MOST REFRESHING OF BATHS
Salt Rub lnvigorates the Body and Is
Invaluable for Clearing the
Complexion.

Various sanatoriums and private
hospitals are using the salt rub, and
it is becoming so popular that some
Turkish bath establishments are ad
vertising it as a special attraction. 1t
is just as good for welf persons as sick
ones, is the most refreshing of all
baths and rubs ever invented, only ex
cepting dip in the sea, and is match
less IN it's effect upon the skin and
complexion
With all these virtues it is the sim
plest and most easily managed of all
SIMILAR measures, and can be taken at
home easily
Put few pounds of coarse sAlt-the
coarsest you can get sea salt by
preference--in an earthen jar, and
pour enough water on it to produce a
sort Of slush, but not enough TO dis.
solve tie salt. This should then be
taken W in handfuls and rubbed
briskly over the entire person, but any
one in ordinary health can do it for
himself very satisfactorily.
This being done the next thing is a
thorough douching of clear water, pre-
ferably cold, and brisk rubbing with
dry towel The effect of citation,
freshness and renewed life is imne-
diately felt, and the satiny texture of
the skin and increased .clearness and
brightness of the complexion swell the
testimony in favor of the salt rub.

Antioch Once Prosperous.

Among the sacred cities of the East,
Antioch holds high place, for 1t was
here that the first Christian church
was founded; 1t was, moreover, the
center from which ST. Paul conducted
his missionary campaigns to convert
the Gentiles. In those days Antioch
was a prosperous and thriving city,
boasting of population of half mil
lion souls, while splendid Roman pal
aces and, villas dotted the banks of
the river Orontes, which flows through
the town. Today, remarks the Wide
World, it is sleepy, old-world place,
occupying scarcely one-tenth of its an
cient area, and certainly possessing
none of its former glory. Neverthe-
less, it is in many ways delightfully."-
quaint and picturesque eastern city,
with narrow, tortuous streets, every
other house in which appears to pos
sess an architectural style of its own.
One can well spend about three or
four days wandering about this inter
esting old town, visiting its primitive
market place and inspecting its ruins,
walls, gates. and ancient monasteries.
