Clothing, No. 2.
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.
