Virtue of a Salt Rub.

How many persons know the efficacy
OF the salt rub?
Comparatively few, probably, and yet
it is one of the things that the mother Of
a family should understand. for it is good
alike for the sick and the well, ana is the
most refreshing and invigorating of all
the baths and rubs ever invented Il is
next to dip in the sea itself, and for
some constitutions is even better, and it
can be taken at home, which a sea bath
cannot.
Various sanitarums and private hos
pitals are making constant use of the
salt rub, especially for nervous diseases.
and il is by no means uncommon TO End
a Turkish bath establishment which spe-
cialy advertises it. \ friend of the writ
or. who has for some years been suf-
ferer from a nervous trouble induced by
insomnia, has found great relief in the
salt rub. which she has each night be-
fore retiring. There IS n soothing quail
ty about It which seems to induce quiet
and repose, so that sleep comes more
easily. and ar the same time she has
found that the Whole system has become
toned mp.
II you can get sea salt. il is the
best to use but if that is not 0btainabie.
use the very coarse rock salt. Put a
few pounds into an earthen jar and pour
on it enough water to make a tnin mix
ture. but not enough TO dissolve the salt.
This wet salt should then be taken up
by handfuls and rubbed briskly all over
he surface of the body. This being
cone. there must BE thorough rinsing
of ,;su body with clear wate~ either
warm or cold, as suits the person Taking
the rub; then brisk rubbing with a
coarse towel.
When using it for children, il il n
good thing to drain off the water and
to = basin of it add two tablespoonfulS
Of bay rum. Apply with A soft towel

wipe with soft Turkish towel The

friction which the older person can en-
dure.

newed strength of mind and body. II

Col. ANDY" Burt. who was selected
by the President to be brigadier gem

GERS in the army. Col. Burt believes iii
the officer assoeiating with his men, and

Of officers and men. In the first game a

short He was little slow in getting
off and the coach proceeded to hustle him
roughly, yelling as he did so:
why don't you run, you damned CO.
vote; do you suppose were running this
game by military tactics?"
On one occasion, as Col. Burt was
entering Chicago, he met a corporal on
the train ard without disclosing his iden-
tity asked the corporal bow long be had
been in the service, where he served.
whom he had served under. how he liked
the army. where he came from, whether
his officers treated him all right, if he
got enough to eat and If he had ever
been in Il fight. The corporal replied to
each of these questions. and followed
with similar inquiries of the colonel,
What's your rank?'' asked the corr
poral.
..Oh. I'm a colonel" was the response.
The corporal looked him over and re-
marked: 8 Oh. what yer giving me? You
can't stuff me; you don't look like any
colonel"
But | am,'' insisted Col Burt
You can't prove it." said the corporal.
Col. Burt replied that if the corporal
would meet him in the presence of his
company commander he would porduce
evidence as TO his identity. This was
agreed to, and not until the company
commander identified Col. Burt would
the corporal believe that his companion on
the trip was an officer of the army
