BATH A PATHETIC DELUSION.
Expert intercollegiate Says Tt Leaves
Dirtier Condition Than Before.

EAPtIO 4nICEOUIOlOSlSG says HI Leaves
Dirtier Condition Than Before.
To take a bath only leaves ones
skin in dirtier condi- ion than be-
fore. This is the melancholy opin-
ion expressed by the leading micro
biologists of the world, whose views
are collected by a leading French
publication.
According to these experts, who
have been making a number of tests,
the ordinary bath only multiplies the
growth of microbes, which always
flourish on even the healthfest skin.
DR.. Tsidaka, the famous Japanese
bacteriologist, for example, recently
had three men battle in clean water,
one after the other, the bathers each
time being thoroughly scrubbed with
fresh water. All afterward were
found to have three to four times
as many micrObe colonies on their
backs as previously.
Other scientists agree with the
Japanese professor. One says that
the idea of cleansing the skin from
microbes by the application of soap
and water is a pathetic delusion, as
the bacterial growth is only stimu-
lated and increased by these means

WOULD YOU THINK IT?
Most All Women Are KnOck-Kneed
Says Eminent Surgeon.

Says Eminent surgeon.
Eighty-two per cent of the women
are knock-kneed. Would you think
it from looking at them? Certainly
not, because of the skirts. And it is
the very skirts that are at fault,
says DR.. Karl Francke, distinguish
ed orthopedic surgeon of Munich, Ba-
varia. At the age of three years, he
says, three-fourths of all the chill
dren are knock-kneed, but shortly
the defect disappears from 80 per
cent of the boys because they are
permitted free use of their legs. In
women, however, he says, knock
knees persist because Of the skirts
they wear, which prevent fir e ex-
ercise of their legs" Evidently Dr.
Francke doesn't know a great deal
about American children. In this
country the girls have free use of
their legs until they are at least half
grown, and one will not find many
knock-kneed "teeners' on the
streets, at that.

NEW YORK.-The story of a re-
markable game of bridge whist,
which was played on the lasC trip of
the liner Olympic between New York
and Plymouth, was told here. The
players were two Americans, an Aus
tralian and an Englishman, playing
at 5 cents a point. They were fairly
matched and played freely, declar-
ing on light hands and doubling a
declaration with the smallest justi-
fication.
The Englishman made heart dec
laratfon, and was promptly doubled
by his opponents. He redoubled and

was again doubled. The redoubling
did not finish until, according to an
onlooker who was keeping tally, the
value had multiplied nineteen times.
The game when played out resulted
in the loss of the odd trick by the
Englishman. When, however, the
players calculated what the points
were they found they had multiplied
up to 2,O97,152 and that the trick
was worth S104,850. The losers
said that this was absurd, and that
no one realized what he was doing.
Eventually it was agreed that losers
should pay $500 each for the odd
trick.

Cries and Means in the Water.
For some time, it seemed fully

None of the cries or means seemed

country OOIng 10 DC deaVys
The cotton trade between this
country and Japan is wonderfully
active this year." says Mr.. A. Yama-
da, the first Japanese member of the
New York Cotton Exchange, who is
considered the best authority on cot
ton in Japan, being one of the d.
rectors of the Japanese Cotton Trad
ing Co. His seat in the exchange
cost him $17,500. THE year has
been a record-breaker so far. The
cotton exported to Japan from Amer
lea will easily amount to 100000
bales by the end of the year. The
average of the last few years was
around 100000 bales,'' he says.
Japan uses from 100000 to
l, 100000 bales of cotton year. In
addition to the 100000 we used to
get from this country we had about
100000 from India and about 300,-

American cotton is the best, and

$4,000, 900 people to clothe and they
all wear cotton garments. Besides
we have within easy reach China

people use cotton fabrics to a very

position is most favorable for the
cotton industry, being the center of
three cotton growing countries

ton in Japan. We produced some

Coffee keeps thousands of people

That is to quit coffee absolutely: a
