well as TO stimulate them.
Is the individual brush too much
trouble to oneself2 i think not.
A woman cannot afford TO spend the
time required to wash her hair with
soap and water twice a week. IL 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 II.
Where an electric current is avail
able, every home should have an cleo
trio fan II is needed to keep the liv-
ing room cool In summer and warm In
winter. Nothing adds more TO the COM
fort of room in zero weather than
an electric fan TO move the hot air
from the radiator to the places where II
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 can 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 10 per cent OF the people
brush their teeth; that six out Of seven
Of the population make no pretense or
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 a custom and society Is get
ting along pretty well, this talk about
the necessity OF clean teeth IL useless.
What are the facts? -.s..
The school inspectors tell us that
there are not enough dentists to put in
order the bad teeth Of the children In
the schools. The people complain OF
A we'll kept man had to spend few
days In the home or a woodsman away

drew a bucket Of water, filled q TIN
pan and washed his face. He used the
family roller towel Beyond this he
could not make much of a toilet.
A month later he had to make the
same trip. This time he took his EQUIP

the amount OF rheumatism, neurttis,
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 I'm the chain, Is justified. Society
In getting along pretty well, but society
would be getting on much better IL 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 food parti-
Giles after each meal, brushing with
q soap powder twice a day, and
thoroughly cleansing by q dentist at
stated intervals. e.,
CLEANING THE NOSE AND TON
EILS-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 that
is on an exposed surface will be washed
away. The secretion in the sinuses of
the nose and In the pockets OF the ton
sils will not wash away.
If a person is prone to rheumatism,
lumbago, or neuralgia he should go to
O throat man at stated intervals to have
his tonsil pockets and nose crannies
cleaned out.
CLEAN BATHS-The frequency with
which bath Is required depends upon
the season OF the year. kind Of work
done, and other circumstances and pc
Under some circumstances
the time spent in a daily cleansing both
will not be time wasted. Ones work
can be better done; there viii 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
himself clean as he sees his dead skin
roll up, but 1t 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
mer rashes and bath rashes.
EXERCISE-There are people who
spend an hour or more q day in exer-
cising their muscles. Their bathrooms
are equipped with dumbells and exer-
cisers.
Some 20 to a gymnasium each day
for half hour or longer. A, few spend
enough time at 1t to develop those
great massive, monumental muscles
shown in some advertisements.
On the other hand, we are told by
that muscles may be liabili-
ties; that any muscle tissue In excess
OF that required for the days work IL
useless in the first place and burden
in the second. They say: why carry
around pounds oe unusued lumber; why
feed unused tissue; why spend the
hours q day needed to keep II In condi-
ton; why clog the system WIN ltS
waste; why spend time, energy. money,
in building up a Frankenstein, a
god, when common sense tells
you 1t is an incumbrance that finally
destroys its worshipers? ..t. rs
How much trouble shall mans mus
cles be to him? The muscles make up
three-quarters Of the man. If ii 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 mans welfare than has 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
fourths Of his weight is to lose sight OF
the factors which count
AS a further consideration we unin-
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 Il just as much as the man who
leads a sedentary life. .
When man has spent his day
pounding rivets he needs q chance to
play. The use OF a different set OF
