Copy of a Letter which appeared in the "Eastern Daily Press," Norwich, August 20th, 1914. "Silt, — . Ladies are being advised by various authorities that Shirts and other garments for our soldiers should be made of Flannel only, and that no Flannelette should be used. This advice appears to me open to question, for the following reasons : First, the expense. The Flannel generally costs, I believe, from 1/- to 1/6 a yard. ■ - 3i to 4 yards are required for a Shirt and 6 yards for pyjamas; each garment, therefore, costing for material alone from 4/- to 8/-. Next, the difficulty in washing. Fine, good Flannel in the hands of an experienced laundress may be kept soft and porous for some time, and need not shrink to any great extent; but thick Flannel, badly washed, not only shrinks' enormously,' but becomes hard and feltlike in texture, impervious to perspiration, and thoroughly unhygienic. I suggest the use of Horrocte' Fliilette at 6£d. to B£d. a yard as being better for the purpose, as well as cheaper. It wears splendidly, is improved by washing, shrinks far less than Flannel, and is more comfortable to wear. It also cuts to greater advantage, being 36 inches in width. Tours faithfully, EDITH G. WOELLEDGE." 10 Albert Square, Great Yarmouth. Consult The "Careful" Dentist No profession demands the exercise of greater vigilance than Modern Dentistry. Expert knowledge—wide experience — up - to- date methods' and appliances —are essential parts of the dentist's equipment. But of paramount importance is attention to details that ensure the patient's . comfort and safety. Take Extractions, for ex- ~ ample. In my parlours, these are not only painlen, but the . operation never causes mouth troubles. All instruments are thoroughly sterilized. The gums are carefully dressed to - destroy germs and combat septic conditions. Watchfulness distinguishes all my work—Crowns, Fillings, Bridgework and Plates No pain—no risk—no extravagance.
