The on RAD.

A sea salt bath. followed by an "oil
rub" Is an excellent daily habit for
delicate women who nceed vitalizing.
Sea salt may be bought in three or five
pound boxes at the druggists, and a half
cupful dissolved in boiling water and
added to a basin of luke-warm water Is
enough for a sponge bath. The best
way to take 1t IL to stand in the bath
tub. and. after sponging ones self from
head to foot, pour the remaining water
over the chest and shoulders. To be
entirely satisfactory the oil must be
applied by another person. Cocoanut oil
is cheapest and best for the purpose, and
it should be rubbed into the skin till no
trace remains on the surface. 1t Is most
beneficial to have the bath and the oil
rub just before going to bed, and in any
case the patient should rest in a re-
clining position for at least half an hour
after receiving the treatment.

The test OF physical endurance has be

test Of the country's patience. There is
no excuse for this dragging down of

When Populist Senator Allen COM

A PUBLIC WRONG.

A speedway In New York has always
been urged on the ground tina II will ar
ford the people an opportunity to watch
and enjoy the. speeding of the horses as
they are urged along a good and unob-
.tructed road.
When a raid was made on Central
Park for the horse-owners, II was cy-
cusad on the ground that the proposed
speedway was by no means designed for
the,g qualification Of the drivers. IL was
Intended for the amusement and reore-
alton OF the many thousands OF spec
tators.
When the magnificent may,y million
scheme of a speedway In the new dis
trict was being pushed forward in the
interest of property-owners who had
secured options or made purchases, the
plea was not hat the horsemen would
be accommodated. but that the people
would be gratihed.
When the Gilroy plan stepped In and
with it's powerful pull, upset all other
enterprises and became a success. again
the cry was raised for the dear people.
1t was all to please them and to afford
the millions an opportunity to mock to
the driving ground on Sundays and hol.
days. and watch the speeding of the
Myers.
But now that tho Gilroy speedway is
secured n the horsemen are to en-
