THE matter of properly clothing the body during the different seasons of the year has much to do with one's physical comfort, and also as a factor either promoting health or favoring various diseases. From the stand point of health over-dressing - in cold weather Is to be avoided lust as much as it should be, in Summer time. There is much sickness In Winter because of keeping the body too warm. A person who is In the cold air most of the day needs to wear more clothing than one who spends most of the time in a house or office where the temperature is about that of Summer. In the latter case it Is only common sense that one should be cautious about wearing too warm clothing for constant wear. On the other hand, he usually she needs to be careful about wearing warmer wraps when out of doors. There is probably one im portant exception to this statement and that is in regard to protecting the feet. In Winter the feet and ankles need to be more warmly dressed than ip warm weather, and this holds good even if one is in a warm place most of the time, for the reason that there are more or less cold draughts near the floor under the best of circumstances. Low shoes and diaphanous stockings do not offer the best protection to the feet when the temperature is low and when the air near the floor Is cold or when there are draughts. Habitual cold feet and cold continually notice able on the feet and ankles and the lower part of the leg keeps the entire body in a state of physical depression. One can stand cold much better If the feet are warm. The most important question that presents itself in regard to the proper clothing of the body in cold weather considers the garments worn next to the skin. The question of undergar ments is one not only of comfort, but or nygiene. And the latter la as im portant as the former. The materials most commonly used in making underwear are cotton, flax (linen), silk and wooL Each of these materials has advantages and dlsad vantages. From a hygienic standpoint the most Important consideration In selecting from these different materials la por ousness, or permeability to air. The more porous the undergarment Is, the better it serves the needs of the body in promoting health. But if a gar ment is too porous it may not keep the body sufficiently warm because of the sacrifice of heat. Hence, what consti tutes the best material for making the undergarments has been an Import ant matter of disoussion by hygienlsta for many years. The garment that In these times you my not want to spend much money for presents, but you do want to send something worth while to your friends. Why not send a book, one of the most attractive and satis factory of presents, yet costing very little? Call and see the New Holiday (Books at Gilt's Tlia J. K. Gill Co., Third and Alder Booksellers, Stationers and Complete Office Outfitters best -warms the body (a poor conductor of heat) and permits a free interchange of air and can easily be kept clean is the ideal garment. No one style of garment meets all these conditions. So far aa warmth is concerned, wool furnishes us the most suitable material for undergarments. Wool is a poor conductor of heat and so, when used in a garment. It keeps the heat from radi ating from the body and keeps the cold from getting to the body. The woolen fiber is short, soft, rough and elastic, and when it is woven into cloth it is loose, soft and light, and the mesh con tains a large number of air spaces. If these conditions could always be pre served, woolen underwear would be the most suitable In Winter. However, this is not the case. Because they are light and warm, undersuits made from wool are best for those who suffer from the cold, and for old people if the skin is inactive. If one seldom perspires wool en flannel makes a suitable garment. Woolen undersuits possess these dis advantages. The w.ool readily takes up moisture from the body and parts with it slowly or, in other words, the mojs ture dries out slowly; woolen garments cannot be washed without shrinking, and the shrinking closes the air space so that the garment ceases to be por ous; third, woolen undersuits are more difficult to keep clean; being expensive might be given as another disadvan tage.

ONE morning Billy Pig saw some ber ries growing by a rock in a pasture. but Just as he began to pick them he saw a hornet, and, looking closer he saw the nest under one of the bushes by a rock. Billy Pig ran as fast as his little short legs would carry him and was soon out of danger. "I'll Just .tell Billy Coat I know where there are some fine berries, and he will run there, he is such a glut ton," he said as he hurried home. Billy Pig was wise enough to get some cake and cookies from his moth er's pantry, for he knew well enough Billy Goat would not go far If there was nothing to eat but berries. "I know where there are some nice big berries, and they grow very thick, too," he told Billy Goat. 1 have some of mother's cookies and cake In this basket, and they will taste nice with the berries." Billy Goat did not need urging, and off they went. Billy Pig was careful not to go too near the side of the rock where he had seen the hornet's nest, but he took good care that Billy Goat sat close to it. Billy Goat ate until he was sleepy, and then said he guessed he would take a nap. He rolled off the rock on the ground, and, as he did he hit the nest. Quick as a flash out came the hornets and instead of attacking Billy Goat they flew right over him for some reason or other and chased Billy Pig. Now, Billy Pig's legs were short and he could not run very fast, so the hor nets overtook him and stung poor Billy Pig. who squealed and squealed. Billy Goat, not knowing about Billy Pigs plan to have the hornets sting him, ran after him, calling to him to lay down and roll over. When the last hornet had gone and Billy Pig got op. from the ground he I' It g-trt list for Christmas la a dlf- flcnlt problem. la helping you we offer the following list of useful and ornamental articles as a suggestive list of presents to help yon with your se lections.

"Oh! you look so funny, Billy Pig, he said, "and you did run so; I never saw anything that made me laugh so much. Then he rolled over on the grass and laughed some more. Poor Billy Pig did not feel much like laughing, and when he remembered that he had planned to be the one who laughed he sighed and remembered hearing his mother say something about the one who laughs last laughs best.
