Orjoin Of Raotimo.

How did We begin to ragtime? Old
playgoers will recollect the Bohee
brothers. who came over In the early
eighties and sang plantation songs In
ragtime to banjo accompaniment. And
years before this there was the famous
"jimcrow" song and dance brought
over by Dan Rice. the first ''nigger"
minstrel. The early plantation songs
were at one time thought to be folk
songs brought from Africa. but the
generally accepted theory is that they
were picked up by the negroes from
the revival preachers But the curiously
marked rhythm Of the melodies-rag
time-is of un.cnbted African origin

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

The sooner all the great inter-
ests close their headquarters in
Washington, cease the practice
Of maintaining representatives
ut the capital, the sooner will it
be possible to get business down
to basis that will enable every
man in trade to conduct his at
fairs with a minimum Of anxi-
ETY., yet with a maximum Of
profit. II they will only figure
out how much money they are
spending in financing campaigns,
how much they are putting into
organization and how much the
Washington bureaus cost, and If
they will only then sit down like
sensible men and compute the
amount Of worry and how they
are shortening their lives by this
continuous turmoil, they will
agree with me that they will be
far better Off If they will take
their business out Of politics.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
The Gold Bath.

No man, woman or child should
neglect to battle at least once a
day. In fact. cool baths or cold
plunges should be taken two or
three times daily, If at all con-
venient. No one yet has ever
caught q cold through frequent
bathing. Everybody should take
cold bath once day at least.
preferably in the morning. Men
who do manual labor should
battle even oftener.
The only virtue in the bath
is the stimulating effect which
it imparts. There being no dan
ger in its too frequent indul-
gence. there Is every reason why
all should cultivate a habit Of
bathing several times a day.
The only danger is when the wa
ter Is too hot and too much soap
is used. In this case slight skin
diseases might ret in.
Frequent bathing at home has
never had any bad effects on a
PERSONS health. Colds do not
come through the pores. The
mouth and nose are the only
parts Of the body through which
colds are transmitted. The sea-
son Of the year. therefore. does
not necessarily have to be con-
sidered.
Some folks contend that they
have caught awful colds after
coming ont of the Turkish bath.
or course. but the cold was COM
municated not from the effects Of
the bath. but by the thousands
Of bugs" or germs which are
pent up in the room and are kept
alive by the steam.
