too sweeping. One can think Of several
practices that are Of universal observance
which have obtained since the food.
These practices grow out Of human
necessities, and are, perhaps, the except

the saying Of the LGncst is smart enough
and true enough to be striking It grew
out Of criticism Of the utility Of daily
bothins.
It IS the general opinion that il IS a
good thing to bafhe often This belief,
however, is more 4 matter Of opinion
than Of practice. The large majority Of
men and women, We are satisfied, do net
thoroughly wash themselves from top to
toe once q month. From childhood to
old age some people dread the applica-
ton Of soap and water with a sort Of
feline disrelish which is incomprehensi-

Against the good doctor and his little
Indians We can set up a more ancient
and authentic system Of hygiene. Since
the time when it was commanded to
Moses, Thou shalt bring Aaron and his

been indisputable and the sanitary value
oft admitted
