SALT WATER BATHS
They Give Tose TO the Estire system
and Keep the skin Healthy.
Soft and Clear.

For a hand bath "a bath given to the
body by use Of the hands only, or by
sponge or cloth) place handful of salt
in basin as ordinarily filed for wash
ing. Allow the salt to dissolve, or
hasten the action by stirring il with
the hand. The water should be as cold
as you have vitality to Withstand. Use
no soap. Battle the entire body. DO
not neglect the face and neck in the
free use of the salt water. This bath
has an exhilarating influence. tones

healthful condition that amply repays
for the time and trouble involved. II
used in the winter IL will be an excel
lent preventive of colds, besides being
substitute for face cosmetics. No
chapping, no roughness of the skin and
no clogging of the pores will trouble
the person who Systematically and reg
ularly takes a bath of this sort. Or
binary table salt or rock salt will do,
but will not do so well. The sea-salt
contains medicinal properties not
found in the others. Whether one ex-
ercise or not, the body should receive
a daily hand bath of cold or cool water,
especially in the summer, either upon
rising or before retiring.-l;dward b.

ments of John G. Carlisle were always
accepted.
Henry Clay was a friend of the page
boys. There were many congressman
who would not vote a gratuity for the
pages, and who would try to defeat it.
but Henry Clay always stood by us, and
at the close of each session we usually
secured an appropriation of 5000 each,
in gold, in addition to our regular sal
aries. Mr.. Morrill, was also our friend,
and he never tried to prevent the adop-
ton of our annual bill.
Daniel Webster knew all of the page
boys by name, and he always spoke in
kindly manner to them. In the SEN
ate he had an especial favorite, of
whom he was very fond. His name was
Arthur German. Daniel Webster en-
couraged him to study law and make
a man of himself. AS "a result, primari-
ly, of this interest which Daniel
Webster took in him, young German
entered politics, and for the past IS
years he has been a member of the
senate and leading democratic politi-
clan. | guess the page boy, Arthur
German, has been one of the best and
ableSt men in the senate during the
present generation. They tell me, too,
that Senator German has always been
kind to the page boys, never forget
ting that he was at one time in a
similar humble position.
while Senator Morrill, was in the
house of representatives there was a
big man there from Pennsylvania who
was handsome, able and popular. His
name was Galusha A. Grow, and he
came from Pennsylvania. He was made
speaker of the house and filled the
position with great ability. Twenty
five years passed away, and | read in

tivex in 1892. l could hardly believe

him carefully, and at last I said: Are

A Cure for Tan.

On the principle that prevention is
better than cure, tan may best be avoided
by wearing veil. The young woman
who adheres religiously to veil
through storm and sunshine will not
find the natural whiteness of her skin
seriously impaired. There are times,
however, when one finds it diyerting to
know how fresh air feels, and on such
occasions one accumulates the deadly
trio of tan, sunburn and freckles that
cause many an anxious hour. The
lemon remedies often given in this col
umn are steady and effectual de-
stroyers of tan and sunburn, while a
liberal application of buttermilk and
salt will hasten the departure of
freckles quicker than anything else. If
possible battle the face in rain water
once a day and rub with rough towel,
as this gives bright, healthy glow to
the complexion.
