stiffness and elasticity
of the fibers. Cotton goods have much
smaller air cells. Linens have air
spaces even larger.
Gaping threads and air spaces in
some cloths may prove the undoing of
careless individuals. For should the
warmed air in them become soaked
with snow, perspiration or other mois-
ture, neat is rapidly dissipated, the
skin grows frigid and the internal or
gan become congested. This means
disease of one kind or another. Active
muscular exercise may obviate this
result.
During muscular eXertion, when in
doors and during warm weather, heavy
outer clothing may cause chilling by
evaporation Of perspiration. 1t is then
harmful to wear. When the blood cir
culates shyly, as in the aged and I'M
d-er-nourished, even wooden underwear
may be desirable. This retains the
little bit of neat generated.
For vigorous persons, moderately
heavy Underwear is bad. Since they
depend more upon muscular movement
in the form of walking. exposure to a
bit Of cold does no harm. In windy
weather the moving air alters that
within the open-meshed linens so
quickly that it is advisable to wear
extra outer clothing.
With these few facts, and the knowi-
edge that tight Iacing. closely fitting
