THE NEW UNDERWEAR. SUITABLE VOR ALL FEASONS AND ESPECIALLY OOMPORTABLE, IN HOT WEATHER. For years medical authorities have recognized the fact | that wool, #ilk and cotton have not been satisfactory for ure as underwear, Contrary to the popular idea, the principal purpose of underclothing is not to give warmth to the body but to keep Its surface—the ekin—clean, vigorous and healthy. ‘There ix no warmth inany garment. ‘The heat fs in the body iteelf, We wear heavy outer garments merely as a protection against cold and moisture and to prevent too rapid evapora tion, ‘The ideal underelothing should instantly absorb and eliminate the perspiration and #kin waste which the body i« constantly throwing off. Otherwire the skin remains moist and becomes rensitive, In that condition it is easily affected by temperatare changes. ‘This ix a principal cause of cold» and rheamatic affections among those who wear woolen underwear, eneral tendency is to pat on too much clothing, which enervates and weakens. ‘The habit of piling on wool Is ous as it ix prevalent, While ideal for outer clothing, wool fr totally unfit for wear next to the body. It is a poor absorber and at ail Umes irntating to the ekin. Underwear that is hygienically correct is suitable for use the year round, | and, comparatively epeaking, will give as much comfort on a July day ax during the winter months. The theory that undergarments of different weights are required during different reasons of the year Is a fallacy, and emphasizes the need of hygienic underwear, If heavy flannels are uncomfortable and unfit for eummer wear, it necessarily follows that they are equally objectionable in @ heated room during the winter searon, ‘The point to be remembered is that undergarments are worn for cleanliness and comfort—outer | clothing for protection, A few years ago, Dr. Henry L, Detmel, after much study | and experimenting, produced a soft, porous, pure linen fabric | that seems destined to solve the underwear problem. This material Is made into underclothing under his personal euper- virion and is known as the * Dr. Deimel's Linen-Mesh Under- wear.” It quickly absorbs and dissipates the perspiration from the body ; keeps the #kin dry, the temperature even, and the same weight can be worn with perfect comfort the year round. | ‘These claims appear broad, but it fs a fact that thousands of intelligent men and women, tncluding many prominent medical authorities, have tried the garments and, practically without exception, have endorsed them unqualifiedly. ‘There is no doubt but that they give an amount of real bodily com- fort, eepectally in summer, that is very remarkable, ‘The change from wool, silk or cotton to“ Linen-Mesh can be made at any time, in any climate, and under any con- dition of health. It i alwaysachange for the better. Among the most enthuslastic believers in this new system are those who for years have worn heavy flannels. Pears’ What is wanted of soap for the skin is to wash it clean and not hurt it. Pure soap does that. This is why we want pure soap; and when we say pure, we mean without alkali. Pears’ is pure; no free alkali. There are a thou- sand virtues of soap; this one is enough. You can trust a soap that has no biting alkali in it. All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; all sorts of people use it.
