The body should always be kept at a uniform temperature,

and to do this, the appropriate clothes should be worn. On a hot

day, clothes keep out the heat, whereas on a cold day, they

keep the heat in and the cold out, making us feel warm and

cozy. The clothing should be equally heavy on all parts of the

body. If a child wears a thick dress, but the shoulders and arms

are left almost bare, then some parts of the body become cold

while the rest of the body is warm, and this may result in the

child catching a cold

In cold weather, the same amount of clothing should not be

worn in the house and outdoors. If you wear your overcoat in

the house, you will become overwarm and your underclothing

will then become damp with perspiration, when you go outdoors

into the cold air, this dampness will affect you the same way as

the dampness that comes from the cold air outside.

People sometimes get warm from exercising, and then take

off their coats. If you take off your coat after you are too warm,

your body becomes chilled. Baseball pitchers know this, and if

you watch a good pitcher, you will see that he always puts on

his sweater as soon as he stops pitching, even though he is

very warm. He knows that if he cools off too quickly, he will

become stiff and sore and he won't be able to pitch a good ball

and that proper clothing is important
