Farmers Take Lead. Evidently this army of city people has been holding back formal proffers of exchanging courtesies until such rural spots as their imaginations pic ture have been offered to them by the farmers and residents of pretty villages. And it is probable that before long Minnesota farmers will have tendered just the places these pent-up city resi dents are craving for, Probably because it is their vacation period and they have more time to write and think of visits to the city, the and Secretary of Bath Commission, Gives Interesting Details of Popular Work in That City. Baltimore is one of the American eities that has worked out a practical and entirely satisfactory system of pub lic baths. The desirable end has been attained thru the funds apropriated by the city council partly, but mostly thru the labor and money contributed by public-spirited citizens. Dr. P. M. Hall, health commissioner of Minneapolis, has long been interested in such work, and in order to gain all possible information has corresponded with men in Baltimore -who have con tributed largely to the success of the baths in that city. The result is in formation valuable to him and to every body interested. In letter to Ir Hall, Rev. T. M. Beadenkoff, the pioneer in the bath movement in Baltimore, and the present superintendent and secretary of the bath commission, says:- "Replying.to your favor regarding establishment of public baths in your city, I would say that you might profit by our Baltimore experience. Agitation and publicity seem to bring best results. Briefly, my advice to a city entirely without "baths is, begin on a small scale, if necessary, and with only summer swimming baths, show what can be done, and agitate, agitate, agitate the subject." Mr. Beadenkoff then gives a resume of the public bath history of his city. It is as follows The first attempt was made in 1893, thru the efforts of Rev. T. M. Beaden koff, by maintaining a bathing shore, where some 1,500 or 1,600 persons bathed during the summer. In 1894 several other gentlemen co operated with Mr. Beadenkoff and an appropriation of $500 was made by the city, and at the mayor's suggestion a bath commission was created. Three bathing shores were established and the patronage for the summer was 23,787. In the next four summers bathing places were maintained by an annual appropriation of $500 from the city. The patronage varied from 24,000 to 40,000 bathers a season. In the years 1896 and 1898 the commission reported each year to the city, urging that per manent baths, to be open the year round, should be established. The co-operation of the Maryland Public Health association was secured and much public agitation at once com menced. On Nov. 27, 1898, a public meeting was held, at which Mayor i,^AND^yilLAGE RESIDENT S HOSPITALITYlTCfeTHE the country^: CANTON BATHS, BALTIMORE. Josiah Quincy of Boston and others spoke, illustrating the public baths of other cities. A short time after this the commis sioners learned that Henry Walters was interested in the subject of public baths and they waited upon him. He was greatly interested and asked for further information. This was fur nished and after reading the report he stated that he was willing to erect three baths in Baltimore, at a cost not ex- FILL IN AND MAIL TO TOWN AND t^C" r'' jyame .ie^i.........^, Address Do you reside in village?, re|y^ /$rj If latter, how far out?,,...T.v,....,^..i What modern conveniences has house?., Number guest rooms available? Children in your family:,' days about (date) farmers and residents of villages are offering opportunities for rest and pleasure that eclipse the most ideal vacations scores of city people have taken They are willing to put the fields and quiet and smokeless air of their beautiful world at the disposal of 'the persons who want an outing under these conditions. All that the happy possessors of these unrivaled bounties ask in return for these generous offers is entertainment in the city while they dip into some of the sights that are mysteries to them, but as commonplace to Minneapolitanstoasththe beauties of are farmers who thrive near them every day. To a^vast army of struggling farm ers and city folk who are not rich an unparalleled opportunity is offered. Nearly every farmer ana city, resident has in his home one or more rooms that are unused except when visitors come. Every housewife cooks enough each ceeding $15,000 each, to be known as the "Walters public baths." He de sired that when erected the baths be turned over to the city and the cost of maintenance assumed by it. Lots were secured and plans and specifica tions prepared. The first building was erected and, completed, ja May*ajL9QQ. The ownership of this property 'and its maintenance as. a public bathhquse was' guaranteed by the passage of an' ordinance by the city council. An ad ditional ordinance providing for the appointment of} the "free public bath commission of Baltimore city" was* passed. This commission is a'pi by the mayor and consists iff seveai persons who serve without pay. *f The first bath, known as Walters pub lic bath No. 1, was situated in "an old and crowded part of the city. The bath building occupies a lot 46 by 70 feet and is a simple but elegant struc ture. On the main floor are an office and the two waiting rooms, one for men and one for women beyond these are the bath halls, that for men containing eighteen cabins, equipped with shower or rain bath appliances, where the water can be regulated to any desired tem- 4 MHWiaMi perature. 'Each cabin has also a dress ing room attached the partitions be tween the cabins are Vermont slate, which furnishes a substantial dividing wall, and from a sanitary point of view, non-absorbent and proof against infec tious germs. The.capacity,of the men's department, allowing each bather about twenty minutes, is 700 persons a day. The women's department is similar to that for men, but smaller in size, having five shower baths and two tubs. This is in charge of a woman attend ant. In the basement of the building is a public laundry, furnished with station ary wash tubs, wringers and steam dry ers, where women may bring their fam ily washing, and for'a small fee have the use of all the appliances for wash ing, ironing and drying. A small charge is made for the privileges of the baths and the laundry. The rees .are 3 cents for use of soap and towel, 1 cent for young children with parents, and 2% cents an hour for use of laundry-privi leges. In round numbers 70,000 bathers pat ronized this bath the first year it was opened. Walters bath No. 2 was completed in April, 1902. It is equipped with twenty cabins for men and six for wom en, with laundry and drying rooms in the basement. Walters bath No. 3, for the use of the negro population, was completed in 1905. The four beach baths have been maintained and improved. The total equipment, of Baltimore's public baths at the present time is three all-the year-round baths and four beach baths for summer bathing. These baths ac commodated 312,855 bathers in the year 1904 and of this number the sum mer baths had-71,723. The' baths are open every day in winter from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sundays COUNTROFFERED.

LIGHT AS AN ANESTHETIC Blue Bays Said to Make Toothdrawing Painless. Interesting experiments with blue light as an agent for producing anal gesia, or insensibility to painthe dis covery of Professor Redardhave been carried out by Dr. Harvey Hilliard, an esthetist to- the Royal Dental hospital of London. In an article in the Medical Times and Hospital Gazette, Dr. Hilliard states that he found that blue light had on himself most distinctly calming influence a desire to close the eye and sleep is experienced, and after some minutes sensibility to pain is les sened. For instance, the difference be tween light pressure, made with the tip of the little finger and .a needle, could not easily be detected, and surgi cal needles could be ..pushed into the face, lips, gums and arms, and blood drawn thereby, without actual pain be ing felt, unless, a still deeper, pressure were exerted.

Nearly everybody' knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature,. but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. -i Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present, in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking Or af te* eating onions and other odorous ..vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach, and bowels it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for.the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless- antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant, tasting# lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no, possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician int speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the.- breath, mouth and throat I also believe the"liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although- in some sense- a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better,charcoal in.Stuart?s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of tnc ordinary charcoal tablets." &* HEl CIT ki^wrol!I$#%c* HV'JFii'T* ^^r^^'': H,*S JOURNAL. 1 *at.i .t. ^.,.j^e i .^i#i' 1 son would expect some expense.
