we can TO secure the automobiles after

MUCH DEPENDS ON THE RUB
Air Bath as % Substitute for the
Tub When Water II Not
Available.

The conditions and conventions OF our
civilization demand frequent bathing. II
is popularity supposed that this frequent
bathing is essential to health.
This is quite untrue. We have seen fine
and vigorous men among the inhabitants
of Canada who have never taken a full
bath in their lives. Were the truth known
many thousands OF our fellow citizens
probably know nothing Of the alleged
benefits of the tub, though maintaining ex-
cellent average health.
Such people do not present the fresh
and pleasing appearance Of the frequent
bather, however long lived they may be
is not, however, much of the benefit at
tributed to the water, in reality is due to
the complete exposure of the skin to the
air.
The respiratory function of the skin is
Of high Importance, and although water
may be dispensed with. closing the pores
to air would result in speedy asphyxia-
ton, The historic instance OF the boy who
impersonated John the Baptist in a medic
val procession and whose body was COW
cred with gold leaf, with rapidly fatal re-
suits is proof.
The ice-cold bath Is a superstition; II Is
a pastime for the abnormally vigorous,
not desirable for the average civilized
man. A bath not too cold is really an
agreeable stimulant as well as being a
luxury. The feeling Of we'll being after a
bath car hardly be obtained in any other
way, and the rapid multiplication Of tubs
in hotels and private residences, soon to
approach one in the Individual, shows how
they are appreciated.
Unhappy persons, however, whose trav-
els In the provinces or into the desert
may temporarily deprive them OF sufficient
water for bathing may find a substitute
that will at least afford a part Of their
accustomed enjoyment The body may be
energetioaily rubbed with a brush or
coarse Turkish towel and afterward ex-
posed to the air for fifteen minutes or 30.
The accustomed feeling Of Vigor will fol-

uninitiated TO be astonishingly cleansing

Chief Donahue.
" I favor heavy fines and even Jail sem
fences as punishment for negligence and
violation Of the city ordinances on the part
Of owners and drivers of machines. These
two accidents, both collisions between the
two kinds of machines, ought to teach a
lesson. but II they do not prosecution in

are three possible charges on which Walter
Williams, colored, may be held. He was
arrested Friday in connection with the

HE may be held for fast or reckless
driving. or for taking the machine with
out permission, which is an offense," says
Captain Mostyn; or II Monick should die
from the effects OF his injuries and the
coroner's Jury should return a verdict
blaming Williams, the latter might be held

Democrats Are
Getting Sore on
Shallenberge
Governor Losing Ground Every Day
with His Party Out in the
State.

Things are popping out IN the state in
the democratic party and Governor Shall
lenberger is a badly scared man." re-
marked a late candidate on the democratic
state ticket in the city Saturday.
The governor is losing ground and
losing friends rapidly, more so than a
person would naturally think. I did not
believe Il until a few weeks ago. but in
the last few weeks 1 have heard things
that convince me that Shallenberger is tot
tering."
Failure on the part OF the governor to
stand pat" and his proneness to appoint
enemies to positions and turn down friends
after they had been promised places were
given as the principal reasons for the cool
wave setting against him by the late cam
didate who requested that his name be
not used for the reason he was on the
same ticket with the governor last fall.
"A state senator called up the governor
one day and asked him to appoint a GER
tain friend to a certain position" he con-
tinued. THE governor said: Yes, 1 will
appoint him. Can l tell my friend?' the
senator asked, and the governor told him
that he could tell the friend that his COM
mission would be sent in a few days. But
what did shalienbergsr do? The next day
he appointed a republican.
This made the state senator so sore
that he has secured a solid delegation
from his county to go to the state CON
vention at Lincoln next week and to insist
on the adoption Of a resolution censuring
the 8 o'clock closing law.
"-Shallenberaer seems to nave the idea
that his friends will stay by him anyway,
and that he will make new friends nv an
pointing enemies to lucrative positions.
But this will not go and l think he has
begun to see the error of his ways, but
too late. Shallenberger is certainly scared,
and he we'll may be-"
