Manager Gaffney has a scheme on
hand through which he will utilize
one of the waste places of the earth.
The cellar under the store is full of
water which. unused as it now is,
seems to him a wicked waste of a good
article. He will, therefore, convert
the cellar full of water into a bath
room. 1t is a happy thought and
worthy of a great refOrmer. The back
of some neckS which their owners
seem never to have seen indicate the
need of such an establishment, and
the colossal proportions of the volume
of OdOr eXhaled from the pedal ex-
tremitieS of others, emphasize it,
The price per SOuSe has not been de-
cided upon, but the method of pro-
cedure will be about like this. The
trap door in the floor will be raised
and the subject dropped through it.
When such an amount of eXtraneOuS
matter has been removed as would
render the removal of more dangerous
to the subjects health, he will be
hauled out with string, same as you
would haul out sucker, and section
of bark off a pine log will be given
him with which to rub himself down.
Timid ones will be furnished a life
preserver, consisting of a rope secured
about the subjects person, the other
end of which-the rope we mean-will
be anchored to nail driven in the
floor. The subject being thus abSo-
lutely secure can concentrate his whole
attention to the novel and unusual
business in hand. Washing powder,
concentrated I've, currycomb or corn
cob as may be desired and section of
gunny sack will be furnished free to
each one who goes prospecting for his
cuticle in this latest development of
the bathroom.
