TAKE BATH WITHOUT WATER
Navajo Indians, Through Necessity,
Have Adopted Unique Plan for
Bodily Cleanliness.

bodily cleanliness; and real bath in

west realize that thorough cleansing
of the body is necessary, and have in
vented a method of accomplishing
that enc that is well adapted to the
land of thirst In which they dwell
This is the sweat bath.
A miniature hogan is built of sticks
of wood, and banked up with earth un.
til it is air-tight. with the exception OF
an opening large enough to admit the
body. A fire is built outside, in which
large stones are heated red hot. Then
these are placed in the sweat house
in a position in which the "bather
will be unlikely to come in contact
with them. Then the candidate for a
bath crawls in. keeping his head in the
open air. One or more heavy blankets
are placed over he opening and tight
ly around the neck of the occupant OF
the sweat house, to prevent the escape
of the heated air. The Indians remain
in the sweat house for several hours
perspiring with incredible freedom
When they emerge they dry them
selves by rubbing with the hot sand Of
the desert. AS cleansing agent, the
sweat bath would be hard to beat al
though 1t is rather heroic substitute
for the tub bath of civilization. Never

promotes circulation, and has much te
recommend it in preference to tn,
practise OF the members of some
other tribes, OF never taking a bath al

The rainstorm of Sunday was well
coined By visitors along the shore, as
il was the first of any account in
eighty-Gve days. The woods to the
west of the resorts in this section were
like tinder, and several fires that
started were brought under control
with great difficulty. The rain had the
desired effect of giving the uplands a
good soaking. and all danger Of a con-
fagration from this source is dispelled.
During the storm the sea was unusual

north ead Of the boardwalk here, but
no damage was done.
