M'EWEN PLANS NEW WORK
Labor Commissioned to Reorganize
the Department.

William T.. McEwen, state labor
commissioner, is planning on COM
plete reorganization Of the work of
the state labor bureau AS an exam
pie he explains that the inspection of
factories has heretofore occurred
every six months. He believes that
one set Of factory inspections year
IS sufficient.
With the time thus gained for one
thing Mr.. McEwen plans to put his
inspectors at work during September
and October each year in the schools
probably to make census of the
school children of the state This will
be compared with the lists of children
who are employed. All children not
employed and out of school, or who
are employed and have not permits,
would be looked up and compelled to
attend school.
Mr.. McEwen also contemplates in
vestigations of the cost of living in
all Minnesota cities of over 5000 in.
habitants, covering not only the cost
of all staple foods, but of rents, fuel,
clothing, light and electrical service.
Statistics Of This character have never
before been compiled in Minnesota.

In response to an appeal recently

dition in Gloucester, Mass. which will
attempt to solve the mystery of the

al do not think the investigation will be pushed further was the statement of Ed Francis. night chief of police of Pine Bluff. who is a visi- tor III the city. The statement was made in the office of Chief Moore this morning to a News reporter and was regarding the recent investigations of the conduct of Chief of Police 4. |. Stewart of that city.
 There was gambling in Pine Bluff for some time,y' continued MT. Fran cls, and continued until a short time ago. just three days before the pres ent investigation was commenced, but it was stopped then because the grand jury was in session and the gamblers were afraid. Since then we have kept it stopped except some on the side, which we could not get next to. Chief Stewart has resigned and believe the Investigation will be stopped where it is.
 The city council, several night ago, appropriated S125 to defray the expenses of an investigation of the charges made against Chief Stewart by City Attorney w. B. Sorrells. :; being charged that the city officials were receiving graft from the gam blers. The city was getting a revenue from them, but the officials were not getting any graft Now that Chief stewart has resigned l suppose the investigation will go no further
 Mr. Francis is in the city spending his vacation, and states he will re- main here about two weeks longer He was a visitor here last summer. and made a number of friends who are greeting him on the occasion of his present visit here-Hot Springs News.

WITHOUT
 THE AID OF WATER
Good Rub and an Air Bath as a Sub
 stitute for tue Tub.

The condition and conventions of ou4. civilization demand frequent bathing It is popuarly supposbcd that this frequent bathing is essential to health.
 This is quite untrue. We have seen ono and vigorious men among the hahitans of Canada who had never taken a full bath in their lives. Were the truth known many thousands of our fellow citizens probably know nothing of the alleged ben etits of the tub. though maintaining ex cellent average health.
 Such people do not present tn" fresh and pleasing appearance of the frequent hathcr, however long lived they may be. Is not, however, much of the benefit attributed to the water in reality due to the complete exposure of the skin to the air:
 The respiratory function of the skin is may be dispensed with closing the pores to air would result in speedy asphy yXiation. The historic instance of the boy who i'm personatcd John the Baptist in a medaeval procession and whose body was covered with gold with rapidly fatal result i~ proof.
 The ice cold bath is a superstition: it
 is pastime for the abnormally vigorous. not desirable for the average civilized man. A bath not too cold is an agreed ble stimulant as well as being luxury. The feeling of wel-being after bath can hardly be obtained in any other way, and the rapid multiplication of tubs in hotels and private residences, soon to approach one to the individuals, shows how they are appreciated.
 Unhappy persons, however, whose travels in the provinces or into the desert may temporarily deprive them of sufficient wat CT for bathing may find substitute that will at least afford d part of their ac customed enjoyment. The body may be energetically rubbed with brush or coarse Turkish towel and afterwards exposed to the air or fifteen minutes or so. The accustomed feeling of vigor will follow and the process will be found by the uninitlat- cd to be astonshingly cleansing.
