SHOWER BATH TO CURE
Boys HATE OF WATER

Does your small boy "hate water p
If he does, you may be reasonably
sure that he is no exception, although
you Will no doubt have remarked
that his hatred soon vanishes when
he goes down to the "swimmin' hole"
The simple truth is that no boy hates
water-he simply hates a tub-hates
it because it is contrary to his in
heritances. For few of us have out
grown the primeval joy that comes
from intimate contact with water
not in tubfulls or pailfulls-but in
large doses, wherein we may disport
and dive to our hearts content.
But the hatred of the small boy
for indoor bathing is fast vanishing
before the shower bath, the cleanest,
cheapest, simplest and most efficient
form of bathing. now brought within
reach of every owner of a bathroom,
no matter how small or how modest
in its appointments.
All authorities, medical and
hygenic, are practically agreed upon
the superiority of rain bathing. The
well known invigorating action of
the water drops upon the pores, to-
gether with the fact that the shower
bath is absolutely hygenic, from
every point of view, since the water
does not come in contact with any
surface upon which germs may
lodge, combine TO stamp it as the
really modern form of bathing.
And as for the small boyl Try him

by merely turning the handle of the

are much mistaken if you do not find
that his dislike for the bath will
vanish In its train will follow a
freedom from colds and coughs and
a clearness of eye and skin which
