A Fair Trial.

For many years a neighbor of mine
had not been able to sleep after dawn
unless she shut out the light by clos
ing all the window blinds in her cham
Der.
There are five windows in the room,
which means that shutting the blinds
is quite a task. You know what a
mountain even such a mole hill can
look at night when you are very tired
any preliminaries. Moreover. in hot
weather closing the blinds shuts out
much needed air.
Within the last two weeks my
neighbor has done away with all this
inconvenience. For she has found
that by tying black silk handker-
chief over her eyes she can shut out
the light just as effectively as by clos
ing those five pairs of blinds.
Why hasn't she done this before?
That's just the point and raison
d'etre of my tale. Again and again
again a friend of hers who has used
this method for years has urged her
to try one of his handkerchiefs, and
every time she has answered, "Oh no,
that wouldn't do for me. 1 know 1
shouldn't like it, it would make me
too hot i-., rs..- -..-.
Two weeks ago the window blinds
were taken off in order to have the
house painted. And being thus forced
into 1t. she actually did try the hand
kerchief. OF course it took her a few
days to get used to it, but fortunately
circumstances forced her to give it a
fair trial, and it emphatically made
good.
How many opportunities are thrown
away. how much efficiency is lost,
how much happiness is missed be-
cause people have this foolish habit
of condemning anything which is new
to them entirely without a trial
We all believe in the theory of a
fair trial, but many of us fail to live
by it. Sometimes circumstances, as
in this case, fairly free us into MAX
ing such trial and convert us willy
nilly, but more often we go through
life obstinately insisting, Il know 1
shouldn't like it, THAT wouldn't
help me-" at wouldn't do any good
for me to try it," and so forth and
SO on.
The other day I spoke of certain
magazine to a high-brow neighbor of
mine. II don't like it, she said with
the hfgh-brow equivalent of a turned
up nose. Investigation proved that
she disliked the looks of the cover
and had never read the magazine
Another woman told me she disap-
proved of a certain author and on
my asking on which of his books she
based that condemnation I found that
she had read a single short story of
his written ten years ago
Such advance knowledge is ALWAYS
very expensive. 1t puts the man who
possesses it hopelessly behind the
man with an open mind, the man who
does not condemn without fair trial

thus cools off the body. But this nor
NAL safety valve will be very greatly
aided by plunging the body into cool
water at least once or twice and in
very sultry weather, three or four
times a day. One immersion may re-
suit in keeping the body. as it were,
on even keel for several hours after
ward. No one need hesitate to bathe
in cool water as many times a day as
will give a feeling of comfort and ex-
hilaration. In sea bathing, however,
as the temperature of the water is far
below that of the body. once a day is
usually enough, limited to such a
period as will not be followed by any
sense of chilliness or depression.

weather but always with discretion"

BATTLE WITHOUT CEAsING.

In the Health and Horse Power
department in a recent issue of the
American Magazine, DR.. Woods
Hutchinson gives some excellent hot
weather advice. He writes;
Baths are never unhealthful unless
we mistakenly attempt to render the
whole surface of the body free from
germs. This has always proved a
failure, first because it was impossible
to reach the germs, which shelter in
the mouths and tubes of the sweat
glands and hair follicles. No matter
how We scrub and steam we cannot
make ourselves aseptic. Second, such
violent steamings and scrubbings re-
suit in leaving the skin dry and harsh,
so that it cracks open when stretched,
and furnishes additional refugees for
both dirt and germs. Keep the skin
healthy and it will protect itself
against germs, even those which have
become lodged in its pores Sur
geons have found out long ago that 1t
was undesirable to try to keep their
hands too ideally clean. in the sense
of incessant scrubbings and soakings
followed by plunging into strong
germicides and antiseptics. for this
produced permanently rough,
chapped and assured condition Of the
hands. and unless they wore aseptic
gloves constantly the result was the
accumulation of a double crop of dirt
and casual germs which finally it be-
came almost impossible to scrub out in
preparing the hands for operations.
'tIn hot weather a great advantage
of bathing is to assist the body to rid
itself of it's surplus heat. All of the
vital processes of the body are attend
| ed by friction waste in the form of
| heat. which in cool or temperate
| weather is got rid of by the united
work of the blood vessels and sweat

body, retaining only as much as is

| bodily warmth. In the summer time
| whenever the temperature of the air
| approaches that of the blood, and
| especially when it rises above it, the
process of getting rid of the surplus
heat is seriously interfered with. The

ing emergencies and for the most part
can meet this by pouring out large
amounts of watery perspiration all
