A Union Principle Justified.

For years the labor unions have been
demanding that the contract system OF
all public works shall be abolished.
They ask that Il city or Il state shall!
employ its Workingmen directly and
not allow speculative contractor 10
make Il fortune out OF the workers and
the taxpayers
The latest report given ont By The
city of London, England, shows that
the labor unions are right. During the
last half year London has had a million
dollars worth of work done in several
parts of the city. II has employed the
men directly. without any contractor
coming in between the taxpayer and
the Workngpan.
AS a result, the work cost $4,000
less than the estimates. Instead OF be-
ing called on for more money after the
work was done the city found thar it
had saved nearly Is per cent Of the
money it had appropriated for the
work

queried woman who was just emer-
ging from a dangerous illness. at
seems an age since l was in a tub"
"My dear Madam" returned the
physician tartly. 'Ihave known pa
TENTS as sick as you have been who
have not had soap and water come
near them for six weeks. And you
have really been kept very cleanl"
The assurance that one is clean
does not take the place of the tub
and spray to one who has the habit
of these. Least of all can one give it
up when the hard ride, the 6ercely
disputed game has brought one into
perspiration that causes the whole
being to cry out for a Tubing. The
woman does her wheeling or her
playing later in the day must deny
herself the morning bath for the sake
Of the one that will follow exercise.

Miss Mamie Groth, Platteviile, Wis.,,
writes:
al have for several years suffered
with frequent backache and would for
several days have splitting headaches.
Several of my friends advised me to
take Peruna and asked my physician
what he thought of 1t. He recon-
mended 1t and SO I took 1t and am
entirely without pain of any kind now"

In recent letter from No. 2 Grant

writes:
"Some six years ago my husband suf-

may be she should never make the
mistake of using cold water the first
thing after ride. In fact, it is very
hard to get clean by the use of cold
water alone, even when accompanied
by hard rubbing. 1t is true that the
exercise has opened the pores and
that great quantity of effete sub
stance has been sluiced out with the
preparation. But the dash of cold
water shuts the pores with snap
and whatever matter is left there is
enclosed, to be re-absorbed by the
body.
So the first plunge must be into
warm water, The soaking feels
grateful after the tension of the exer-
else, and the relaxation of the mus
cles is likely to tempt any one to re-
mair&too long in the tub. But the
time for letting oneself go is not yet.
There must first be a vigorous rub
bling either with flesh brush or
with a rough cloth or with bath
mitten of Turkish toweling or some
such material. This perhaps best,
since the hand thus covered goes ov-
er the whole body with an energy it
cannot gain when holding a wash
cloth.
The use of soap is open to discus
sion. 1t is generally taken as a mat
ter of course and yet have ! known
competent physician who claimed
that it did no good. The skin that
has been first stimulated, as by the
bicycle, horse back ride OF other Wig
orous exercise, and then coaxed into
more work by the application of
warm water does not need soap in
order to make it clean. The rubbing
have described will suffice for that.
The waste matter is removed by the
friction without the use of soap,
Yet there is no objection to this if a

mechanism neatly eneased and am
ply protected from mud and dust
and even from rain, there is no more
trouble after a return from a ride
than there is in hanging up racket
or setting the bag of golf sticks in
the corner.
Always following a bath there
must be some precautions adopted
against cold. Even the cold spray
and the hard rub have not done ev-
erything and the woman who sits in
a draft when she has just dressed af-
ter her bath runs a great risk. This
is especially the case after exercise,
but it is true also when one has TAX
ell the bath without preceding it by
the ride, the walk or the game
Sometimes one marvels what has be-
come of the common sense that was
presumably dealt out to all mortals
when they came into this world.

And she was Il sensible woman

result.

Why Go West ?

1t has been the custom for many
years for our energetic young men
to look beyond the bounds of Arkan-
sas for locations where they expect to
cast their lot and establish themselves
in some line of business, and thus Ark
ansas has been constantly deprived of
the energy and brains of many of her
strongest native sons. To illustrate
this statement one has but to go in
to the leading towns and farming
sections of the Indian Territory, Ok
lahoma and Texas where it will be
found that some of the leading citi-
zens in all lines of industry and pro-
LESSONS are natives of the much
abused Arkansas. These young
men have been induced to go west
by hearing and reading the glowing
descriptions and boundless oppor-
tunities offered them, while on the
other hand they heard and read lit
tie or nothing of the vast resources
of their home state. In years past
the current literature regarding the
state was of such a character as to
obscure the real greatness of Arkan-
sas, and the average citizen has
grown up with the belief that every
other commonwealth was preferable
to that of his own. Gradually the
real truth has revealed the fact that
no state possesses more natural re-
sources and offers a greater reward
to our energetic young men than
does Arkansas. There is no longer
an occasion for them to "go west
The same industry in Arkansas will
achieve as liberal reward as in any
other section in the union.

good plain toilet soap is used,-one
that is not highly perfumed or too
drying in its effect Every bit of this
should be washed from the skin be-
fore the cold spray is used to close
the pores and brace the system after
the relaxation of the warm tub.
The cold spray seems rather he
roic measure, but it is only for
while that it impresses the bather as
trial. In short time she cravesit
and feels no shrinking from the ting
ling of ice cold water, even after
very hot bath. The spraying need
not last long,-only a minute. 1t is a
mistake to continue it until one be-
comes chilled and loses the bracing
effect. As matter of course, there
are some bathrooms where spray
cannot be used, because of the ar
rangement of the faucets or for some
other reason. This is a pity, but it
need not oblige one to renounce the
douche. The pitcher to which have
already referred can be used or one
can adopt the simple expedient of a
man | knew who used the common or
garden variety of watering pot as a
means for attaining a cold spray.
The stimulation of the skin is pur-
sued by friction with rough towel
The ordinary towel will not serve.
Sometimes even the Turkish towel
gets soft and in such cases il is well
to pass it through a little starch wa
ter before drying it. 1t should never
be ironed, of course
The ideal method is to take haitian
hours rest after the bath and if the
ride has been long and hard one or
if the course over the links or the
contest in the tennis courts has been
unusually fatiguing, it is worth
while to give half an hour to repose
But the healthy active woman does
not usually need it unless she has
rather overdone.
"lut," hear a woman say, ut
may be all very well to talk about
taking time to battle and to rest for
the woman who has been playing
golf or tennis, but it is out of the
question for the woman who rides a
wheel Her machine has to be clean
ed before it is put away"
Not at all, my dear girl or madam.
In the DAYS before the chainless bicy-
Gle came into service this might have
lbecn the case. With the driving

THE BATH AND THE SKIN.
Different Kinds Of Baths and Their Eff
feCts. The Bath After Exercise and
as an Aid to Keeping the Health.

Copyright, 1904, by Christine Terhune Hertek.
In the first place, the bath means
cleanliness, when properly taken.
For a poor bath is almost as bad as
no bath at all. And when cleanli-
ness is achieved a long step is taken
towards health and a still longer to-
wards good looks. No one can hope
to be really attractive who has a
poor complexion and no one can ex-
pect a good complexion who does
not keep the pores of the skin open
and free of matter which does not
belong there.
Ofcourse, any woman thinks she
knows how to take a bath. Nearly
every one labors under this impress
sion until she has had a Turkish
bath and learned what is meant by
real cleanliness. After that she is of
a different opinion, She may not be
able to take Turkish baths constant
