The Cold Mornlna Bath.

The cold morning bath is recon-
mended for those who can stand the
cold bath, though countless many
cannot. To prepare for it one should
hrst sponge the body with cold water

will not be warm or cold early in the
morning. Splash the water over the
body and wash hastily, letting the
tub fill gradually If the salt bath Is
used, do not throw the salt towel In
the laundry. Let it collect the salt.
In beauty lighthouses each individual
has salt towel that is used countless
times, because 1t gets thoroughly sat
urated and is more beneficial A cold
bath should not last longer than five
minutes.
