BATHS AS A WEAKNESS CURE.
Directions fer Making Good Use of
Water and Towels

water and oWelS.
There is nothing for severe weari-
ness like the intelligent use of the
bathtub. Fill it two-thirds full of
water as hot as you can stand. A
good way to determine how hot it
should be is to put the elbow down
into the water to test it. OF course,
the fingers, or even the hand, form no
test at all. Pour tablespoonful of
ammonia into the water. After about
eight minutes soaking in this, spray
or sponge the skin with cold water
quickly and rub dry with a rough
towel
If sore or lame from overexertion,
walking, or riding, or bicycling, follow
the bath with a mild massage of the
muscles with little vaseline. Then
take half-hour nap, and you will be
all right
Many persons believe that the daily
| morning bath in water as cold as the
hydrant affords, if taken regularly, is
of the utmost Importance in maintain
| ing sound and vigorous constitution.
| 1t is a mistake to think that it is I'M
safe to take a cold bath when the
| body is heated. In cases of complete
heat exhaustion the treatment now
favored is an ice packing When you

The fear of "shock" is only a mean

persons are concerned. Of course, a
victim of heart disease will do we'll
to keep out of ice water, and old and
feeble folks must be careful. 1t is
said that no case of inf1ammatory
rheumatism las ever developed where
the patient for series Of years had
taken a cold bath every day.
The right method is to first wet the
head and neck and splash the should

safe for almost everybody to take the

to restore the circulation is too much
of a fad, and takes up too much time.
Even if you dress before the skin is
thoroughly dry no harm will be done.
Whatever moisture is left will quickly
evapOrate. The main thing is to get
into your clothes as soon as you can.
One physician, who believes in the
cold bath says that only one caution
is necessary. F'Never enter cold water

Food Values For Children.

A speaker on food values for chill

The question of employing swallows

The question of employing swallows
instead Of pigeons to carry dispatches
has been seriously considered in
France. The aptitude of the swallow
for the work is by many held to be
even greater than that of the pigeon.
They fly to greater height and are
therefore less exposed to being shot,
and they travel faster, making good
nearly eighty miles an hour, where a
pigeon would only get over fifty. 1t
is also claimed for them that they are
more faithful, intelligent and have not
ON long journeys to stop to feed, as the
pigeon has. 1t is also asserted that the
swallow can be more easily and quick
y trained.
