AERTEX THE ORIGINAL CELLULAR. HEALTHIEST & MObT COMFORTABLE UNDERCLOTHIiNt} FOE SUMMER & WINTER. NOW SHOWING IN .MERCERY WINDOW, THE true Principles on which the manufacture of clothing should be bused are soon grasped when the functions of the 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 temperature. The body's temperature in health is about 93° m all chniat.'s., 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 normal temperature, it is the function of the skin to close its pores when the heat must 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 ad freely and matin-ally, or there is danger to health. 2. To prevent interference with the action of the skin, clothing m-.-.-t be porous, otherwise poisonous mutters that should be thrown oil' readily by the skin are retained in the body, which, becoming unhealthy, is most liable to insidious diseases. ;5. Clothing must be porous also in order that perspiration may escape as vjipour, 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 tlw skin will be interfered with by outer conditions of cold and heat. Naturally, the first question is: What is the best non-condu'.tor of heat for clothing ? The answer 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, therefore that the best clothing is that 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 wear and does not irritate the most sensitive skin. It is very durable.
