approval the statement of Florence Night ingale that one could make the body cleaner with one quart of hot water than With tubful of cold, and all my observa- mon and experience have confirmed her statement. Cold water closes the pores and thus aids them to retain any alien matter; hot water relaxes the cells of the skin and encourages them to open and re- lease deposits and excretions.
 Try for yourself in the simplest way. Wash your soled hands in cold water, then again in warm, and see the dirt which comes away by the second treat ment Later reverse the process and see how much cleaner your hands are after they are washed first with the warm wa ter. The result is the same when the en- tire body is bathed, and whether the bath be taken by plunge or by the sponge you will find that better and quicker ef- fects are wrought when the water Is heated, even if only to blood warmth.
 It is interesting 10 those who have all ways followed the cult of the bath to see how much an appreciation of bathing

as I have said. such drastic treatment should not be undertaken unless backed up by medical advice The hot bath is far safer
 When l say hot bath do not think that l mean long soak i'll tepid water. l mean as hot water as you can get into comfortably, a quick immersion of the body. just long enough to permit of your getting clean-and the person who has the habit of a daily bath does not need strenuous scrubbing, as & rule-and the hard rubbing down immediately after wards with Turkish towel. If you have any tendency to take cold the alcohol rub is a safeguard and is undoubtedly tonic and strengthening to any one. The grain alcohol must be used for this pur- pose. not the wood alcohol, or the dena- tured variety, useful as these are for other services.
 l have spoken of taking the hot bath in the morning, but there are some persons who prefer it before going to bed, claim ing that it rests them and makes them sleep better, while others aver that the hot bath at bedtime is exciting and ban ishes drowsGness. This is a matter the individual must settle for himself. The main point is that he should have the bath once day, if possible. and the hour for 1t may be decoed by his own prefer ence and convenience
 It may be of interest to remark here that those persons who find a short hot bath before retiring provocative of sleep lessness may be benefited by long bath This is recommended by many doctors at present The bath should be agreeably warm in temperature. plentiful enough to cover the bather as he lies in the tub and should last from twelve to fifteen min utes. l have friends who had never been able to take ordinary hot baths late at night without discomfort who have found the long hot baths soothing and conducive to restful slumber afterwards. The ex- pertinent can do no harm. but such a bath as this should not be taken every night
 Although l agree with you in your ob- lection to cold plunge baths. I carry my dstaste even further and oppose cold sponge baths except as a possible tonic application to follow a warm bath. If the intention of the sponge bath is to ac- quire cleanliness, the hot water is worth immeasurably more than the cold

Homemade Grape Wine.

Homemade Grape Wine.
 would like recipe for good home made grape wine-not grape juice.
 IF e. Pick ripe grapes from the stems and crush out the juice. They may be crushed in cider press when you have large quantity. but if only few are used you can mash them with a potato beetle or in vegetable press. Strain the juice through bag. pressing 1t to get out all the liquid. and to each quart of this allow half pound of white sugar. Put both into clean jar or cask to ferment, cover ing the top or the bunghole with piece of netting or cheesecioth. The juice and sugar should ferment together for three weeks, or until 1t Is clean and still, when it may be poured carefully off the lees and turned into bottles. These must be corked and sealed and laid on the sides in cool place

 Pictures from Old Magazines.
 :" have written to several Cornerites for their old magazines and hope to get some good pictures such as I wish. I never heard from the woman to whom sent silk samples for her quilt, but sup pose she got them. M. G."
 Lack of gratitude and appreciation is not common thing among any of our Cornerites. Thanks come with every mail, and I could not find room for half of them without taking up the space due to other letters. It Is possible that the letter of acknowled gment may have mis- carried and that she is not really so un- grateful as she seems, or you may yet hear from her. The following is the kind of note receive constantly: "I wrote for the address of Mrs. S. and after
 
 things. She has been most appreciative and has written me such nice letters. I read the Corner every week and enjoy the letters and helps. Perhaps can send in some recipes, as have some good ones
 MRS. s. J. C."

 About Fifty Magazines.
 Here are several letters having to do with reading matter:
 'I have about fftymagazinss which you are welcome to for distribution among those who cannot afford to buy something to read. I will venture to say that there are many people who would gladly send you more magazines than you could readily find places to send them if they knew you would care to have them In many apartment houses I have scen magazines thrown away in the rubbish box after they had been read because they did not know that any one would care to have them. Permit mo to sug- gest that if you were to insert . card on your page stating that they might be sent to some given address in your name you would hear from a lot of people, or if you had some one mail q postal card to the different apartment houses requesting the landlord or landlady to ask the tsn- ants to save the ma ga zines for you they would gladly do it. There are in this jolly old world thousands of people who would take keen delight in doing . kind ant, visiting the sdok. feeding the hungry and distressed. but they don't know just how to do 1t, they don't know where to look for them. and so it is left to organised char ity to investigate while tho poor suffer from want believe you could also get contributions of books, magazines. etc, from the different clubs in town if they knew you wanted them. will have the magazines at my offlcs or will send them where you direct.
