FOR A HEALTHY SKIN.
Excretions, Cold Tonic-At .1t
Sleeping Clothes.

The body breathes through every
pore; it exhales. throws off fatty acids
and waste materials in the perspira.
tion: and this process of elimination
Is going on constantly in the healthy
body, though We are only conscious
of it when the sweat glands have been
so stimulated az exrcise that they
throw of the heat and moisture faster
than evaporation can carry it off.
Now it is Just as important to keep
the skin in healthy state. to excite
its glands to better activity by gen.
tie friction. to keep every pore open
and free from clogging dirt and dust
as it is to keep the lungs unhampered.
Yes, fresh air and sunshine are as
necessary to the skin as to the lungs.
Cold water is an excellent tonic. 1t
will stimulate by its tonic effect the
surface circulation 1t will make you
feel brighter, stronger and fresher
perhaps, but it will not thoroughly
cleanse the skin.
The pores of the skin close at the
first touch of cold. and this shuts in
move. Hence. l beg of you to remem-
Der that the cold sponge should al
ways be preceded by the warm bath,
II you desire to free the skin from all
eXcretiOns.
Another important point that, too,
many Of us pay very little attention to
is complete change of clothing at
night, II We would sleep we'll and gain
the greatest benefit from our rest.
No piece of clothing that we have
worn all day is fit to sleep in. from a
hygienic standpoint. Clothing worn
by day should be we'll aired by night
and night clothing should be aired by
day.
Clothing that all day long has alb
sorbed the excretions thrown of by
the body through the skin is as unfit
for the body to sleep in as close i'm
pure room is for the lungs.

Colonel Harris prides himself ON be-

riety. He and his little following Of
personal friends in the State feel that
there is something magnetic about
the Southern aristocrat and that the
use of the geographical adjective will
make him more popular among the
members of his party. It is for this
reason that the Colonel cannot stand
the idea Of being placed in humiliat'
ing position. He realizes now that

him that victory would be certain
tricked him, or that they were ignors

love thanks his stars because a ram
"butted in" at crisis in his affairs.
He has for sixty years been farming
near Leonard Center, and all Orange
county knows him.
Once he was spry upon his feet,
but the other day, when his belted
Holstein bull which he was leading
to water, knocked him down, he found
1t hard to regain his balance. The
Holstein retired a few PAGES, scalped
the turf, lowered his head and was
ready to charge the helpless farmer.
It was in the middle of a ten-acre
lot and no human aid was nigh.
Just ais the last snort had been
given by the king of the meadow
there was a swift fash Of dull gray
and curled horns. Something struck
the bull right In the middle Of the
forehead, backed away, made swift
detour and came at him again from
the rear. The Holstein ran like
creature possessed, pursued by what
looked like a moving BLUR. Then
his front legs nearly collapsed under
him.
Freelove got to his feet as quickly
as he could and gained the refuge Of
the road. There he saw frightened
bull believing and lodging about
yard in advance of Daniel, a Dorset
ram, which had gained entrance
through a break in the fence and had
gone to the rescue Of his master. The
bull finally sought refuge at the top
Of a large heap of stones, up which
the ram could not charge. The Dor.
set was finally called away from the
scene Of hostilities.

himself "a Patrick Henry Democrat
IN his opening speech at Fort Scott.
which was intended by the party man
sgers to mark the beginning Of the
Democratic campaign In Kansas. Since
I that time there has been considerable
speculation as to the meaning Of the
Illinois candidate for Governor OF
Kansas. Casual references to history
discloses tie fact that Patrick Henry,
despite his brilliant services to the
colonies before and during the war
Of the Revolution. opposed a constitu-
|tional government and fought to pre-
vent the ratification Of the Constitu.
tion which brought the United States
into life as a nation. Patrick Henry
refused to accept a seat in the Con-
etitutional convention as q delegate
from Virginia. He took the stump and
spoke almost constantly against the
ratification of the Constitution. It
was Patrick Henry who prophesied
that the ratification Of the Federal
Constitution would but mark the be-
ginning of the end to the liberties OF
the people.
In other words, Patrick Henry was
30 ardent states right man that he
was opposed to any sort of constitu-
tional union of the colonies. His
course in Virginia was such that the
ratification of the Constitution by that
colony was greatly endangered and il
required all the influence Of George
Washington to prevent its rejection.

was so bitter that he never took part
in the public affairs of the nation az
