A Good Rub and an Air Bath a Sub stitute For the Tub. The conditions and convention* of our civilization demand frequent botb lUi;. It Is |K>|tul:ii ly supposed that this frequent bathing Is essential to liealtu ‘•'ll!Is Is quite untrue.’' says the Med leal Journal. "We ha\e seen tii e and rigorous men among the habitants of Cauada who had never taken i full hath in their lives. Were the truth kuown, tuauy thousands of our fellow rltlzeus probably know not hint; of the alleged benefit* of the tub. though maintaining excellent average health. “Such people do uot present the fresh and pleasing apm-annice of the frequent bather, however long lived they may be. Is not. however, much of the benefit attributed to the water in reality due to the complete exposure of the skin to the air? “The respiratory fuuctlon of the skin is of high importance, and. al though water may be dispensed with, closlug the pores to air would result In speedy asphyxiation. The historic lusltmcc of the boy who impersonated John the Baptist In a mediaeval pro cession and whose body was covered with gold leaf with rapidly fatal re sults is proof. “The Ice cold bath Is a superstition: It is n pastime for the abnormally vigorous, uot desirable for the average civilized man. A bath not too cold is really an agreeable stimulant as well as being a luxury.

A certain publisher in Chicago, whoso chief recreation is baseball, employs now and then in private cou Tersation a quaint variety of Amur* ative expression calclat»ni to dis play his familiarity with the nation •1 game. A paper had been submitted by a friend. Its style was supposed to he very lofty and impressive in real ity, however. It was exceedingly rhetorical and diffuse, especially the Introduction, which was spun out to a ridiculous length. Moreover, the conclusions reached by the author were hr weak and impotent as the introduction. “Prank,’' asked the publisher, not unkindly, when the writer cm.ic for his manuscript, ‘ don’t you thl. k you took a rather loug run for so short t slide?” /low TO WORK OUT WRINKLES A« the successful ‘ beauty doctoi worked she talked, and this i8 whal she said: "Mnswiw of the face eux only bo done successfully If on© hai well-shaped, cool finger tips, and kuowa how to • treut the wrinkles Wrinkles begin underneath the skin They are caused, It 1h bellved, by < contraction of muscles, and when title becomes a habit the wrinkle is formed The idea Is therefore t© cure the mu* cle In order to wipe out the wrinkle ‘‘1 have a sot of movements which practice upon the tired-out ni. 1 muct i drawn muscles of the forehead.
