Probably tha best -all-round material

is avoided. -1

wear in the winter. It, should be light
and loose.' It Is a great protection to
. the vital organs of tha trunk,- Tou all
know that In the tropics our soldiers ara

-ages. A great- advantage of wool oon-
alsts In the alr which It holde in its
meshea This is ths principle on which
the mesh underweara ara made. Any
material, no matter what it la, woven
so aa to be loose-meshed will retain
In Its Interstices a layer of air. which
Is a great protector. 1

warmth.
When material" ia poroua,' It allows'
