Cherished Custom Of Anglo Saxon

Cherished Custom Of Anglo Saxon
Race Knocked on The He'd.
One of the most cherished traditions
CT the British ra4s. the cold tub every
morning," Is mefcilcssly criticised by
Dr. J. II. Clarke Of London in vital
Economy; on, How to Conserve Your
Strength" published recently.
DR.. Clarke conteEds that in the mat
ter Of health We are enslavcd by words
and phrases. "The pores Of the skin
is a phrase at the shrine Of which
many feeble folk are sacrificing the
last flicker Of their energy in the daily
morning tub. Plenty of fresh air. is
another tyrant which has claimed
numberless victims.
81 once lost good patient, who was
always ailing, by cutting off his daily
morning tub" says Dr. Clarke. "ITe
grew strong and put on weight, and
It is one of his delights to shock his
friends by telling them how many
years it Is since he had a bathw
TOO much soaping and scrubbing, ac-
cording to Dr. Clarke, remove the lu-
brlcatng material secretcd in the
glands Of the skin to make it soft and
supple, and the removal leaves the
skin more sensitive to atmospheric
changes.
The skin is self cleansing organ.
BY soaking the body the self cleans
ing cells absorb water, swell up and
die
"One has only to rub oneself after n
bath ard they come off in little rolls.
These do not consist of dirt, as is the
popular idea, but Of dead skin cells. |
often tell people that it n quite pos
sible for them to wash themselves
dirty. They remove so much Of the
protecting surface that they give the
dirt a real chance of getting into their
skins"
DR.. Clarke recommends as substi-
tute for a bath folded towel, wetted
in the center and passed rapidly all
over the body. This will "open the
pores" sufficiently without entailing
any shock.

WOMEN BUTCHERS.
An Unusual Feminine Occupation FoI-
lowed In Paraguay.

An Unusual Feminine Occupation FoI-
lowed In Paraguay.
The butchers in all parts of Paraguay
are women. In the public slaughter
houses the cattle are dispatched by
men. This is the only part of the work
done by men. The animal is skinned
and otherwise prepared by women who
are deXteroug in the use of the saw
and knife. 1t is served out to the Gus
toners by women-not generally by
weight, but by the piece-and the price
is very low.
Women of all ages act the part Of
butchers. Some are young and pretty,
others old and wrinkled. The women
are great bargainers and keen to pull
o. new arrival almost to pieces in the
hope Of securing his custom. These
women butchers earn good wages, and
many of those in business on their
own account acquire modest fortunes.
The cause of this state of things IS
the heroic war waged by Paraguay
more than thirty years ago against
the overwhelming forces of Brazil, the
Argentine Republic and Uruguay com-
bined. This war, which lasted five
years, bore many similar points of re.
semblance to the recent Boer war. II
ended in the almost total annihilation
of the ablebodied male population Of
the country.
When the war was over the peoplc
had been reduced to the most abject
poverty and were on che verge of star
vation. Worse still, owing to the de-
struction Of the male population, per-
feet anarchy prevailed, and all the
work formerly performed by males
fell on the fair sex. They rebuilt the
houses which had been burned down,
titled the fields and wove for them
selves rough homespun clothing from
the cotton grown in their own fields

Whenever possible, one should mend
woolen clothing with the ravellngs Of

mend, and if neatly done the rent will
be almost invisible.
When sewing a collar to waist do
not allow any fullness to occur across
the back of the waist. unless the waist
is designed for it. If the neck has
stretched a little and is too large for
the band let the fullness come from
the front Of the waist to Il little in
front of the shoulder seam.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER.

At the meeting of the board Of supervisors held last Mon
day, Dr. E. f. Endicott appointed health officer of
Amador county salary of $40 per month This action
this particular time is apt be misunderstood 1t is
we'll known that particular emergency in the sanitary
conditions of the county demands such action There
epidemic any contagious disease prevailing Indeed the
county is as free from in this direction any
time in its history Under these circumstances the question
will naturally be asked by the taxpayers, "Why do the
supervisors impose this additional expense upon the people,
when there appears be special occasion therefor In
explanation we may say that the supervisors in way
responsible for this action They required under
amendment of the passed by the Legislature appoint
county health officer AS the law stood before it
optional with them but under the amended law it is made
mandatory upon them This matter brought to the
attention of the board of supervisors by communication
from Dr. Foster president of the state board of health and
the only thing they could do without wfu violation of
the law their part to make appointment This
particular law as amended reads as follows:
The supervisors shall appoint in each county
health officer, who shall be deemed employe and
not county officer, and whose duty it shall be to
enforce and observe all orders and ordinances of the
board of supervisors pertaining to health and sani
tary matters, all orders, quarantine regulations and
rules prescribed by the state board of health, and
all statutes relating to the public health and to
vital statistics. He shall give to the duties Of his
office such time and attention as may be necessary
to general supervision of all matters pertain
ing to the health and sanitary conditions of the
county, and when required by the board OF
supervisors he shall give all of his time to such
duties. He shall be graduate of medical college
of good standing and repute, shall hold office for
of year, and shall receive for his services
such may be determined by the board of
supervisors.

A COMPLIMENTARY NOTICE.

The Miners Magazine the organ of the Western Feder
aon published in Denver in its issue of June 3d. devote
the greater part of page the Amador Ledger and its
editor The intent of this devotion is to lambas the editor
for his views the labor trouble growing of the
eight hour law We perfectly willing that the
of the Magazine should stand without extended criticism
part We anxious for words of commentator
from that source The editorial says:
The mine operators have been successful in en-
forcing this Interpretation of the law and the ANA
dor Ledger, the mouthpece OF the mine operators,
is profuse in its praise of the employees of the Ken
nedy mine, who earned the title of Eliot "heroes"
for their heroic service in breaking the strike
When subsidized, measly rag that is shackled
to the interests of expoiters, deals cheap
fattery in sudaton of who aided the mine
operators to add at least another half hour to the
slaves in Amador County, and when such cheap
tributes appreciated by the who have
mited treason themselves and the class 0 which
they belong, it is conclusive evidence that
amount of educational work is needed in Amador
County to clear the vision of men who yet blind
to the class struggle.
The Federation mouthpece herein virtually admits that
its mission array class against class In other words
endeavor prejudice the minds of the employees against
their employers. This may be noble mission according to
the onesded view of our cotempoary but mind is
of the detestabe calings which the human mind
be prostuted
The statement that the operators have added another half
hour the slaves in Amador county, wlfu perversion
of the truth The are in the mines on an average
fully half hour less time each day than formerly under
the nine hour system The truth the Federation organ
the avowed enemy of the wageayng and wageearnng sys
Nothing short of the extinction of the relationship of
employer and empoye will its deathe dawn of the
socialists millennium. And that faraway degeneracy of in
tellgent beings the level of the brute creation hardly
entitled to serious consideration.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma

1t is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved. and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Cham beTlain's LIDiment. The reliet
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in
cases of long standing this liniment
should be used on account of the re-
lief which il affords. DO not b0 DIS
