ly the heaviest and the purest varieties,
and although he is quite careful in
money matters, if a sales clerk can
convince him. that a certain type of
underwear is warmer than another he
will gladly pay the extra price, Jeb
wears three suits in the winter time,
and although he bulks up like an an
cient warrior wearing a suit of chain
mail, lie feels quite comfortable on the
coldest winter day, During the late
Spring he takes off his smock while
working and one the twenty-fourth of
May, if the weather is real warm, he
removes one suit of underwear, If we
are having a cool holiday he waits un
til the beginning of June. On rare oc
casions such as this year, he takes off
the seco,nd suit during the first of July,
but only when convinced that the sea
son will be hot and dry. Under ordin
ary circumstances he would leave the
second suit on until the wheat was fit
to draw in.
During the first week in September,
and right after that usual two or three
day hot spell, he replaces a suit of un
derwear. Another suit is replaced dur
ing the first chilly spell of October.
Jeb Martin is then ready for the cold
weather which he knows is bound to
come at some time, and he would ra
ther be extra warm on a hot day, than
chilly when a cool day came along.
I fully realize that this may sound
silly to the younger generation, Rear
ed in an atmosphere that keep insist
ing that the less clothes you wear, the
healthier you’ll be, the youngsters
probably will not have any sympathy
for Jeb Martin. Underwear is an im
portant subject however. Red flannels
have made many fortunes. Think of
the writers and cartonists, stuck for
ideas for would-be humorous items
who always manage to work up some
angle on red flannels. They say-there
is a town out in the United, States
which has grown to be almost a city,
because they hold the record for be
ing the only place to manufacture red
flannel underwear. '
This wearing of so many suits of
underwear grows to be a habit. You
start as a boy when your parents
threaten and bluff you into climbing
into a suit of heavy combinations . The
fact that the underwear is too big for
you doesn’t seem to matter. You find
that it is a nuisance, wrinkling up and
down making your stockings slide
down. If you wear short trousers of
the knickers type, you can usually de
pend on it that a large wrinkle will
bulk up just below the knee causing
you a certain amount of embarrass
ment. If your parents have money;
you can usually manage to persuade
them to buy the fleece-lined variety
which is a great deal less itchy. If
the money is scarce, the chances* ate,
you are given a pair of father’s cut
down woollen ones. For the first week
or so, it seems that a thousand little
insects are tickling and itching you as
the woollen strands seek out the’ten
der spots of your hide.
As a boy you wear this heavy und
erwear. Your parents persuade you to
wear some underwear in the summer.
The reason is obscure, but it’s suppos
ed to guard you against catching a
cold. When you get to be a young
man, you have the habit and when you
get to .be middle aged, you are so ac
customed to one suit in the summer
time that it doesn’t keep you warm, so
that you don the second suit In the
case of Jeb Martin by the time he grew
to be an old man, he found he had to
wear three suits in order to keep him
self warm. Now we have a distinct
clash between two schools of thought,
One group says the less clothes you
wear the healthier you’ll be. The oth
er group maintains that you have to
wear heavy underwear in order to pro
tect yourself against colds. It an in
teresting battle, and personally from
long experience, I have my hopes that
the heavy underwear group loses out,
that somebody removes the
’ from heavy woollen under-

BACK TO HURON
Back to Huron I have wandered—.
Back where Youth seemed lik£
dream;
From the best of friends was sundered,
Many a hanilet, road and stream.
Took the way my heart directed,
Like a dancing child with glee—
Huron is a name enchanted,
All the honors bring to thee!
a
Back among the maples, queenly,
Up the hills, all decked like thrones;
Robins sing 'their notes serenely,
Brooklets murmur o’er the stones,
Nowhere is there found a copy—
Fertile fields and stately homes;
Tonic when the lake is choppy,
Charm where’er the Maitland roams.
Back where morning conies too early,
And the golden day’s too short—
Hay-fields cut and raked so curly,
Wagons hauling loads like sport.
Here are men of iron-muscle,
Women proud of grit and tan;
Long as eye can see, they hustle
Keeping Huron in the van._
Back again, O what a favor!
Every road is lined with joy;
Breakfast has the same old flavor—
Kindly faces, grace employ.
All too short the fleeting hours,
Merely time to wave a hand,
Shed a tear upon the flowers,
Where a new grave breaks the sand.
