A great deal has been written
about the Importance Of bodily
cleanliness in maintaining physical
health. Attention Is drawn far less
frequently to the equal importance
Of keeping the body clean for the
sake Of preserving the mental vigor.
Most people are prone to forget
the intimate relation between mind
and body. They talk as II the two
were absolutely distinct entities.
Whereas the fact is that the mind
Is so closely linked with the body
that--in this world. at all events
its ability TO give expression to
thought and desire is largely con-
ditioned by the state Of the bodily
health.
In especial II 10 conditioned by
the health Of the brain, that mys.
FERROUS mass Of tissue located In
the skull. To keep the brain
healthy 1t must be fed by a supply
OF blood rich in nourishment and
free from any substances that
might irritate or poison it.
Such substances are continually
finding their way into the body, with
the air we breathe and the food we
eat. Also they are manufactured
within the body itself. as waste
products of digestion and other In
ternal processes. But nature has
provided various means for their
elimination. One such means, and
an important one, Is provided in
the pores of the skin.
Through these Is exuded, In the
form Of sweat. a great deal OF mat
ter that would directly or indirect
" be injurious to the health Of the
brain. Obviously. II anything clogs
the skins pores to retard the flow
OF sweat the efficiency Of the brain
as the organ OF the mind will be
more or less lowered.
Hence the importance Of bodily
cleanliness as an aid TO virility Of
mind.
The rule should be-Use plenty
of soap, and take bath once every
day II possible. in addition to neces-
sary washing of the hands and face
during the day.
Daily bathing also benefits the
mind by promoting the circulation
OF the blood. For this reason It In
particularly desirable to use the
towel vigorously following the bath.
As to the temperature Of the wa
ter In which one bathes. personal
idiosyncrasies must largely govern.
Extremes OF heat and cold. however.
should usually be avoided, though
some people seem TO be greatly
benefited by a plunge into an ex.
ceedingly cold bath every morning.
On the other hand. Lathing In wa
ter that is uncomfortably hot In
never to be recommended. II may
clean the body. but IL weakens II.

their wishes known in bodies or singly,

Our Tremendous
Waste of Energy

With reference to the immense
loss in wealth occasioned by the
war. Theodore III. Price. in the No
vomber Worlds Work. says:
There Is hardly man who
works up to the limit OF his capac-
ity. There are millions who try to
DO as little work as possible. The
waste even In the most scientifically
conducted industries Is enormous.
and there Is an immense amount OF
energy generated that is not utilized
at all.
'It has been jokingly said that
the collective energy OF the baby's
cry would run the railroads OF New
York state IL IL could be conserved
and when We consider that only Is
per cent OF the energy OF coal Is
utilized, that the embarrassed wa
terpower OF the United States rep.
resents millions of horsepower go.
Ing to waste. and that probably less
than i've per cent OF the available
human energy In the world Is pro-
dlctively employed. we must admit
that a very slight increase In indus
try or efficiency will recover an
enormous loss of wealth"

TeutOnic Alertness Scores
Again i'm the Balkans

Little Serbia, who stood her ground so
valiantly, has become a pathway for
Germany's great march to the sea, via
Constantinople. Germany and Bulgaria
have joined hands and may soon obtain
all the supplies they may need through
the Mediterranean Sea.
The English blockade would thus be-
come practically useless, which should
help to bring to an amicable settlement
the present little dispute the United
States is having with that country.
Three thousand Serbs have been taken
prisoners, having been almost wholly
ignored by the allies. Though England
has stated number of times that Ser
bia would have all the assistance needed,
the assistance was not Forthcoming, the
Anglo French army ID now embarking at
Salonika and, 1t il expected, will attack
the railroad through Serbia, Bulgaria
and Turkey, a distance Of $50 miles.
Though the forces of the allies will
seek to stop the Teutonic forces from
gaining the vantage ground of the Bos-
phorus, the Bulgarians are so disposed
that the Serbians are practically hem
med in; Turks are guarding the Bull
garian Black sea; and the points where
Russia is likely to attack are covered and
the ports are heavily mined.
It would seem that this is the most
important victory for the Teutons that
has been achieved. Let them beat the
combined forces now, and it gives them
access to the markets of the Mediter-
ranean.

The Defeat Of Non
Partisanship in California
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crsne)

An interesting election was held In
the state Of California on the 26th Of
October.
1t was devoted exclusively to abstract
questions. Men were not voted upon.
As q result the vote was very light,
The main question, the one which
extension of non-partisanship.
Already California laws prohibit the
party system in elections in cities and
counties and in the voting for judicial
lid school officials.
The recent proposition was, to use the
language Of Governor johnson, Ito add
but seven state and four district officials
and the legislature to the thousands Of
officials already non-partisan; and as
these state officials and the legislature
neither act upon national policies. nor
divide upon naional political lines, they
can render the best and most efficient
public service to the state programme
to which no one could object who desired
competency and efficiency in state SER
vice more than he wished to keep up the
party to which he belonged.
The measure was decisively defeated.
The party machines were too strong, and
as vote getters they outclassed the re-
formers.
The net effect of the agitation. how
ever, will be good. It takes a long time
to work a new idea into the convictions
of the people.
Slavery was strenuously defended for
years before the country declared against
lit. Capital punishment is still favored in
many localities. And woman suffrage
was voted down in New Jersey. New
York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts,.
1t took q long, long campaign to clip
the power of the English House Of Lords,
and a considerable majority Of the people,
in America as well as in Europe, still
think that the only way to keep the
peace internationally is to make ready to
butcher a thousand or million men with
flags flying and drums beating.
But common sense has its way after
while. Loot, graft, pillage, special privi-
and all the forces of negation are vigor-
Gus fighters. They retreat only after do
ing all the damage they can. But in the
end they do retreat.
And one Of the prime evils Of de-
mocracy is the party system. 1t is an
ingenious flank movement Of tyranny
and the undying lust for public emolu-
ments to grab the profits of popular rule.
The party nullifies the very purpose OF
democracy.
It's whole path is marked by bossism,
chicanery, fraud, and treachery.
Some day or other the citizens must
devise way to eliminate the political
party. with its cohesive power to public
plumber" its irresponsible leaders, and
its debasing effect upon the popular
mind, or democracy will sink into pit
hardly less deep than monarchy and
government by hereditary pinheads.
That day seems long way of, when
California, the most progressive state IN
the Union, turns down the proposal to
elect on a non-partisan basis officials
who by no stretch of imagination can be
supposed to have any relation to the ma
tional parties nor their issues.

overwhelming majority Of earth's in

Also Il should be added that
there il such . thing as bathing too
much. On this point the advice of
that eminent authority on personal
hyEiene, Dr. James J. walsh, may
well be quoted:
Enough bathing for thorough
cleanliness. but not for luxury, must
be the rule for people who have ac-
tive work and want to retain their
health.
often excessive bathing Is the
main reason for the relaxation Of
muscle tissue and the sense OF pros
tration which many persons expert

strained from washing themselves
over-frequently."

watchword.

T. st. John Gaffney has been dis.

for his resignation was sent by tele.

explanation or given a chance to an

the British government, claiming that
he was guilty of un-neutral utterances.
Gaffney is an Irishman. He was born
in Ireland and, as he states himself,
the efforts of the British press to in.
volve him in difficulties were due en-
tirely to the fact that he was an Irish.

for taking care of subscriptions, and
other blanks for your convenience in
handling votes. If you cannot call, a
representative will be sent you and
explain the proposition in detail.
THE THIRD THING TO DO.
AS soon as you have been supplied
with blanks and information, get out
among your friends. Get them to save
the coupon from the paper for you and
get them to advance their subscrip-
tions (if they are now subscribers) or
to start a subscription If they are not
subscribers, by giving you the cash to
pay the length of time they wish to
subscribe for. You can give them a
receipt from your receipt book and
bring or send the subscription and
cash to the Grand Prize Distribution
Department of The Irish Standard,
422-30 LIST Ave. NJ, and receive the
votes to which you are entitled.
THE FOURTH THING TO DO.
AS soon as you have secured one
subscription, go after another; the
friend who just gave you one can give
you the name of a friend, and he in
turn can name a friend. You are to

When confronted with the evidence of
his birth and having knowledge of
the history of Ireland and its treat
ment at the hands of Great Britain it
was considered dangerous to have him
remain in the consular service Of
America, so far as Great Britain was
concerned. The situation to which the
State Department has now been re-
duced means that hereafter In appoint

of the State Department to European
countries their names must first be
submitted to the government of Great
Britain, which has the power to exer-
