A new religious sect has been founded
in Russia, and one of the cardinal princi-
pies is that the members shall never
wash themselves. Believing that the
body belongs to the Devil, they don't
propose to waste any time or water in
taking care of it. There are, evidently,
some disciples of the new faith in Allan
tic County. They don't wash, and the
bodies of some of them ought to belong
to the Devil if they don't already.

must drink water upon rising and as
often during the day and between

is all right, but the same rule does not
apply to rising unless madame feels
herself thoroughly refreshed by good
sleep. Meat should occupy second

bles may be freely INDUCED in. Sweets
