OF THE BODY.

over answ and the waste material be-
ing thrown off, writes correspondent
in the "Practical Farmer" This waste
material is simaly decayed animal
matter. If your system fails to throw
it off freely and promptly then look
out. If it remains in lungs or kidneys,
abeut the heart or liver, in the stomach
or in the skin, or anywhere else, it
furnishes exactly the best condition
a perfect feeding ground for The germs
of the various diseases to multiply in.
Haven't you noticed some ones breath
that smelled for all the world like de-
cayed meat? Well, that was what it
was (unless it came from rotten teeth) },
and that is the condition We are talk
about. Build up the vitality promp-
tly until it throws off this waste ma
terial and puts everything in order
clean your house, so to speak. Waste
material is thrown out of the body in
four ways, viz, through the bowels,
through the kidneys, in the breath
from the lungs and through the pores
of the skin. We all know what trou-
BILE it makes when the bowels are con-
stipated, or the kidneys get out of
order, and waste material is held in
the body too long. But we do not
always remember that the care of the
skin is equally important. Varntsh
the skin over and you will die within
few hours. Why? Because you
have stopped the entire outflow of
waste. Stop it partly and things will
begin to 60 wrong, just as they do
when you only partly use your lungs.
There are millions Of these pores each
one sending out little waste. The
exudations in the time partly close up
the pores, if left on the surface. Then
trouble may begin. Chilling closes
the pores, keep filth in and gives you
cold. A good bath about once a
week is advisable, using water about
blood warm and good soap. Those
who work hard and sweat freely will
do we'll to take a bath daily during
warm weather after the days work is
done. Use blood-warm water, as it
lowers the vitality. But now, bath
taken every morning when you first
get up will be Of great benefit to feeble
people, and sedentary and those along
in years, who have time and wish to
care for their health. 1t will help
about keeping the vitality strong and
almost do away with colds. l write
from long experience, both personal
and that given me by many others.
A bath tub is not necessary. Get a
piece of rubber cloth about six feet
square, a sponge and wash bowl.
Spread the rubber on the floor and put
the bowl half full of water in the Uid-
die. prefer to have both water and
room between 60 and 70 degrees,
although when away from home it is
often colder. Begin with water at
blood heat. Kneel down and wash
face and neck we'll first. Then put
one hand in bowl and wash that arm;
then the other. Next arise and put in
one loot and wash that and the leg;
then the other. Lastly, kneel over the
bowl, one knee each side, and battle
the body quickly, ending by letting
water from the sponge run down over
the back. Have air pure. Breathe
through the nose only. Work fast
enough to keep warm. Never allow
the slightest chill. Throw all will
power into the muscles to prevent, il
necessary. Next stand on flannel OF
wooden, if cold weather, and rub all
over brlskly with good linen towels
until the skin is all in a glow from
head to foot. 1t is not best to stand
on cold floor when barefooted. Fif
teen or twenty minutes may we'll be
spent in active rubbing. l like to
open an east window in mild weather
and have the sun shining in. If prop
erly done, you should feel like getting
into the water again as soon as you
are through. You will soon enjoy it.
and think no more of the cold than
when washing yonr face. l would
rather as soon go without my break.
fast as my morning bath. Soft water
is best. You may be surprised to see
how much dirt settles in the bottom OF
the bowl each morning. The writer
has carried such rubber cloth far
enough to go two or three times around
the world. Year after year he has
gone through the most trying condi'
tions-steam- heated room one night
ice-cold the next; overheated in q
crowded hall, then out in zero weather
ETC., with no cold whatever for years
at time. But much of the good may
be lost if you do not work sharply and
for purpose. BE cheerful and enjoy
the care OF your person.
Little Petic-Will it make much
noise, Mr.. Constant?
Mr.. Constant-What, my boy
Petie-Sister said she thought you
would pop tonight, and l was wonder
ing if it could be heard up stairs.
