PROPER CLOTHING FOR WINTER
Light Underwear and Oycrcoats OF
Several Weights, Is Advice.

Very sensible advice says the TCs-
ton Post, is given Oy a physical d-
rector of the Y. VI. -. A. regarding
changes in clothing to meet tbs Ie-
quiIenents Of this winter season.
Shortly stated, 1t is that such changes
should be made in outer garments,
overcoats and such, by persons whose
occupation is chiefly indoors, rather
than In underwear.
The average individual, he says
spends but little time out in the cold,
such a5 when going to and from busi-
ne1s bud social engagements a small
pcrtion OF the total day--a1i tor the
longer time indoors clothing ~ ricet
coEi'uons cut of doors is worn. r-he
result is that the heat producing
functions OF the body are impaired.
Light underwear and overcoats Of
several weights" he says. "are the
proper attire for the man who works
In a warm office. Then when you
go out OF doors put on an overcoat
of suitable weight"
BY such observance one can get the
vivifying influence OF the open cold
of the season, while defying ,he
germs that lurk TO invade unprotected
humanity.

Is Fritz, for 90 years the hair

But the climax of lax administra-

prompt reply.
