A Bath a Day—
Will Help Maintain Good Health
-Says Dr. Copeland-—
rn Addition to that Sense of Physical Well-Being, Daily
Bathing Stimulates the Nerves, Skin and
Circulation—Make It a Habit.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, .Veto York City.
BATHING as a daily habit brings about a sense of physical well
being. It is a distinct help in maintaining good health.
This fact was known and was acted upon by the enlightened
races of antiquity. The influence of water upon the welfare of the
DR. COPLLAND
body has been observed for thousands of years.
The Roman legions were probably better dis
, ciplined than the raw levies of Gaul, Helvetia,
Austria, Germany, Spain and Britain. But un
questionably they were better housed, better fed
and better bathed.
When occupying enemy territory, the Roman
Army strategically located their camps near
timber, food and water. These camp sites very
frequently became stationary and permanent
camps, and around them grew considerable num
bers of houses. Such sites later became towns.
Many of these towns—Old Chester (from
the word “castra,” meaning •camp”) and other
towns in England ending in “Chester” were
Roman camps. After such a camp became sta
tionary various luxuries were added. Always big
baths (thermae) were installed. Baths of hot
_ ana com water, wun steam rooms, naa an tne
ippurtenances of those of today.
There are many people today who visit the cures or baths of Aix
Jes-Bains, Wiesbaden, Carlsbad and Baden-Baden. How many know
that all of them were Roman baths 2,000 years ajjjo? They were either
a part of or near a Roman camp. . _
. ««»coiogisi* today are finding
those old Homan baths In many
places. One of the finest of Roman
legionary cam;* has recently been
found fit Prugg, Switzerland, the site
of the ancient Roman town of Yin
don. ssa. .At no \ery great depth
was found this camp with a bath in
excellent condition, with its heating
system almost complete.
The earliest Greeks also knew the
great value of the daily bath. High
thinking and good living gave them
eminence as a race.
For indoor worker* the dailv bath
Is especially needful. The skin dis
poses of a great deal of waste mat
ter of the body. It is unable to func
tion properly unless the pores are
kept open by frequent bathing.
Bathing stimulates the nerves of
skin and the general circulation. Its
good effects are felt In every part of
the body.
One who Is constantly engaged in
out-of-door work usually has an ac
tive akin and the waste is carried off
the body in tbs perspiration. This
I-—
vigorous exercise stimulate* the
other organ* of elimination as well
' as the lungs, kidneys and intestines.
This is in contrast to the life of the
average indoor worker, who does not
exercise enough. To him the dally
bathing fills a real want. The cold
shower or tub bath is stimulating
and cleansing. It keeps the skin In
good condition. The thousands of
germs which are always about us
cannot gain a foothold when tha
skin is kept immaculately clean.
The bath temperature Is a matter
of choice for the most part. There
are very many persons who cannot
stand the cold plunge, and it is not
wise for them to persist in trying it.
Water is as essential to life' as air.
It has a most powerful Influence
upon every form of life. Public and
private baths are here for every man,
woman and child, and everyone
should make the most of our mar
velously abundant supply of water.
In the State of New York are the
hatha of Saratoga. The waters there

"It looks that way, Mary.” I ad

lying to tho child, though I hoped
she, for a little timo at least, would
not follow her train of thought to its
! logical conclusion.
"But why—why?” There was in

"That is something we must wait

But I knew that the reason she

rose beige—with touches of deep brown. The
necklace is decidedly a la mode, for it is of

rather tight bodice of a lighter
shade. As she moved the long trail

1 quality of smooth water disturbed by
a tiny stone. The three shade® of
chiffon of the very full, long skirts
i were so artistically arranged that
one scarcely knew where one color
stopped and the other began. The
bolero was bordered with tiny gold
bead embroidery and the touch of
gold was found again on the kid i

Helen's husband was brough* up
In a b:g town and he'd rather have

worrying about her stepping out bv

\uthoritr on Beauty Suggests
a Daily Routine as an Aid

* By Josephine Huddleston.
DURING those early formative

and healthfully. The health angle,
however, we
will leave to!
the physicians
who are the
proper source
for such infor

! sure, though,
that the exer^
cise I’m going
to give you
will be ap
proved by
your doctor
for v o u r
d a u g n t e r’s
use, as it has
been for
yours.
One of the
JQXWIHI HUDCII57GM
most important of ad Fuch exer
cises is the* one to help straighten
•wet! leg*, which has proven heln
1 for grown-ups. although
t know that such problems arc
ti ler to correct or Improve after
the hones have fully developed. It
is equally true that most doctors In
form mothers of the proper massage
movements to help this condition In
v *ung children. Frequently, however,
this bowed condition is not noted
.til the child has reached an age
.ere constant help from the doctor
past. Also many girls now in
eir middle teens came on the scene
fore the now commonly given act*
• itiflc help by doctors had been fully
worked out. And, even though your
: tor Is helping you fight such a
problem. Tm sure he will approve
of this addition to those things you
are already doing.
Youngstrr* May !feed Help.
It is the same exercise that has
been given in this column before.
an*l I've had innumerable favorable
responses from readers who have fol
lowed it. so that we have that added
reliability tn assure you.
Youngsters who are too small to
do the exercise unaided will have to
lie helped, and undoubtedly this will
require pattenre. but I'm sure you
can work it into some sort of fas
cinating game and thus ga.n the
child s co-operation.
The heels should be placed about
an inch apart and the toes must
point outward at an angle. The
upper part of the bodv must be
pulled up to Its full height, and the
arms should hang loosely at the sides.
Then, tensing the muscles of the
| thighs and the legs, the knees should
! be pushed as close together as pos
sible. This position should be he’d
for a moment before relaxing the
m uscles and tensing them again.
For the very young children it will
probably be difficult to explain what
tensing the muscles means, but If
you will hold their heels firmly in
; position, encourage th'rn to stand
i erect and to then push their knees
I as do?** together as they ran, a large
part of the tensing of the muscles
will take care of itself. This should
not be repeated for more than three
or four times at once for the first
few day*, and I think that morning
and night will he sufficient for the
j routine for the first few w-ch*.
Don’t Overdo the Exerrt*
As the child become* a-curiomed
to the exerc.se it can be done mere
frequently during the day. but I
would nit increase the number of
times to each routine to more than
ten Children tire easily and «o be
come bor'd, especially if they do not
quite understand the why* and
wherefores.
Of course, anv little glr! over etx
or seven will be delighted to help
you In every way. especially if she is
conscious about the. bow'd condition
of her legs
Any child over twelve can do the
exercise by itself and should b* en
couraged to do it several times «a :h
day. and for them the number of
times the xnutclea should be tensed,
the pushing together of the knees
and the relaxation which forms one
complete unit of the exercise, can
'ssily be increased from ten to
f twenty-five times without placing
j too much s*reaa on the bones.
When giving this exercise to very
j voting children massag' a Ilh^rsJ
| amount of warm olive oil Into their
little leg* and thigh* so that muscle
soreness will be avoid'd. They won’t
j he at all interested if the exercise
! causes pain after it Is completed. Of
i course, such muscle soreness would
! disappear after a week or so, but it
can be avoided by the gentle massage.
