HOT BATHS IN Japan.
The Water the Natives Use Would
PRTboiI an Occidental.

PaTboil an Occidental.
The extreme heat at which the
japanese take. their daily baths has
been the, cause of wonder on the
part of many Caucasians, and the
prevalent opinion that one is liable
10 catch cold after hot bath has
been unable to reconcile itself with
the immunity OF the japanese from
colds.
In a paper entitled "Baths and
Bathing In Japan" published IN the
Journal Of the Royal Army Medical
Corps, Major E Bruce Barnett ex-
plains these things. He says: '"The
Japanese in their persons and
houses are the cleanest persons in
the world, and every man, woman
and child of high or low degree has
q daily hot bath, The bathing habit
is universal and dates back to the
days of mythology, the baths being
taken at a temperature which is
perfectly astonishing to people who
are only acquainted with the tepid
water of Europe and America.
There are many public baths in
Japan, but nearly every private
house has one, either in the house
itself or adjacent to it. The Or
binary bath consists of a large wood
On tub, oval in shape and fitted with
a cover. At one end it is traversed
by copper tube, in which charcoal
can be made to burn, the water in
this way being readily raised to the
required temperature. Before he
enters the tub the bather thorough
ly fathers himself from head to foot
and washes the suds off by means Of
a wooden ladle or dipper He then
sits in the tub immersed up to his
chin for several minutes, enduring
a degree Of heat By which d Euro
pean would lie well nigh parboiled.
When first Japan began to study
the methods Of western nations the
excessive heat OF the baths was
strongly condemned, and a law was
made that the water in the public
baths should be only moderately
( heated This caused great discon-
tent, so committee composed Of
European and Japanese medical
men was appointed to decide the
question. The verdict was in favor
of the national custom, which was
pronounced to be not only harmless,
but beneficial. The high tempera-
ture Of the water was said to open
the pores of the skin thoroughly,
even without the use of soap, and a
healthy action Of the skin and clean
illness we're secured which it was i'm
possible to get with any amount of
washing in cold or so called hot
baths. The hotter the water the less

The invi2orating effect OF very
hot bath after u tedious days jour
ney in hot or cold weather was won
derful and very different from the
relaxing effect Of tepid bath. It
soothed the nerves, eased the tired
muscles, promoted appetite and gave

several hours afterward, while in
hot weather it had distinctly cool

A Difficult Roll Call.

We have grown so accustomed to
sunlight Of the present coloring and
shading that we can scarcely com
prehend the conditions that, would
arise if the sun were to suddenly
change to some other color. If the
sun were blue, for instance, there
would be only two colors in the
world-bhe and black--or if it
were red, then everything would
be red or black. In the latter
case we should have red snow, red
Lilies, black grass, black clear sky
and red clouds. There would be
little variety, however, if the sun
were green. Things that are now
yellow would still remain that color,

Fifteen acres have been laid aside
for park purposes and there will be

The dimensions Of the natatorium
have not yet been definitely decided
upon. but will be much larger than
the one at Canon. The new water

much water as the one at the Canon

FARMER, G0RED BY
FERoCIoUS BULL, is
-. SAVED BY BULLDOG

b Dell Rapids, 8. D., Nov. 4.-John Kill
ness, q farmer living near here, had a
thrilling experience with an infuriated
bull, and had not his dog come to
his rescue he would have been killed.
Accompanied by the family bull dog
Kilness was engaged in repairing a
pasture fence. The bull dog chased q
calf which was in the pasture, and
Kilness entered the pasture to force
the dog to let go of the calf. He had
hearly reached the dog and calf when
the bull caught sight Of Kilness and
made for him at top speed. Kilness
was some dist nee from the fence. but
thought he could make his escape and
ran for his life. Before he could reach
the fence the bull overlook him, gave
him a vicious toss and rendered him
lnsensible and was about to finish its
work by trampling and goring him to
death when the bull dog rushed to HIS
rescue. When Ktlness regained con-
sciousness the bull dog vas standing on
guard over him, having succeeded in
driving the bull away. Kilness was
badly bruised and sustained a fractured
shoulder blade. Thus the dog chased
the calf. Mr.. Kilness chased the dog,
the bull chased Kilness and the dog
finished up the episode. which might
easily have beer a tragedy, by re-
firing the bull from the field Of action
and standing guard over his master
until he had regained consciousness
and IA able to make his way from the
pasture. q

news IS WHAT
THE PEOPLE WANT
interesting Statistics Formu-
lated by Professor Regard
ing Readers of Papers.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-That the newspapers
Of Chicago, and presumably of other
American cities, are valued by their con-
features and not for editorials, cartoons,
special articles, book reviews, or critl-
cisms, has been strikingly brought out in
an investigation made by Professor Wal
ter Dill Scott, director Of the psycholoKi-
cal laboratory of Northwestern university
in preparation for a chapter in his new
book, The Psychology Of Advertising"
In accordance with the QUESTIONABLE
method he secured replies to a list OF
printed questions from about $500 repre-
sentative business and professional men
of the Windy City. These answers showed
that SO per cent read more"than n daily
paper; that Is minute q day Is about the
average time spent On the papers; hat
the determining factor in the choice Of a
paper is the quality of its news service,
the news items seeming, to possess about
70 per cent of the total interest.
One of DR.. SCOTS conclusions Is that. 'In
waging a campaign to increase the circu-
lation Of ewspape the fact should be
constantly before the advertisers mind
that people are interested primarily in the
news. A description OF the methods used
b. any great paper to secure the news
would be a powerful argument for secur
ing new subscribers. A presentation OF all
the methods employed to avoid mistakes,
and hence to present the news accurately,
would. furnish a theme for further ad-
vertisements. A truly educational cam
paign carried on in the interests Of the
two themes-completenesS OF news serv-
Ice and care to present the truth-would
Increase the circulation of any Of the bet
ter metropolitan dailies."
