SHOWER BATH AS TONIC.
Beneficial for Those Physically Able
to Take Them.

Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower bath. but when taken
properly it has a tonic effect.
The best test whether it is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in glow
afterwards or feels creepy for several
hours.
The shock is not good for anyone
with weak heart. and no one who is
not well should use shower except
by the advice of physician.
AS rule, the best time for cold
shower is on rising in the morning;
the system is strongest then.
Do not stay under the shower too
long, minute is quite long enough,
unless one has exceptional strength.
1t is well to prepare for the cold
shower by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking a tepid shower and
gradually got.ing 1t colder.
Never take cold shower when chill.
ly. The cold feeling is a sign that
your physical condition is not up to
the mark.
Follow a shower by hard rubbing
and by few physical exercises Some
women go back to bed for five minutes
after the bath before dressing. The
rest overcomes any shock from the
cold water.
Do not stoop forward unduly in TAX
ing shower. 1t is not good for the
spine to receive the first shock of cold
at the base of the brain or between
the shoulders.

A Dead Bird.

Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen-
trio author Of "Erehwon"-which
means "Nowhere"-ani Of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, Is
now more read than during his life
time. He died in 1902. In one OF his
notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:

Smiles Face Value.

Although most of US would hesitate
to express what might be termed the
face value of the modern SMILE" we
certainly realize at times that 1t is n
form of currency which Is depreci-
ating. In the modern smile" we recog-
nize the crude, official thing which
neither illuminates, cheers nor bridges
awful gaps of silence. 1t may SAVIOR
of suggesting a wave Of imbecility to
declare that We ought all to smile
more, but 1t is certainly true that the
charm of a woman's smile was once
esteemed even above beauty.

(American News Scrvice)

Berlin, Dec. 1S.-According to esti-
mates which have been compiled by
a committee of aeronautical experts,
the cost of riding on any commercial
line for some time to come will be so
great that only the very wealthy will
be able to indulge.
Aerial travel, like automobiling in
its early days will be luxury. but it
is believed that in the course of time
it will be possible to build and oper-
ate an aerial passenger line at such
traffic rates that all people. poor and
rich-will be able to travel that way.

gers besides the crew.
Assuming that ascents could be
made on two hundred days in the year
the annual working expenses would
be approximately $4,000 or 1915 pei
working day.
Even assuming that the airship car
ried a full complement OF passengers
on each trip. which is highly improb-
able. it is clear that each passenger
would have to pay more than for a
days trip to cover the working ex.
penses and to yield a small margin OF
profit.
In view of the fact that the proprie-
tors would have to recken with a
smaller number of passengers on
many days the fares would have to be
appreciably higher.
Assuming that instead of undertak.
ing allday trips the airship were able
to make half a dozen aseents per day,
the fares would still have to be fixed
as high as SIS per hour.
