Too Much Bathing Dangerous Sport.

Do not enter the water when you are per-
spring Violent exercise, followed by per-
spiration and then by dip, is enough to
cause a severe Illness The body is deli

The ideal time to bathe is when the body
is warm, not overheated, nor yet cooling after
perspiration. Wait until the body is at a
normal temperature.
A pledget of cotton should always be in
serted in the ears before bathing. If you have
ever had ear trouble this is absolutely neces
sary 1t should, however, he adopted by
every one. The pledget keeps one from suf-
fering from that uncomfortable blocked or
singing sensation. 1t keeps all foreign sub
stances from entering the ear, some of which
may cause permanent deafness. 1t also keeps
out the water, which often serious in
fammation.
If you get chilly after you are in the water
for a few minutes, instead of warming up, if
your hands and feet feel numb, get out of
the water at once. Your heart trouble may
not be serious enough to worry about outside
of the water, but it is too serious for bathing
and must be guarded against.
Chills usually do not come from the water,
but from sitting or standing about in wet
bathing suit on the sand or ON spring board.
Keep in the water and keep active and you
will not suffer from chis nor colds as the re-
suit of your bathing.
If you are subject to nervousness or faint
ing bathing is sheer madness. Keep out of
the water
Do not stay in the water long the>frst time
you enter if you wish to benefit by your bath
ing On the first day just a dip under and
dozen strokes is sufficient. The next day
you can increase these three minutes to FIVE,
then to fifteen minutes. Most people stay
too long in the water for either health or
real pleasure.
Never take more than one dip day Out
of door bathing is strong tonic and any
tonic reverses its effect if given In too large
quantities
After your dip, take shower. Never neg

Follow this by brisk rundown. Then go
for sharp walk or run until you feel your
body warm and. glowing. That Incorporates

Never battle alone if you are at all nerv-

safety of which are not known to you.
These rules of DR.. Hartmann's will prove
useful to those who intend bathing in sea or

hours after hearty meal Indigestion, fol-

Mans Next Great War with Insects.

~ HE greatest war that is going on at the
present time is not war~in which both
sides are men. Iteis not a war in
which rifles or cannon play a part
The biggest battles of today are with much
smaller foe than man. They are battles with
insects.
Although unknown to many people, these
battles in which men and insects are the
combatants adding a new chapter to the
history of the world.
South Africa is one of the greatest of these
battle grounds. There, hostilities are being
CARRIED on relentlessly.
Locusts are one of the enemies in South
Africa.
As soon as there is a swarm of locusts, news
is flashed to the department of agriculture
at Pretoria. As result, battle ensues with
sprays of arsenic instead of rifles The lo-
Gusts, due to these battles, are being rapidly
exterminated.
On the west coast of Africa a great cam
paign is taking place against close relative
OF one of our own foes, the mosquito In
Africa.it has been definitely established that
the mosquito is the transmitter of three most
terrible diseases malaria, elephantiasis, and
yellow fever If a man is bitten only once
by mosquito there may develop any
one of these horrible diseases The same
methods are being used against the African
mosquito as we are using here in the United
States in a civil war against the mosquito.
Hundreds of ponds being drained and
other bodies of water are being covered by
a thick oil.
A little fish known as the million" is the
weapon used in the great battle against the
mosquito in West India and the Hawaiian
islands. This little. fish is natural enemy
of the mosquito The beneficial work of the
"million - was first noticed at Barbados,
whose lakes and streams were full of this
small fish. Barbados did not suffer from the
scourges brought by mosquitoes but the ad-
jacent islands, where the "million +" did not
live suffered greatly This suffering is III
minishing since the introduction Of the mil
? lion y into all ponds and streams that cannot
be drained or covered with oil.
In the Panama canal zone the conflict be-
tween man and insect has been remarkable.
Man has won all of the battles. Yellow fever
in all of its horror, direct result of germs
carried by the mosquito has been driven away
from Panama by successful war on the pest.
Another pest on which a grea. onslaught is
being made is the tsetse fly. The record Il
this insect is but little less terrible than that
of the mosquito, for among the diseases it car
ries is the sleeping sickness, for which there
is no cure and which has swept away whole

Sea ueed Makes Real Good Food.

- EAWEED is eaten as food in Scot
land
AT this time of the year laver is in
season among the Scottish fisher folk.
LAYER is an edible seaweed 1t Is easily
prepared for food. 1t is first dried and pound
ed. Then it is stewed with salt, pepper, and
vinegar Onions or leeks are frequently add
ed to this dish of laver, which has flavor all
of It's own and much liked by the fishermen.
In Ireland a similar seaweed is called
:" sloke. 1t is frequently boiled with milk
into sort of salty blanc-mange, or Gus
tard. Another way to prepare sloke is to

tically with the same amounts of the same
elements.
Oil of roses and common coal gas are both
formed alike, being composed of hydrogen
and CARTON in the same proportion.
Sugar and gum arabic, two entirely un-
like substances, are brothers because they
are composed of the elements Of the same
weight and texture.
All hydrocarbons are alike in their compo-
sition, being composed Of ten atoms of car
bon and sixteen atoms Of hydrogen. Yet they
are all entirely different in effect. Some of
the hydrocarbons are oil of orange, lemon,
cloves, ginger and black pepper
Other peculiar things are noted at the
union of two substances. Hydrogen gas is
odorless. So is nitrogen gas. Yet, when
united chemically, they form ammonia, which
has an exceedingly strong odor.

Things That Seem Widely Apart.

" HERE are many real freaks of ma
ture" in natural formed substance.
The same natural elements combined
in apparently the same way do not al
ways form the same result
There are about seventy elementary sub
stances in nature which, combined with one
another, form the various substances on the
earth The curiosities are the products of
the same elements, nothing differing but the
arrangement of the atoms.
Diamonds and coal! They seem to resen-
Bile one another not at all. And yet they are
combined from the same elements and in al
. most the same way. Carbon is the base of
both of them.
The white of an egg and rattlesnake poison
are as widely different in effect as two SUBJ
stances could possibly be. Yet they are both
made of albumen and are formed almost iden-

Dulse is the local name for still another
species of edible seaweed that is mixed with
barley meal and made into bread in the west
ern highlands of Scotland
In Wales, fourth kind of seaweed is first
dried and pounded and then mixed with or

- r. KONRAD HARTMANN of Ber-
lin a specialist who has made a study
II of bathing in the lake and ocean and
its results, believes that much illness
is caused by indiscrminate bathing.
According to DIR. Hartmann, severe head
aches, indisposition, serious sickness, vio-
lent indigestion, and even death are some of
the penalties imposed on the rash bather who
does not know the laws governing bathing.
DIR. Hartmann says that there are some
persons who can run risks in sea and lake
bathing and are not injured by things that
would cause the death of the average bath
er, but he believes that every one should be
careful before indulging in this pastime.
Here are the rules made by DR.. Hartmann:

Is Mrs. Wilson extrayagant? Or was
Mrs. Roosevelt economical? Or has the cost
of living so advanced that the two allow

amount of money she intended spending on

This does seem small when you think OF
the multitude of functions Mrs. Wilson is
called upon to attend But isn't it a good
thing that she has given an example in mod
Grafton to the women of the nation? Aren't
there too many women who drive their hus-
bands to the wall putting up a front +" and
trying to dress little better than their
neighbors?
The average society woman spends from
$1,000 to $4,000 annually upon dress, and
several spend more than $4,000.
These women buy whatever appeals TO
them, without counting cost or utility They
have no set allegiance. but purchase what
they choose and let hubby" foot the bill
Do you think you could dress on $500 if
you were in the White House? Can you do
it anyway? Mrs. Roosevelt did, but it takes
forethought and care.
Every woman should plan her wardrobe
carefully. 1t is plain extravaganza to buy
without purpose or design. SO many women
go down the street of a summer morning,
and, seeing attractive suit in the window,
walk in and buy it just because it is a bar
gain and because it seems criminal to them to
let such an opportunity slip by.
