SATURDAY BATHING.
A Custom the Occident Borrowed
From the Orient.

Most barbarians, judged by mod
ern standards. were anything but
clearly In their personal habits. In
England. France and Germany bath
ing was an almost unknown custom
until after the Crusades. The pill
grims from the east brought home
with them ideas of the bath as help
In the treatment OF disease. and bath
rooms were gradually introduced into
the hospitals. From the hospitals the
ideas of bathing spread generally.
People who had been treated there
saw the value of keeping the body
clean in order to resist disease. The
great plague that swept over Europe
in the early years of the fourteenth
century helped to teach this lesson.
BY the fifteenth century there was
scarcely q large city that did not pos
sess well patronized public bathing es-
Adjustments, although It was not un-
til the seventeenth century that the
Turkish bath was introduced, and not
until the eighteenth century that sea
bathing. 30 common among the
American Indians. was tried expert
mentally.
Saturday was chosen as bathing
time, and the reason is not difficult
to imagine. On Sunday everybody
was compelled to go to church,
whether he would or not. AS the
Moslem in the east bathed before en-
tering the mosque, SO did the medic
val man before entering his church,
only he must take his bath on Satur-
day afternoon in order to be clean
the following day. There was even
a distribution of bath money to the
children whose parents were unable
to pay for their baths.-New York
Post.

CUT MORE RATES
Commerce Commission Orders
New Kansas Reductions.
Many Topeka Rates Are Made
Materially Lower.

Notice of further important reduc-
tions in freight rate classifications
from Missouri river points to Kas-
sas towns was received today by the
public utilities commission in notices
sent from the interstate commerce
to nine cents on agricultural imple-
ments, canned goods, beans. COFFEE
and cotton piece goods from Missis-
sippt river points to Topeka are
granted by the commission. Except
on agricultural implements, the To-
peka reductions are greater than
those to any other town in the state.
In addition to these important re-
auctions. the commerce commission
granted Topeka. Salina, Wichita and
Hutchinson a reduction of cents on
axes, cents on bags and bagging, 5
cents on cartridge shells and cents
on linoleum. On four important arti-
cles-beans, coffee, canned goods end
cotton piece goods-the reductions to
Topeka are in excess of those to eny
other Kansas towns. A five-cent re-
duction on agricultural implements
was allowed to Topeka. Wichita, Sa-
lima and Hutchinson.
An order recently issued by the in
terstate commerce commission in the
Mississippi river rate case, made the
new tariff schedules effective Novem-
Der IL. 1t is probable that the addi-
lAOAdA ISQuCl1OuS OEUGTSO ny the com.
mission will be effective at the same
time. At the Office of the utilities COM
mission in the state house, it is not
known whether other orders are to be
issued in the shakeup OF the Missis-
sippi river rates. or whether the tar
iffs will stand as now quoted.
Topeka will be greatly benefited
by the new freight rates. In fact the
benefit to this town will be greater
than to any other Kansas city asking
for relief from the old schedules.
Cotton piece goods rates to Topeka
were reduced nine cents. or from "a
to 55 cents, while reductions to other
towns is but cents.
Coffee rates to Topeka are cut from
81 to 26 cents, or four cents more than
any other towns. Wichita, Salina and
Hutchinson received but a two cent
reduction on coffee
While other towns enjoy but 4 two
cent reduction on canned goods, the
Topeka rate was trimmed cents, or
from 80 to 25 cents.
The agricultural implement rate to
Topeka was reduced from 46 to Al
cents. A six cent reduction is also
made for other towns affected by the
Mississippi river rate schedule.
Following is a schedule Of the rates
as affecting Topeka:
