Is the individual brush too much
trouble to oneself? l think not.
A woman cannot afford to spend the
time required to wash her hair With
| soap and water twice a week. 1t Is
safe to say that the average woman
would be the gamer by spending twice
as much time on her hair as she now
devotes to it.
Where an electric current Is avail
able, every home should have an cleo
trio fan. 1t is needed to keep he lv-
ing room cool in summer and warm in
winter. Nothing adds more to the COM
fort of a room in zero weather than
an electric fan to move the hot air
from the radiator to the places where it
is needed. Nothing adds more to the
comfort in summer than an electric
fan to move away the air made hot by
the body and to replace it by cooler
air.
BY following the plan of placing an
electric fan behind the stove and blow
ing hot air through her newly washed
hair, a woman a wash and dry her
hair in one-fourth the time required
under the old method.
CARE OF THE TEETH-The time
spent in keeping the teeth clean is
not too much trouble. An authority
tells me that Is per ent of the people
brush their teeth; that six out of eve
of the population make no pretense of
brushing their teeth. The first thought
one would say that since to six out of
seven people brush the teeth is a theory
and not q custom and society is get
ting along pretty well, this talk about
the necessity of clean teeth is useless.
What are the facts?

there are not enough dentists to put in

A well kept mar had to spend a few
days in the home OF a woodsman away
from the beaten track. The first morn
ing he went to a dug well in the yard,
drew a bucket of water, filled a tin
pan and washed his face. He used the

A month later he had to make the
same trip. This time he tool his equip
ment with him. Inf the morning he
cleared for action. He washed his face
with his own toilet soap, dried it with
his own towel. He brushed his teeth
with his own tooth brush, brushed his
hair with his own hair brush, his
clothes with his own clothes brush. his
the amount Of rheumatism, neuritis,
and neuralgia. The insurance compan-
les complain that the death rates from
heart disease and allied disorders Is
on the increase.
Every one of these complaints, each a
link in the chain, is justified. Society
is getting along pretty well, but society
would be getting on much better If six
seventies Of the people kept their teeth
clean. The time spent in cleaning the
teeth is not wasted. Such cleaning
should consist of removing foo parti-
cles after each meal, brushing with
a soap powder twice a day, and
thoroughly cleansing by a dentist at
stated intervals,
CLEANING THE NOSE AND TON
SILS-A large part of the rheumatism
and the after coming heart and kidney
disease Is the result of a neglected
naso-pharynx. The nose secretion hat
Is on an exposed surface will be washed
away. The secretion IN the sinuses of
the nose and in the pockets Of the tom
sils will not wash away.
If a person is prone to rheumatism,
lumbago, or neuralgia he should go to
a throat man at stated intervals to have
his tonsil pockets and nose crannies
cleaned out.
CLEAN BATHS-The frequency with
which a bath is required depends upon
the season Of the year, kind Of work
done, and other circumstances and pc
,culiarities. Under some circumstances
the time spent in a daily cleansing both
will not be time wasted. Ones work
can be better done; there will be more
snap
Not all skins, though, will stand SO
much washing. The dead coat Of the
skin is there for a purpose. One feels
roll up, but it is easy to overdo the
peeling process. The exposure of the
delicate live skin makes one more re-
sponsive to environment, and this gives
snap. This same exposure carried a bit
too far is responsible for many sum-

ExERCISE-There are people who
spend an hour or more a day in exer-
cising their muscles. Their bathrooms
are equipped with dumbells and exer-
cisers.
Some go to a gymnasium each day
for a half hour or longer. A few spend
enough time at it to develop those
great massive, monumental muscles
shown in some advertisements.
On the other hand, we are told by
authorities that muscles may be Iiabili-
ties; that any muscle tissue in excess
Of hat required for the days work is
useless in. the first place and a burden
In the second. They say: why carry
arcund pounds of unusued lunbet; why
hours a day needed to keep it in condi-
ton; why clog the system with it's
waste; why spend time, energy, money
in building up a Frankenstein, a
muscle god, when ommon = tells
you it is IN incumbrance that finally
destroys it's worshipers?
How much trouble shall a mans mus
cles be to him? The muscles make up
three-quarters of the man. If it is a
matter of mathematics-as goes the
muscles, SO goes the man.
However, the muscles are slaves.
They are the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water. A grain of brain,
or an ounce OF liver has more to do
with a mans welfare than has a pound
of muscle.
To say that man to keep right should
devote three-fourths of his effort to his
muscles because they make up three
fo,lrths of his weight is to lose sight of
the factors which count.
As a further consideration we unin-
~tentionally exercise our muscles. Do.
we need any exercise in addition to the
exercises Of the daily routine? Yes.
The man who works with his hands
needs it just as much as the man who
leads a sedentary life.
When a man has spent his day
pounding rivets he needs a chance to
play. The use of a different set of
muscles rests him and helps him to
get rid Of the fatiuue toxins resulting
