have friend who is constantly advocat-
ing cold baths in the morning. Can you
tell me what their effect Is, and whether
tney are good for everybody, regardless OF
their condition.?
BY doing SO you will oblige
Mrs. w. r. McC.
The advocates Of the cold bath are
like the early riser. They cannot fully
which they plume themselves without
forcing it upon all their fellows. There
Is something of hardihood engendered
in the very act which makes them rad
icals of the EXTREMIST sort, making
them intolerant of all divergence from
their ways and opinions. The question
of the cold baths agreeing with every
individual is not merely its being fol-
lowed by healthful glow: lt.is qaes-
ton OF superf1uous vitality. Have you
fuel to throw way? Have you more
physical strength, more sound, firm
flesh than you need? II you have then
are weak do not think you can gain
strength by using II so wastefully. The
hot bath Stimulates and facilitates the
natural combustion processes of the
body; the cold bath, to produce the
same results, lavishes four times the
same amount of energy. Delicate per-
sens make a mistake by trying to "har-
dem themselves by submitting their
systems to the shock of a cold both.
when there is a predisposition to cuta-
neous disorders, the cold bath tends to
increase them. Therefore my advice
would be: try the cold bath once, or
several times If you think II will benefit
you, but If there is not a thorough re-
action omit il in the future.

covered that they had built a camp

pus and baked the bread in a Dutch

Mare Island Officers Believe
System Will Revolutionize
Present Methods
TSpeciol Dispatch 10 The CALI


MARE ISLAND. oct 2s.-Mare Island
equipment officers announced today that
within short time there will be. a test
of an invention which. if successful
will revolutionize the field and naval
telegraph service. The test will be
made in fully equipped Curtiss BIZ
plane and will demonstrate whether or
not wireless can be used free from
ground connections.
Glenn Curtiss has been selected to
make the first tests in actual flight next
month, following the demonstrations at
Mare Island. If the experiments are
the success expected Chief Electrician
H E. NORM and Electrician G. s.
Whitman formerly attached to the
cruiser West Virginia. flagship of the
second division of the Pacific fleet, will
receive the credit. while their invention
will be placed in use by the navy de-
partment at once.
1t is probable that the tests will be
commenced November Is, and the ap-
paratus, which has been perfected by
the two electricians. will be given a
thorough test by the Mare Island wire
less board, consisting of Lieutenant r.
w Fawell and E. H. Dodd and Expert
George E. Hanscom.
1t is the intention Of both NORM and
whithan to go up in the model machine,
just completed at the yard. when it is
hoisted between the wireless masts, ESQ
feet high. to send ard receive messages.
They believe that with the instruments
which they have perfected they will be
able to send messages as far as the
Farallon islands and receive aero
