BATHING-s.. City. A douche bath or any form of a shower bath should not be used when person is tired or exhausted from any cause, as the reaction on, which the shock depends for its beneficial re- suits does not follow effectually when the system is tired. The result of a shower bath in such a case is apt to be internal congestion. which may be disastrous It does not follow, however, that perspir- ing person should not bathe until cooled off As a matter of fact, if person is not exhausted, the fact that the pores are opened is rather advantageous than otherwise, as the reaction is enhanced, and will probably follow more energetic ally bath should never be taken with in two hours after a hearty meal. The first effect of immersion in warm, or in cold water, is to seriously derange the digestive process If that is going on at the time, and by a physiological effect that naturally follows to unbalance or derange the whole nervous system. The result of this is extremely dangerous to the bather.

To discuss any question with a man of the callber of the Rev Owen Jones would be impossible. I wonder that his fellow ministers regard his weak and silly mouthing as worth serious consideration. When he charges that the wickedness of California is due to disregard of the Sabbath, and this dis regard due to the preachers, he insults that common intelligence in which na- ture has seemed to deny him partici patton.

not definitely so state, Mckinley must be rated as a traitor. In word, my opponent would have the Government supported just as it is made under his construction of the constitution, no abuse eradicated, no wrong redressed, no advancement possible save that tending to promote congestion at home.

If we stand on a foundation so frail that we cannot reach beyond the shore line without toppling into the sea, there is in us no element of permanency. We might as well perish in trying to broaden civil ization as in curbing it's tendency to spread it's reign afar and make the dark places radiant. We cannot stand still. If we attempt it. other nations, refusing, will overshadow and at last overwhelm useby the weight and pres sure of their material increase. "The false sun of military glory" does not dazzle.

 Seem very, very hard
 To think that one day we must sleep
 Alone in some graveyard.
