daily bath in cold or tepid water is an
INDISPENSABLE aid in keeping the skin of the

One Of The causes of the War of 1872
was the imprcssment of Americans to

was so extensive that when an English

am told that the reaction against foot
binding is general. and that Il large per-
ccntagc of the girls whose feet would
have been bound during the last two
years are growing up naturally and able
TO romp and play like other little girls.
One Of the great evils of unbinding the
feet Is that after the dcformity of the
