weather is a mattress. Put the feather
bed aside until cold weather. Keep the
floors clean by "elbow grease" as much
as possible. These sanitary rules, if fol-
lowed, would be highly beneficial to the
health of families

in warm water wipe them dry and apply

Summer boarders come and go as the
saying Is. They enjoy bathing in the
Saline waters of the district. We notice

naturally poured out TO the surface OF
the skin in order to keep it smooth,
glossy, and soft. We think that to battle
as often as it may be necessary to keep
the skin clean fulfills the requirements
of hygienic bathing.
The divine injunction that imam shall
live by the sweat Of his brow" is obeyed
hereabout. Aye, physical activity is the
rule-the opposite the exception.
