ship has been under discussion for
some time and several influential
leaders have been considered. Sec
rotary Cortelyou sustains very close
relations not only with President
Roosevelt but also with the party
leaders throughout the country, and
when his name was suggested it met
with instant favor. Should he be
selected Secretary COrtelyou will re-
sign from the cabinet and devote his
entire time to the campaign. 1t is
asserted with emphasis that no ALSO
lutte decision as yet has been reached,
but prominent men in the councils of
the republican party have impressed
on the president the desirability of
Secretary Cortelyou's selection. II
is reasonably certain that ]. w.
Blythe of Iowa will be prominently
identified with the conduct of the re-
publican campaign in the west and it
is likely that he may be vice-chair-
man of the national committee or
sub-chairman in charge of the west
ern end of the campaign. For a time
he was urged by Senator Allison for
the craftsmanship but ii is probable
that he will occupy the position here
indicated. Cornelius Bliss of New
York, for many years treasurer of the
national committee. probably will
again fill that position.

JAPs LOVE THEIR BATHS.
Everybody in the Land of the Chrys-
anthemum Likes to Be Clean.

Everybody in the Land of the chrys-
anthemum Likes to Be Clean.
From time immemorial the bath tub
has been an honorable institution in
Japan. Instead of a cold dip in the
morning, the Japs take their baths hot
in the afternoon, at about 8 o'clock,
and, beginning at 100 degrees, the ten
dency is to raise the temperature as
one becomes acclimatized, so to speak.
One traveller tells of the Kawarayu
bathers, who stay in the tub for sew
eral weeks at a time with stones in
their laps to keep their bodies from
floating while they are asleep.
The usual thing is to have the tub
on the lawn with a charcoal fire be-
meath it, so that one can get into the
water at so degrees and sit in it until
it reaches 100 degrees. AT this point
griffin" which is to say a newchum,
a green horn, or a tenderfoot, usually
has to get out, for it becomes literally
too hot for him. But, after a year or
two of practice, he can manage 115 or
12O degrees. The Japs themselves can
enjoy a bath even at 12S degrees.
A traveller tells an amusing tale OF
how he visited Japanese friend on at
home day and accepted the offer Of a
bath on the lawn. He got in when the
water was tepid and enjoyed it inn
mensely up to ninety something. Just
as he was thinking of getting out, his
friends wife and daughter put in an
appearance and began to wash rice at
a well near by. Now the regulation
bathing dress of Japan is like foot
less stocking without leg, or bung-
hole without a barrel around it, and
our traveller hadn't it with him at the
time. He endured another five de-
grees and then, with death by boiling
staring him in the face, he was forced
out with an involuntary yell that at
tracted much attention.
The fact is that in Japan everybody
battles in puris naturalibus. It is their
way. and it is not till a European has
lived among them for years that he
or she realizes that after all there is
nothing very terrible about it.

Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due

One of the common symptoms OF
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams
that spell what should be restful

could suffer, but when a friend adj
vised me TO leave off coffee l felt as
if he had insulted me. l could not

cause.
But it turned out that no advice
was ever given at a more needed time,
