Only two weeks remain to
the close when the selections
will be made as to who the
young ladies will be that will
little wastes body heat, while
too much increases perspira-
tion ending ultimately in loss
of heat. An under garment
loose in structure is warmer
than a thick loosely woven one.
People dress so inconsistently
—heavy furs about the neck
and silk stockings with low
shoes. Such practices do not
always result in colds, but the
physical conditon is lowered.
The body must be kept dry
to be in good health; that is,
too warm underwear of wool
is bad since it causes perspira-
tion and becomes wet even if
it feels dry. A child is com-
fortably clad in winter in un-
derwear of wool because there made clothing,
is little perspiration and little
blood brought to the skin by
of
viduals, but each of the young
ladies is imbued with a spirit
of service and are entering in-
to the work with all their
hearts and souls, not for their
own pleasure or prifit, but be-
cause they realize the good it
will do to Falfurrias, and they
are sacrificing time, comfort,
and pleasures, and will have to
expend considerable personal
funds, if selected, to carry out
the plans as contemplated.

the most important missionsjtthe ladies can d e vote their
tight, w'll impede circulation
to some extent. The present
unrestricted neck in women’s
dress is an advantage over the
boned collars. The moderate-
ly short skirts are more hy-
gienic than the long circular
skirt that swept the floor.
It should be realized by
everyone that danger may
lurk in textile materials. A
large amount of ready made
clothing in made under un-
satisfactory and unsanitary
conditions such as sweat
shope. We should not only be
careful in our purchasing but
urge regulations and scienti-
fic investigations of ready
to the community.
Many of the citizens of Fal-
furrias are realizing the far
reaching effect of this work,
and are loyally rallying to the
support of the young ladies.
The work is showing who-
are the true friends of Falfur-jty.

money to equip themselves for
ithe trip, the people of Falfur-
rias should be willing to assist
and do their part when it
means so much to every one in
the whole Falfurrias communi-
muscular activity. Some
the drawbacks of wool can
now be mentioned. Under-
wear should be boiled when
laundered, but boiling seems to
decompose the wool fiber to
some extent. The wool fiber
with its scales gives opportuni-
ty for impurnities to lodge.
Hence, wool is not appropri-
ate for underwear.
The body must be kept
clean. A hot bath is taken for
cleansing, but a cold bath is
refreshing. Frequent baths
will decrease amount of
changed underwear. The un-
dergarments should not only
be clean, put porous and light
weight in order that air may
reach the skin.
Just a word about the
special qualities of each of the
textile fibers will sho whow
these fibers affect the body.
Cotton can be easily washed
and sterilized. It absorbs
water easily but does not dry
quidkly, and for t.hisi reason
it is not so good Linen keeps
the body clean and dry and it
is easily laundered. It con-
ducts heat away from the body
and so feels comfortable when
in a meash. The fiber is long
and straight offering no chance
for germs to lodge. It is very
expensive; hence, cotton un-
derwear is the best substitute.
Silk is a poor conductor of
heat which makes it valuable
next to the body in cold weath-
er. But silk can not stand
frequent boiling and is very
expensive.
The body should be unre-
stricted. A body impeded in
any of its movements or func-
tions can never be highly effi- j
cient or perfectly well. This,
statement includes a considera-
tion of several definite articles.
First, shoes should be chosen !
with the idea that they are J
adapted to use. They should
be the shape of the foot and 1
wide enough to allow room
for expansion when pressed on
the floor. The shape of the j
normal foot is straight on the

He was trying hard to sell
his horse. The animal looked
sleek, but he was broken wind-
ed. After trotting him around
the owner stopped him and
spoke.
“Hasen’t he got a lovely
coat?”
"Yep, coats all right, but I
don’t like his pants.’
