WHEN THE BATH WAS UNKNOWN
Nobody Washed in Europe During
the Middle Ages.

the Middle Ages.
If the bath is considered a nee
essary adjunct to advanced civiliza-
ton the social condition of Europe
during the middle ages must have
been at a low ebb. When Egypt,
Greece and Rome were at the height
of their ancient power their citizens
made bathing a social function, a
municipal duty, and a religious OBJ
serVance. The public baths of these
nations were magnificent architect
urally, and important as centers of
hygienic and municipal sentiment.
With the decadence of these coun-
tries the world seems to have revert
ed to a period of mental slOth and
physical uncleanliness.
AS an authority on the matter puts
it: For thousand years there was
not man or woman in Europe that
ever took a bath, if the historian of
these times, MicheIet, is to be be-
lieved. The ancient love of the bath
seemed to have disappeared from off
the land. There was no Greece or
Rome to hold up the ensign of clean
illness to the nations of Europe.
Small wonder that the people of the
continent became physical decadents.
as indeed they were, in spite of ira
dition to the contrary.
1T is not strange that there came
the awful epidemics that cut off one
fourth of the population of Europe
the spotted plague, the black death.
the sweating sickness, and the terri
pie mental epidemics that followed
IN their train-the dancing mania.
the mewing mania, and the biting
mania. Not only the houses hut
the persons of all classes reeked
with filth and vermin. The bath was
banished and filth was almost del
lied. Indeed, it was then thought
that the sanctitication of the body
was only accomplished when that
body was indescribably dirty.

FERTILIZER WAR IMMINENT
BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY TO BE
WAGED BY GIANT COMPANIES.
American Chemical Company In
vades Virginia-CarOIina Chem
zeal COmpany's Territory.

NEW YORK; war for suprem
acy of this country's fertilizer bus
mess seems imminent, Many mil
lions of dollars are to be utilized
in an endeavor to obtain control OF
this branch of American industry.
The first move in this campaign
is the announcement that three new
fertilizer plants will be constructed
by the American Chemical Company
during the next year in the very
heart of the territory covered by the
Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co.
One will be at Savannah, Ga,
where the company has purchased
20 acres of land, and should be
completed early in 1911, as the con
tracts have already been let. The
second will be ct Wilmington, n. c.,
and the third at Columbia, S. c.
Work on the latter two will be be-
gun as soon as possible, and the
entire three should be in operation
by next summer
Altogether the expenditures for
new construction will total some
thing like 100000, and as the
American Agricultural Chemical has
working capital of approximately
SIS, 100000, as shown by it's recent
annual statement, it is not likely
that the construction work contem-
plated will call for new financing.
Officials say the contemplated ex-
penditures for extension will not af-
feet the common stockholders posi-
ton, as the move into the southern
field is part of policy of extensions
which has been in effect for a long
time. All common dividend discus
sions have taken into consideration
the finacial requirements in connec-
tiCn with that policy.
While the American has always
been factor in the southern field the
move of building three new plants
simultaneously cannot be construed
otherwise than an aggressive inyas-
ion of the preserves of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company. An in
terest closely connected with the
Firginia-Carolina Company stated
that the southern field is large
enough for both, but generally in
fertilizer circles the outlook for a
trade war is considered excellent.
/ ne Nlrginia-Carolina is consider
ably the larger of the two corpora
lions, but the American has shown a
much more consistent record of
growth over the last decade.

is A RIVAL OF CUPID.
The Shadchen Gets Part of the Bust
ness in Our YiddiSh Colonies.

Inc SHauCnen GetS PaFG OF the BUSH
ness in Our Yiddish Colonies.
In the Yiddish colonies of our
great cities Cupid is rivaled by pro-
fessiOnal matchmaker known as the
shadchen. By no means tidy or en-
gaging this gentleman, in practical
methods, surpasses Aphrodites son.
With his little memorandum book
he interviews the parents of mar
riageable young people, or, if nee
essary, the young people themselves.
1t is better to do business with the
parents, for, if they once agree upon
the match the obedient children will
do their bidding. The carelessly
penciled notes of the shadchen's me-
mo book reveal a moving panorama
of sketches from real life, both hum
orous and tragic. The possible Gus
toner is described as:
Miss Libovitz, % years old and
little over. Shirtwaist tucker by
trade Three years in this country.
She squints a little, but can dance
Wants a lawyer, but will take a bus
mess man as a last resort. Prefers
one with curly hair. She has 81, 100.
A. Brechovsky, SO. Divorced. Has
three children and two properties.
Wants an old girl or a young widow.
Does not have to be pretty, but must
be a good housewife and make a
tender mother.
Miss Fincus, % years old; boards.
An orphan, without a relative in the
city. She has been working in a
suspender factory ever since she
came from Odessa, three years ago
But the work does not seem to agree
with her, and she coughs. A young
widOwer would do.
And so the pages are filled. The
fee of the shadchen is not a fixed one
A wealthy man would be charged
more than a poor one. Usually there
is a commission from both contract
ing parties. The grown cupid never
depends solely upon marriage brok-
erage for a living. He plies other
trades, usually such as would help
his brokerage business, as peddling. !
The shadchen is a remnant of
Jewish life in the past centuries. In
those days children were married
very young. Because of their youth |
and inexperience the parents would |
the match, and the children |
invariably obeyed. In this country, |
where early marriages are not in |
vogue, the Jewish young folk fol-
low the dictates of their affections, |
and despise the professional mar
riage broker. We're it not for the |
constant influx of immigrants from |
Russia, ROumania and Galicia, |
where early marriages still prevail |
to some extent, the shadchen would |
have disappeared long ago.

Art OF USEFUL LIVING.

We, as strenuous workers, do not
give enough thought to the fine
art of comfortable living In our
ambition for wealth aud power,
we too often forget the higher and
boiler things OF life. unmindful of
the fact that wealth and power do
not give us contentment.
1t is our duty as citizens of the
commonwealth and members of
society, to give attention to the
problems of good government and
principles that purify and elevate
industrial society. Contentment
and happiness eau come only when
we have done our duty as citizens
and neighbors.
With view of getting more en-
joyment from the blessings we
have, it should be our chief desire
10 surround ourselves with good
influences, and cheerfully cooper
ate with every organization and in
huence that make people better.
The humblest citizen can render
service for the good of the COM
monwealtb, and this should be his
highest ambition. There is work
for all, and the Influence of all is
needed.
Every man should feel it his i'm
perative duty to take part in work
for the advancement of education,
for dissemination of the noble
thoughts and nigh ideas. No one
can live alone; we are benefit or
