rni-lE true Principles on which the X manufacture of clothing snould be based are soon grasped when the functions of the skin and their immense, importance are clearly understood, it is by the action cf the skin that the body is enabled to maintain its normal torn- \ perature. The body's temperature in health is about 9S U mall climate, both . at rest and during exercise. Ihe warmth is made by the chemical changes in tne . body kept up by the foods and liquids we take (i.e. the fuel). To maintain the normal temperature, it is the tunction of the skin to cbse its poies when the heat | must be kept in, and to open them tor evaporation, or the cooling process, wlr M the body is becoming too warm. _ Hr the first and most important poin'. <s f or consideration are —

1. The clothing must no /C interfere ' with the action of t) . t > s ki.n; the skin must act freely and naturally, or there is clangor < j0 health. 2. To prevent interference with the action of the fxin, clothing ui.t-t be porous, othewise poisonous milters that should, be thrown oil' readily by the. skin are retained in the body, v'nich, oecominj unhealthy, is most liable to insidious diseases. 3. Clothing must be porous also in order that inspiration 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 thy skin will be interfered •with by outer conditions of cold and ncat - . . „., , Naturally, the first question is: \V nat is the best non-conductor of heat for clothing ? The answpr 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 quesi tion of fibre, whether wool, cotton, silk, or linen, is of little importance with regard to health compared with the absoI Fute necessity of the presence of air in 1 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.
