No Justice In 1t.

No AL
This latest scheme effers no relief to
the democrats of this district, who are
thus crowded into district composed en-
tirely of republican counties, and the
Chicago papers to the contrary notwith-
standing, should not be passed. The poll
icy of the Chicago journals regardless Of
politics seems to be to favor any PROPOSE
ton that will give to Cook county seven
districts, no matter how it cripples or af
fects the other counties of the state,
handicapping the democrats most outrs-
geously as it does in the appor tionment
planned for this district, giving the re-
publicsns an overwhelming advantage in
some instances. and on the other hand
more Of a democratic margin in some
districte than is absolutely necessary.
The district which includes Rock Isl.
and county was originally composed OF
the counties of Rock Island. Burasu,

At the battle Of Chlckamauga the Fed
eral General Wood, commanding division,
was left for time by some blunder with
only brigade at hand. He could see the
Confederate battle lines advancing to flank
the Federal army. Between him and them,
crossing the center Of valley, was a stone
and log fence. Wood suddenly realized
that II he could secure and hold the fence
he could make his inferior force a match
for the enemy preparing to move The
Confederate commander saw the value OF
the position at the same moment, and 1t
was question Of which side should get
there first. On the Federal side It rested
with the One Hundred and Twenty-ffth

The Cooling or the Stimulating Bath.
A bath is cooling or stimulating accord
ing to the friction applied. An authority
on this subject gives the following pre-
scription for cool or summer bath: A dip
into cool water; white soap if the skins
needs cleansing; mop dry first with a
sponge and then with soft towel. This
sort of bath has a wholesome effect on chill
dren and is particularly good for young
mothers and nurses, who need to econo-
mize their strength. The bath taken with
the friction OF flesh brushes and coarse
towels is a stimulant and should be fol-
lowed by rest or some light nourishment
to counterfeit the exhaustive results.
There are 100000 pores in the body.
These windows of the respiratory system
are wide open after a stimulating bath, and
IL 1t is convenient to go from the bath to
the bed the very best results will be OBJ
tanned. A catnap of five or ten minutes
will prevent an attack of cold and give the
body the sensation OF accumulated force
The sanitary value OF the sponge bath can
hardly be exaggerated. The vital statistics
of the city prove that clean people escape
