BATHING CAN BE OVERCOME.
Thousands of Delicate People Said to Die
Annually from Too Many Baths.

Fhuuhhy IOo
Cleanliness is rather modern fad,
when you come to think over it, for il
is only within the last thirty years that
bathrooms and tubs have become com.
mon. Very few of the better class
houses built previous to 1860 had these
conveniences, but they have been very
generally added since.
You wonder how people get along a,
all without them.
They didn't battle. Instead of a daily
bath they took an occasional wash.
No, they were not dirtier then than
now. The fact is that people battle
and scrub entirely too much At least
some people do Thousands of deli.
cate people are washed into the grave
annually. So are legons of babies.
Nature has provided certain health
full unguents for the skin, but your very
clean individual regards these as dirt,
and religiously scrubs them off once or
twice day, which is mistake that
| often costs him great deal in the way
of neuralgia, rheumatism or other
| phases of ill-health.
1t is proper enough to remove dust
and dirt from the body, but this can be
done as well with a spon &c or cloth as
by soaking in bath-tub. A hot bath
once week in summer, and less fire.
| quently in winter, will not hurt. 1t is
stimulating to the skin and soothing to
nerve terminals that have become irri-
tated or excited as expressed by itching
or burning sensations.
The bath-tub is generally rated as a
luxury, and so it is, but you know that
luxuries are not often conducive to
health of either body or mind.
You say you can not get along with.

In Detroit over ninety-seven per cent
of the primary and grammar school
teachers are women, and they const'
tutc -fourths of the teaching force
of the high school. Ffty-five new teach
ers or ten per cent of the whole num-
Der employed, were appointed to posi-
tons for the year ending in June, 1891.
BY far the larger number of these were
graduates of the high school and the
Detroit training school, which instructs
only pupils for whom the Detroit
schools will furnish occupation.
Throughout the state of Michigan
teachers who are not graduates OF nor

are required to submit to periodical ex-
