derstood, perhaps, first OF all. that
heavy clothing does not necessarily
mean warm clothing. and that the Chi
nese custom of adding or taking on
outer garments in accordance with the
weather is worth considering.
A chilled body is In dangerous
state, but. on the other hand. there are
many people who bring about an
equally dangerous condition of the
body by keeping II too warm.
The nature OF the work you are do
ing should. In most cases. determine
the weight. material and character Of
your chothing.
Persons working In heated once
buildings and factories. or whose occu-
patton keeps them indoors, should not
wear heavy underwear. heavy clothes.
heavy shoes or stockings. Instead.
they should wear lighter clothing and
provide themselves, when necessary
with heavy outer wraps.
Those people whose work keeps
them In the open a large part OF the
time should wear sufficient clothing
to prevent their bodies from becoming
chilled.
Be careful In the selection OF mate
rials for clothing. 1t may be helpful
to know that. In the order of warmth,
materials are arranged as follows:
Wool, fur and down. silk, cotton and
linen.
Clothing should not be changed ac-
cording to the calendar. but according
IN hot hA
be kept at a proper uniform tempers-
ture whatever the season.
Rainy weather presents smother
health problem. The sight Of thinly
clad ankles splashing through sleet

seems to mean only one thing-th0
danger signal Of pneumonia. rheuma-
tism. and many other diseases that
will leave their mark on girl or wom-
an for life.
There are certain "rainy day don'ts"
that are especially essential to health:
!. Don't SIT in damp clothing.
2. Don't let 1t dry on you.
.. Don't forget your overshoes; they
may save your having to change to
dry shoes.
4. Don't wear low slippers and silk
stockings outdoors on a rainy day.
8. Don't expose your chest to the
damp and cold weather.
o. Don't get chilled; If you do.
drink something hot to restore natu-
raj circulation. Hot lemonade In

normal circulation is the founda-
fion Of good health. and anything that
tends to prevent this Is dangerous.
Avoid at all times the use of tight
ciothing-tight hats, tight neck-bands.
heavy petticoe,s or dresses that drag
from the waist and hips, and, above
all, tight corsets.
Tight lacing frequently produces
dyspepsia. malnutrition, vomiting.
shortness of breath. palpitation and
iainfness. and gives rise to round
shoulders and STOPPING carriage.

BY Naval Precedent.

1t is curious anomaly Of the seKtor
service, says the London Daily News,
that an officer who attains, as Lord
Jellicoe and Sir David Beatty have just
attained, the rank of admiral of the
fleet, is required by precedent to retire
from active command. The rule may
have been designed to eliminate old
seadogs who had become too ancient
to bite, but it seems singularly foolish
to permit it's application to men like
Jellicoe and Beatty. By the unprece-
denied rapidity of his promotion, Sir
David has finished his sea career at
the age Of forty-eight-in the prime of
his life. The army is free from this
senseless precedent, for the rank of
field marshal-which is the military
equivalent to the rank Of admiral OF
the fleet-was, of course, held during
the war by both Lord French and Sir
Douglas Haig.

Sunlight Not Good eermIcide.

Sunlight as germicide proves to be
less efficient and reliable-at least in
temperate regions-than has~bee COM

In Algiers, M. de Laroquette has found
that only prolonged or direct expos
ure to sunlight destroys bacteria, and
that its action is chiefly confined to
dry surfaces where the bacteria are
fully desiccated. Bacteria in liquids
are affected only by very intense light,
and this only at slight depth. White
light is more effective than colored,
blue being slightly more powerful than
other colors. Bacteria are chiefly
killed by luminous rays, and ultra-vio-
ret rays have failed to show the bac-
tericidal action so generally credited
them, the ultra-red also being inef1~

the surface, while layers of fat or
