from time to time. Ten box tents will
be arranged in a circle around an
open air fire, and surrounding them

Bemnrs Of the Cold path.

The cold bath in the morning is not
so popular as it was formerly. There
Is much energy expended in the reac-
tion and just at the time of day when
this energy is at its lowest ebb. Then,
too, cold water has very little cleans
ing effect. Very hot water stimulates
the nerves, which Is the effect that we
are seeking from the cold water,
while it does not demand the energy
of reaction Of the latter. The duration
Of the morning bath should be as short
as possib-e-hardly longer than the
mere application of the water to the
skin followed by a brisk rubbing.
However, many prefer a cool sponge
bath in the morning, and if this is fol-
lowed by warm glow and a feeling
Of well-being, it certainly is beneficial.
Many people are not strong enough 10

cleansing and restful. General bath

Seventh National bank of New York
and appointed Forest Raynor, the ma
tiOnal bank examiner, temporary re-
ceiver. Later the comptroller made the
following statement:
Comptroller Dawes stated that on
Tuesday he received word from the ma
tional bank examiner that Henry Mar
quand & Go. had recently become in
debted in a sum apprOximating 81 600,
900 to the Seventh National bank of
New York, which was secured by col
lateral of a doubtful nature Upon re-
ceipt on Wednesday of further informa-
tion regarding the nature Of the collat-
erals securing that loan he sent tele-
gram to Mr.. E. r. Thomas, president of
the Seventh National bank, as follows:
81 have just received information
from the National Bank examiner that
Henry Marquand & Go. have loans of a
large amount in your bank, approx
mating $1,000, 900. Unless promptly
and satisfactorily assured that this loan
will be taken up and cash therefor put
into the bank by Saturday night, June
20, [ will appoint a receiver for the
bank. Please convene the board of di-
rectors and announce this to them.
'In explanation of the conditions i'm
posed the comptroller states that while
advances had been made by the directors
to the bank, they had been made on the
credit of good securities, owned by the
bank, but that no such advances affected
the banks solvency while the Henry
Marquand paper remained. It was nee
essary, therefore. for him, in the per-
fOrmance OF his duty, to promptly i'm
pose these conditions before further
Withdrawals of deposits were made.
The comptroller stated that the Mar
quand loan is partially secured, and 1T
is hoped that the loss to depositors will
not be large"
The comptroller of the currency has
appointed Forrest Raynor temporary re-
ceiver of the Seventh National bank.
He ordered the bank closed because it
would not comply with conditions he
imposed on Saturday.
Comptroller of the currency says there
is no possibility of the government los
ing anything by the closing of the Sew

the bonds which the bank has on de-
poslt at the treasury department more
than cover the government deposit in
the bank, and. in addition, the courts
held that the government always is a
preferred creditor in the sense that it
has an equal chance on the assets which
remain, irrespective of the fact that it
has the collateral.
