DAILY COLD SPONGE BATH.
Summer IL the Best Time to Begin the
Habit of Sclf-Hygienic
Treatment.

Although "doctors differ" about
many things, they all agree as to the
advisability of the daily bath, and the
majority say that it is best taken
cold, unless the bather's vitality is
much below the average. A cold
sponge bath is an excellent tonic as
we'll as an admirable pr9phylatic.
The summer is the best time to ac-
quire the habit.
Use bathing glove or washrag. and
soap yourself rapidly and thoroughly
from head to foot, this ought not to
take more than two or three minutes,
for the quick rubbing is especially de-
sirable, both as exercise and for the
skin. Then wash the soap off, rubbing
as hard and as fast as you can, and
then dry in the same fashion with a
Turkish towel, or, still better, one of
crash. The bath should occupy about
ten minutes and leave you with Al
healthy glow when it is over.
There are many people whose con-
stitutions will not endure a cold
plunge bath; very few who would not
reap benefit from daily sponge with
cold water, and vigorous rubbing with
a rough towel afterwards, the year
round. IT cold water does not leave
you glowing, begin with lukewarm
water, using less and less warm water
every day until you can dispense with
it entirely.-Chicago Times-Herald.
