THE greatest objection to woolen under-garmenta Is the shrinking because of frequent washings, and these garments should be changed at least once a week. The shrinking is due to "fulling" or to a shortening of the fiber. This closes the air spaces, makes the garment impervious to air, and per mits the accumulation of foul odors and waste from the skin. Such gar ments are warm but no sanitary, and so are. unsuitable and undesirable for all who wish to feel as well as possible all the time. If woolen garments were washed in warm water and could be dried in a warm place without wringing, the shrinkage could be delayed for some time. It is the change from warm to cold water and the WKinging that ren ders this material unsuitable for the most hygienic clothing of the body. Cotton is the most commonly used material for undergarments, and If properly used, wool could be almost entirely dispensed with for all clothing excepting the outer garments. Cotton na m. flat an4 twisted Hbr J aadly made into porous fabrics, and it shrinks little as compared to wool. Among other advantages it is- cheaper than wool or linen. Cotton absorbs moisture from the skin readily and gives it off again much more quickly than woolen. Cotton cloth Is more porous than any other weave, and for this reason it makes a most suitable material for under-garraents. It can be more easily wasned tnan wool, and it does not lose its porous ness by so doing. By proper manufac turing methods cotton can be made into garments almost as warm as woolen flannels. Another advantage that ap peals to many is the fact that cotton feels more comfortable. Doctor Lorand asserts that if a good grade of cotton Is used and the garment is made porous and sufficiently heavy cotton is just as warm as the woolen underwear and in addition it possesses many other ad vantages. There is a porous knit cotton under garment that meets all the require ments of a proper hygienic under-suit. In warm weather the Summer length can be worn, and in cold weather simply add another suit with the full length, or two full suits can be worn. There are many advantages In wearing two suits at once. In the first place It fur bishes a clothing that is sufficiently warm for the great majority of people. In the second place it supplies the max imum of pores or air pockets, and third, which Is a great advantage, it permits a layer of air between the two gar ments. This layer of air makes the two garments much warmer. Those who prefer woolen underwear, or feel It to be a necessity, would do well to select a light or medium weight garment and then wear a light, porous cotton or linen suit under this. This combination would be light, comfort able, and the two suits would be much warmer than one heavy woolen suit, because of the layer of air In between. This combination Is good for those who perspire freely. The under garment takes up the moisture quickly and dries quickly. With this arrangement one feels much more comfortable than he does going about in a wet garment, as is often the case with wool. Another point to bear in mind In con nection with the undearwear is the fit. It should not "fit like the paper on the wall." It should be loose. A loose gar ment Is warmer than a tight one. The one-piece garment or union suit is the more rational and scientific. The two piece garment adds an extra' thickness on the part of the body that least re quires it. If this over-lapping were to be on the ankles and the lower part of the leg no objection could be raised to it. Or if it were on the shoulder It would not b6 so out of place, but over lapping from the waist to below the hips interferes with ithe healthy cir culation of blood in other parts of the body. , No one should ever put on damp un derwear. It should be absolutely dry. If the garment is moist -from perspira tion when put off at bed time it should be placed where it will be dry before putting on In the morning. r 2ZLKS ON 3)OMESrCSCE?C Holiday Candles IV.
