COLD water bathing may prove ben
effcial or injurious. Much depends up
on the method, and still more upon the
person who practices it. A recent wri-
ter in the British Medical Journal LAYS
down the principle that there are those
whom cold bath will injure instead of
invigorate. The readiest test of bene-
fit is the glow of free surface circulation,
or, at least, the absence of any decided
chill after immersion. Those who take
to it should begin in summer, not win
ter, and so become gradually accustom-
ed to its lowest temperature. No one
should linger over it; three or four min
utes are ample. After immersion the
body should be quickly and well dried
and rubbed before dressing. Light gym
nastic or dumb-bell or club exercise
may occupy the next few minutes, the
clothes being partly on if the weather
be cold, and breakfast, or cup of warm
tea or coffee, should shortly follow, to
prevent chilling.

The Badge Of the Thirteenth CORPS.

To THE EDITOR: / notice in the proceedings
of the National Encampment, published in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of July 2, that on
motion Of Comrade j. G. Bonnet, a committee
of all the members of the Thirteenth Corps
present at the Encampment was appointed to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of the 10Th Encamp-
ment devising badge for the members of the
Corps, one never having been provided during
the war, etc. Now, for the benefit of said COM
mittee, and to all whom it may concern,
would state that a badge Was adopted during
the war by some members of the Thirteenth
Corps, but never came in general USE The
badge consists of a ive-pointed star, surrounded
by five smaller five pointed stars, and makes a
very handsome badge. Several of them were
made and worn during the war. Lieut.! w. H.
Woodland, of the 10th Ohio, who resides in
this city, had one made out of silver half
dollar, which he wore during the war. At the
18th annual Reunion Of the 120th Ohio, held
June 2, 1885, the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed at the supper table, when large num-
Der of the 10Th and 12Oth Ohio were present,

WASHINGTON. d. G.. July IA.
Headquarters cannot be said to be fairly es-
tablished as yet. 10 eplade having been selected
for their accomnoa;.tion3nor have any appoint
ments been definitely made for the staff of the
Commander in-Chief. Those mentioned last
week, to wit: John Cameron for Adjutant-
General, and John Taylor for Quartermaster-
General remain, but they have not yet been
announced in orders A number of other Sc
lections have been made for Inspector General,
Judge Advocate General, Seniora and other Aids,
but they will not probably be announced for
some time yet. and in the meanwhile much
speculation is INDUCED in as to how they will
be distributed.
The mail arriving at Headquarters is made
up mostly of letters congratulating the Com
mander-in-C Chief upon his election and express
ing hopes as to the future of the Order. This
is a dull season in Grand Army matters gcner-
ally, and but little beyond occasional picnics
and Reunions is being done anywhere.
The rooms which commend themselves most
strongly to the Commauder-in Chief for his
Headquarters are on T street. which is one of
the principal lateral streets of the city. They
are large and convenient, and situated about
halfway between the Treasury and the Depart
ment of the Interior. The principal objection
to them is that the building is undergoing
very extensive repairs and the rooms will not
be ready for occupancy for some time.

RANK IN THE GAR.
Why Shouldn't Man Wear Title Conferred
Him by ConlradeSf

Him by COmradeSf
To THE EDITOR: / see there has been quite
a number of articles written ON the subject of
rank in the GAR Now, / myself think a
man is Justly entitled to all the honor that he
earns. and if man who was private during
the late war has so raised himself in the esti-
nation of his comrades that they are willing
to acknowledge it, and confer on him the office
of Commandersor any other Office in the Post
and he fills the place till the end of the term,
why should he be deprived of the right to
wear badge that shows to the public that he
is SO respected by his comrades that they have
trusted him with their interests and that they
are not ashamed of it. distinctly remember
that a great many of those who wore shoulder
straps, and especially those that left the serv-
ice before the war closed, were very particular
to have the people know that they held such
or such rank. Now, to whom is the country
most indebted-to the boy of Is years who car
ried musket or drum for three years land
when he came home is elected by the men
that stood by him through those long, dark
years to the Office of Post, Department or Ma
tional Commander), or the political man that
wore shoulder-straps for a few short months
and then had such business interests at home
that he could not stay, but now begrudge the
boy that did stay the honor he gets without
pay. The Post to which now belong would
be badly situated if we were obliged to carry
out Elk Officers" or Grumblers" ideas of
rank. as we have but one ex-shouder-strap in
it. l did not know that the subject had been
