COLD BATHS AND TAKING COLD.

"The reason most persons who try
to take cold baths In the winter take
cold" said man who takes his bath
straight from the Croton reservoir. via
the tap, every morning, as that they
don't know how to go about 1t. They
don't begin early enough. 1t is no use
for a man who feels the invigorating
effect Of cold plunge when he goes to
Turkish bath about this time to
make up his mind that cold water Is
good enough for him the rest OF the
winter. He should have begun to
think Of that in October, taking a cold
plunge, shower or sitz every morning
that he was able to get out Of bed.
''If man has given up cold baths
for a week or two ii Is little use for
him to take 1t up again this winter.
Better start in next spring and per-
sist. Then by next winter he will
probably not take cold, no matter how
much exposed. He Is the man you will
find riding on the outside platforms OF
the elevated cars in the coolest wealth
