of 66,736 short tons, or 3.71 per

says Mr. Parker, and the apparent
decline in prices are not, however
indicative of an actual falling off in

Opposes Cold Water Theory.
One of the greatest delusions-or
oldfashioned bosh. as 1 should call 1t
lis the prevailing notion that warm
water is enervating. I think the exact
opposite is the truth, and 1 believe
in reasonably warm water for nata-
forums and pools. Why should a per-
son use UP his animal heat and energy
in fighting against cold water when
he needs his. muscular power to glide
through the water. What child can
absorb instruction while shivering and
shaking with the cold?
A cold air bath is a splendid tonic
for the skin, but a cold water bath
is a heat absorber, which I believe is
injurious aside from any effect it
might have on weak hearts, For those
who have strong hearts nature will
protect the vital organs against cold
and throw out layer after layer Of
adipose, so the fat will become fatter
and fatter, but the kidneys and lungs
and heart of the thin will suffer from
the abstraction of heat.
