SHUN SOAP; EAT DIRT
BEFORE THE HEALTH
CLUB OFFER THEORIES.
Clearly People Frailest-country Va
cations Held Good Because of Mud
and Sand Taken with Food
Other Arguments.

Chicago.-"I don't believe in soap
ing. Some people are better without
bathing, and am sure too much bath.
ing is not good"
In these words Or. Mary A. Sey-
mour startled the Promotion Of Health
club with her reply to DR.. Cornelia
Clatiin's advice to take two baths a
day with liberal use of soap.
I'VE are not dirty enough" declared
DR.. James C. Price. who joined in the
discussion. The fact is. we are too
clean. Children are not dirty enough.
In my practice l have noticed that
the greatest sickness and the largest
number Of fatal cases are among those
who use soap and are over-particular
about bathing. We ought to eat more
mud and clay. The trouble with the
present generation is that it doesn't
eat its peck OF dirt year.
what Is the use OF these vacations
spent in the country! The real bene'
fit of vacation in the country is that
you eat sand and dirt. You go into the
garden and eat the strawberry from the
vine without stopping to brush the sand
of II. You eat other fruit and vegeta-
bles in the same way without taking
them into the kitchen and washing and
peeling them down until all of the dirt
and husk is removed.
I'VE must have all the hull taken from
the wheat and nothing but the soft in
side left. The fact Is our intestines are
becoming nothing but ilabby tubes.
why are you so afraid of little good,
wholesome dirt? You ate plenty of it
when you were children. You dropped
your bread and butter in the dust and
didn't even bother to brush il of before
you ate it,
when the cerebro-spinal meningitis
or some other disease begins to claim
victims. what do the doctors do? Why,
blame il to the microbes. The microbes
are getting abused. The doctors must
have some scapegoat. They used TO have
the devil. But now, when they run up
against something they don't under
stand, they yell microbes. In truth the
little mocrobes are the best friends We
have"
Soap found valiant champion. how
ever, in DR.. Mary Donohue. She said;
in the tenements have found children
who had not been thoroughly washed
with soap for two or three years. With
much labor and liberal use of soap was
able to get the soil off only in spots.
IL believe that such conditions will
certainly give rise to epidemics. An
epidemic might start any time in the
tenements Of the West or North side. We
have had municipal ownership of streets
and alleys for long time, but what is
the result? Our streets and alleys are so
filthy that they would act as channels to
convey disease all over the city if an
epidemic were started

city council in body and force it to i'm

streets. cleaner houses and cleaner PEG.

France and United States May Act
Together.

Washington, Oct 12.-Venezuela was the sub
ject Of an important conversation at the State
Department to-day between Secretary Root and
NJ. Jusserand. the French Ambassador. The
latter has been awaiting the arrival here of the
report of Judge Calhoun, the American special
commissioner, before recommending to his gov
ernment a course of action Judge Calhoun
has reported verbally to the President and the
Secretary, but he has not yet completed his
formal report upon the conditions he found eX-
listing in Venezuela.
Enough is known. however, to show the Sim
ilarity between the grievances of the Paris and
Washington governments Whether this sim
ilarity shall find a corolary in a parallel action
on the part of the two governments to right
their grievances has not yet been decided,
France has informed the United States that the
course she has shaped is one of extreme pa
tience, but Of even greater frmness
1t can be announced that the French govern
ment already has considered several courses of
action, any one of which it is believed would
bring President Castro to terms. More tNill be
adopted, however, until Secretary Root and NJ
Jusserand have further considered he report
of Judge Calhoun. In the mean time both gov
ernments will bide their time, letting it be
known that both are equally determined to OBJ
tain an early justice for their citizens.
Secretary Root spent considerable part of
day in consultation with Mr. Calhoun and
Consul Plumacher Of Maracaibo regarding pend
ing issues between this country and Venezuela.
This consultation followed his talk with Am
bassador Jusserand about the French Gable
Company complication. The understanding is
that the Secretary is getting material for a spe-
cial report to the President, which may in the
end be laid before Congress, with the purpose of
securing an expression of legislative opinion as
to the policy to be adopted by this government.
