When there Is no convenience for
the daily plunge bath, it is quite pos
sible, though not so pleasurable and
more troublesome to secure the same
benefit with a basin or foot tub of hot
water The essential thing is to
open the pores of the skin and
cleanse 1t by the free use of soap and
water, followed by abundant friction.
For such bath it is an advantage to
use hotter water than could be used
for the plunge. A bath Of this sort,
with the water aromatized and soft
ened with tincture Of benzoin or some
fragrant water, can be taken every
morning, summer and winter, with
none but the most beneficial results.
Followed or preceded, according to
convenience, by 10 or Is minutes de-
voted to physical exercises, its influ-
ence upon body and mind is purify
ing and invigOrating, preparing one
for any duty or perplexlty that the
day may have in store. Especially
when sleep has not been restful or
when 1t has been too short to atone
for the previous fatigue, | have
known the warm morning bath to re-
store the vitality as much as three
or four hours of sleep could do. 1t
is really wonderful corrective of
the morbid conditions induced by
brain exhaustion and want Of exer-
else. That this opinion differs radi-
cally from the theory usually advo-
Gated, | know well; but 1t is the re-
suit of experience, and repeated tests
Of different methods.
No one should remain in the
plunge bath, be it tepid, warm, or
hot, longer than half hour; and in
most cases 10 minutes is quite long
enough. The needle spray with cold
water, after the hot bath, has some
times a tonic and very invigorating
effect being especially beneficial
upon the neck and bust. But the
sponging off with cold water is as
often nugatory as beneficial | am
perfectly aware that this sounds like
heresy, but assert nothing not
proved by experience
1t would betetr be omitted with the
basin BATH the air of the room being
all that Is necessary to insure the
most perfect adjustment to the nor
NAL circulation. This air bath is, by
the by, an important adjunct to all
bathing; and one advantage of the
basin bath is that 1t affords more op-
| Iportunity for II than does the plunge
Invention has been rife in this fin
de-siecle period in restoring to the
bath something of the refnements OF

POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST
HOW TIRES SHOULD BE WASHEI

At this season of the year when
roads, in consequence Of spring show
ers, are often muddy, most motor
cars are coming in for their share Of
washing
Washing tires and washing a car
are two different propositions, says
the Michelin tire expert. Water
alone should be used to wash tires
and as little of It as necessary After
every run, the envelope should be
wiped clean with a damp sponge or
well-wrung cloth.
A common mistake made by motor
lists is to mix kerosene with water
This may be advisable when washing
the body Of a car to remove mud and
dust from the varnish, but II should
never be done when washing tires be-
cause kerosene eats rubber. This
fact can be readily proved by im-
mersing a small piece of rubber In
kerosene and allowing It to soak
The rubber will soon swell and lose
It's elasticity. The reason for this is
apparent, Kerosene is rich in fatty
properties which remain after the
evaporation Of the cases. Every time
a tire is washed with a kerosene mix
ture, the rubber is deprived Of more
Of It's strength
When washing tires, Il is best sim
ply to dampen sponge with clean
water, care being taken that the
sponge is not soaked and dripping.
Then wipe the tires dry with cloth
or handful OF waste.
This, and many other phases of the
tire question are fully covered in the
