The MASSAGE BATH.
Its Wonderful benefits Within the
Reach of Any Mom0n.

Reach of Any NOmOn.
The strengthening and vitalzing eff
feet Of massage and electricity upon the
system is, in these days of advanced
science. an accepted principle. The
massage BATH which combines both
is a possible luxury in the bathroom
Of every household. The hydraulic
massage" as it is rightly called, is an
effect from a direct current of water
applied to particular part of the body,
while the whole surface is immersed in
water Of high temperature.
The rubber tubing and nozzle for
this may be attached to the main tube
of supply with very little expense or
trouble. A length of rubber hose is
fastened as usual to the faucet To
the end of this hose is attached a short
piece OF iron piping about two inches
long and with the same diameter. The
end Of this short cylinder is capped with
a piece of iron perforated by a number
of small holes. In each Of these holes
is inserted a small discharge point in
side Of the tube, which admits a sharp
arrow-like jet of water with great
force.
When the full strength of the current
is turned on the force would be suffi-
cient TO throw the jet into the air %
or 30 feet. When the current is directed
under the water at distance of five
or six inches from the body the fric-
ton creates a perceptible electrical cur
rent. The effect is digging out and
cleansing of the skin pores, knead-
ing of the muscle and tissue to the very
bone equal to combination of the
thermal bath and massage combined.
There is a result of general stimula-
ton and inauguration. Up and down
the spine when the current is so ap-
piled there is a more thorough manipu-
lation than can possible be obtained
with the rub of the hand. The tenn
perature of the main bath must be as
high as can be borne, from 102 degrees
up; the current is about the same tenn
perature.
After the bath a spray of listerine or
alcohol is sent all over the body. This
prevents the possibility of cold The
tonic effect of this bath must be felt
to be appreciated. The skin, as every
body should know, is one of the main
drains to free the system of impuri-
ties. Keep the pores of this free and
unclogged and it means half of health
and activity. Add to this the TIMBER
ing of muscle and Joint, the knead of
tissue and abnormal deposits of flesh,
and the stimulation of the vital organs,
and there is firm compactness of body
with sustaining machinery within
that makes life a power and a joy

Florida Syrup.

The manufacture of syrup from
sugar cane is an art which is little
known, or if known, little practiced
in this State. The usual stuff that
goes by the name of Florida syrup is
a weak, wishy-washy liquor having
the mawl1y taste of highly sweetened
water, and partal1es rather of the ma
ture of a horribly insipid drink than
a syrup. This is simply the result of
the makers of the article not boiling
it down sufficiently to give it the body
which is necessary to make it saleable,
and which if put on the market in
fit condition would find a ready sale
and could compete with the New Or.
leans article. The chief trouble is
that the average Floridian cane grow
er is content with the ''syrup of his
daddies," and does not care to make
any innovations, even though the i'm
provement would benefit him financial
ly. Gradually, however, the old order
is changing, giving place to the new,
and in time the Floridian will wake
up to the fact that it would be we'll to
keep up with the procession, in this
case as in all others, and Florida syr-
up will take the place it can take in
the markets of the world.-Titusville

Experiment Station.

Chapter 1924, Acts of 1898, provides
that there shall be established at
some suitable point in Florida, pos
sessing climatic conditions for grow
ing all kinds of plant life on muck
lands over which the trustees of the
Internal Improvement fund have ex-
elusive control, under the act of Con-
gress, September 20, 1850, an expert
mental station, to be operated by or
under the supervision Of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, under such
rules, regula tions and conditions as
may be prescribed by said trustees.
For the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this act and to create
fund for the establishment and main
tenance of said experimental station,
and for the further drainage and re-
clama ton of the lands set apart for
that purpose, the trustees of the in
ternal improvement fund were au-

as may be fixed by said trustees, and
the proceeds thereof to be expended

The Problem of the Farmers Home
Auburndale, Fla.


We extract the following from the
annual report of United States Secre-
tary of Agriculture:
Among the educational movements
which in recent years have engaged
been received with greater favor than
the attempt to introduce into schools
for girls and women some systematic
teaching of the arts which are prac
ticed in the home. Many of the col
leges of agriculture and mechanic
arts, together with scientific, techni-
cal, and industrial schools, now main
tain a department of domestic science.
Cooking and sewing are quite COM
monty taught in the public schools,
and cooking schools for women have
been organized in numerous places.
While useful instruction in these lines
is impaired, it is generally recognized
that much remains to be done before
the teaching of domestic science can
assume it's most effective form.
Need of Thorough Training.-In
this, as in other branches of instruc-
ton which have a vital relation to the
arts and industries, the student
should learn not only the best meth
DDS of doing the things required by
the daily needs of home life, but also
the reasons why certain things are to
be done and others avoided. In other
words, this teaching needs scientific
basis if it is to be thoroughly useful.
In this respect domestic science is IN
the same category with medicine, en-
gineering, and agriculture. 1t is not
so very long ago that medicine and
engineering were very largely empir-
cal arts. and the schools of medicine
and engineering were principally en-
gagged in teaching men the things
they were to do when they became
doctors or engineers. Today no doc
tor or engineer is considered fitted to
pursue his profession until he has
drunk deep at the fountains OF sci
ence and knows well. the principles

Condition of Orange Crop.

the interest of his fruit buying for the
firm of j. HI. Schneider & Co., of New
York, of which he is an important
member, is probably one of the best
posted men in the country as to the
actual condition of the Florida orange
market. Being a warm friend oil
Florida and a conservative business
man who stands well throughout the
state, Colonel Swoope was asked by
the Times for reliable data as to this

that and other questions, the gentle.
man said in substance that three re-
ports put the crop at from 100000 to
100000 boxes, but he does not believe
that the entire crop of the State will
exceed 100000.
Mr. Schneider made tour of the
state in an effort to get at the real
facts, and found that the crop prom

Asked as to what per cent of the
crop has gone out, Colonel Swoope es-
timated that the State has shipped
about 33 13 per cent of all her ship,
ments and that the entire crop would
be shipped by January 18th. His own
firms will be virtually sent out by
December 31st.
Asked if the commission men don't
make a lot of money on oranges, the
colonel said, ''The broker may make
something and he may lose good
deal. I wish some intelligent business
man, a representative man, could
come UP to New York and see for
himself the fluctuations in the mar
ket. 1t all depends upon the condi-
ton in which the stuff gets there
"You mean vegetables?"
II mean anything" emphatically.
The colonel went on to say that he
had been for years trying to impress
upon the packers of all kinds of ship
ments that the price depends not only
on the quality of the stuff shipped
but the condition in which it arrives
and the way it is packed. That it is
astonishing to see the difference wher
