A daily bath is as much a matter Of

In speaking Of the matter the Commits
siOuer said TO a Washington representa-
tive Of the Milwaukee Sentinel The
step IS in accordance with our policy OF
civilization. We object TO the Use OF the
blanket, the smearing Of the sace with
paint, and as matter Of cleanliness No
believe the Indian should be shora OF his
long hair. just as we believe that the use
Of soap and the bathtub should be en-
couraged among the red men There is
no desire TO deal harshly with the Indians
in enforcing these rules, but we believe
that they should be enforced, and we shall
do 50 wherever possible.
Painting the face among the Indians
is particularly pernicioUs in its effects
The Indian youth suffer seriously from
trouble with the eyes, and among the
elders this affection is widespread and
serious. This is directly traceable 70 the
use OF paint. it having been demonstrated
that when the Indians perspire the paint
runs into their eyes. and this is very
often followed BY partial CT total blind
ness.
we cannot instill the spirit OF indus
try in the Indian as long Is he clings TO
the blanket. The blanket was made for
the idler and the hunter. It is we'll

anxious thought Of what he eats. Cold
water particularly lowers the tempera-
ture Of the stomach. retards the process
Of digestion and makes easy the path Of
dyspepsia, while water between meals is
only beneficial and desirable.
Many women whose waist line is rapid

they begin TO diet for the good of their

The notion is half correct. Water taken
with food is fattening. but between meals
doses do not make the fabby flesh which

helps in the reduction by causing a bet

A FAMOUS STATUE-The Curious
Problem of the Missing Arms OF
the Venus de Milo.
Everybody knows the Venus De Milo.
for everybody has seen copies OF the
beautiful stone goddess who stands in
the Louvre; but no one has ever seen
her arms or knows how they should be
placed The statue was armless when it
was first found in Melos. an no two
sculpt0rs or a-cbeologists have agreed
as 20 its proper restoration A recent
discussion in the French and English
press has revealed the fact that a sort Of
tradition has grown up around the famous
relic. and that though it Uas discovered
less than a century ago. there is the
widest discrepancy in the stories Of its
finding.
The existence Of the statue" SAYS the
London Graphic" was first made known
o the French Consul at Nelos- When IL

louvre the name Of the gentleman IN

placed on the pedestal, but nothing was

never tell it TO anyone and he died
without revealing the secret.
1t is curious that no one has the
slightest idea Of how her arms were
placed Over score OF suggested recon
structions have been made and are ex-
hibited in a side gallery in the Louvre.
One represents her holding an apple. an
other bearing a child in her arms. and
several artists have represented her as
forming part Of groups There is little
