The Senator points out that the

of the cotton farmer has been ag-
gravated by low yield and high cost

Southern cotton farmer does not

Health
Hints
BY the
Father of
Physical
Culture

1t is inadvisable to underclothe
the body, in very cold weather,
particularly if not used to it. For
the aged, especially when the nat
ural heat is low, this is inadvisable.
Keeping the surface of the body
fairly warm enables it to employ
its vital activities for purposes
other than that of replacing the
heat which is radiated from. the
skin when it is not properly pro-
tected, or the surrounding atmos-
phere is unduly low.
If the body has been accustorl-
ed TO cold air, cold water. etc,
during the early years, the old per-
son can Withstand low tempera-
lures well; but if the body has
never been subjected to this tough
ening process, the old person must
be careful about leaving off heavy
clothing. After his skin has been
toughened by sun and air-baths,
and by various health and vitality
building methods he may be able
to do so; but to leave it off with
out such preparation would be to
inhibit at once the normal activity
of the skin, with the result that it
would cease to function properly.
All changes OF clothing should
be made very carefully and very
gradually, therefore thinner gar
ments being adopted only after
thinner clothing is craved because
of the activity of the skin and the
general improvement in the health.
AT the same time, impervious
garments are as unwholesome for
the old man or woman as they
are for the young of either sex
The skin cannot function properly
if the pores are clogged, the skin
inactive and anaemic, and the tis-
sues flabby. Nerves and blood
vessels need air, and greater ven
tilation for the surface of the skin
than our present clothing habits
provide is essential. Wooden
clothing readily absorbes the moi3-
ture from the body, but also re-
tains it; and the result of this is
a constant layer of damp clothing
next to the skin. This is imper~
vious to air.. and, if the weather
turns suddenly chilly it tends TO
cool off the body unduly and
cause discomfort.
Silk and linen make the best
undergarments and arc usually 20
be recommended. They are warm,
and at the same time permit the
access of certain amount of air
to the surface of the body. This
promotes the activity of the skin
and it must be remembered that
so long as the skin is fairly active,
il will not feel cold, or become
chilled.
