AERTEX ! EHE ORIGINAL CELLULAR. HEALTHIEST & MO&T COMFORTABLE UNDLROIOTHTNG FOR SUMMER & WINTER. NOW SHOWINC4 IN MERCERY WINDOW, rnHE true Principles on which the X manufacture of clothing should be based are &uon grasped when the functions of tho skin and their immense importance are clearly understood. It is by the action of the skin that the body | is enabled to maintain its normal torn- | porature. The body's temperature in health is about 9S° in all cliMiatjs. both at rest and during exercise. The warmth is made by the chemical changes in the body kept up by the foods and liquids we take (i.e. the fuel). To maintain the I normal temperature, it is the function of the skin to cbse its poies when the heat inust be kept in, and to open them for evaporation, or the cooling process, when the body is becoming too warm. Hence, the first and most important points for ' consideration are—1. The clothing must not interfere with the action of the skin ; the skin must act freely and naturally, or there is clanger to health. 2. To prevent interference v : th the action of the skin, clothing i.iust be porous, otherwise poisonous matters that should be thrown oil' readily by the skin are retained in the body, which, becoming unhealthy, is most liable to insidious diseases. 3. Clothing must be porous also in order that perspiration may escape as vapour, and that it may dry more quickly. It is evident that clothing must be a good non-conductor of heat; if otherwise, the action of the 3kin will be interfered with by outer conditions of cold and heat. Naturally, the first question is: What is the heat ion-condurtor of heat for clothing ? ThHatiswfv is: Air is the best nonconductor of heat. It is nearly 100 times a better non-conductor of heat than any fibre. It is evident, ti erefore that the best clothing is thftt which contains a due amount of AIR in its meshes. The question of fibre, whether wool, cotton, silk, or linen, is of little importance with regard to health compared with the absolute necessity of the presence of air in the interstices of clothing. The clothing to be healthy must enmesh air, and if this principle be carefully carried out, the causes of colds and illness will be very greatly reduced. It is easily washed and does not shrink. It is light and comfortable to weitr and does not irritate the must sensitive skin. It is very durable. j. L. MURRAY.
