THE NEW UNDERWEAR. SUITABLE POR ALL FEASONH AND ESPECIALLY OOMPORTABLYE. IN HoT WEATHER. For years medical authorities have recognized the fact that wool, silk and cotton have not been satisfactory for use ax 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 is no warmth inany garment. ‘The heat in in the body itself. We wear heavy outer garments merely as a protection against cold and moisture and to prevent too rapid evapora: | tion, ‘The ideal underclothing should instantly absorb and | waste which the body is | eliminate the perspiration and #! constantly throwing off, Otherwise the skin remains moiet and becomes sensitive. In that condition it is eaeily affected by temperature changes. This i# a principal cause of colds and rheamatic affections among those who wear woolen underwe: ‘The general tendency is to pat on too much clothing, which enervates and weakens, The habit of piling on wool Is as dangerous as it is prevalent. While ideal for outer clothing, wool is totally unfit for wear next to the body, It sa poor absorber and at ail times irritating to the ekin, Underwear that is bygientcally correct is suitable for ase the year round, and, comparatively «peaking, will give as mach comfort on a July day a4 during the winter months. ‘The theory that undergarments of different welghts are | required during different eeasons of the year is a fallacy, and emphasizes the need of hygienic underwear, If heavy flannels are uncomfortabie and unfit for eaummer wear, it necessarily follows that they are equally objectionable in a heated room during the winter teason. 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. Deimel, after much study and experimenting, produced a soft, porous, pure linen fabric that #eems destined to eolve the underwear problem. This material fs made into underclothing under his personal super- vision and is known as the ** Dr. Delmel’s Linen-Mesh Under- wear.” It quickly abeorbs and dissipates the perspiration from the body ; keeps the #kin dry, the temperature even, and the eame weight can be worn with perfect comfort the year round, ‘These claims appear broad, but it is a fact that thousands of Intelligent men and women, including 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, cepecially in sammer, that is very remarkable. ‘The change from wool, silk oF cotton to “ Linen-Mesh * can be made at any time, in any climate, and under any con- dition of health, It is always change for the better, Among the most enthusiastic 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 pure, we mean without alkali. Pears’ is pure; no free alkali. we say There are a thou- sand virtues of soap; this one is enough. You can trust a soap that has no biting alkali in it.
