GET GREETINGS
FROM LONDON

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, April o.
Trom the final session of the 22Sth an
nual meeting OF the Philadelphia
Friends a call went out yesterday for
every Quaker TO declare indepen-
dence" of alcoholic liquor. A letter
drafted under the instructions OF the
whole meeting. and to be addressed TO
every member OF the sect more than l6
years old, appeals TO each one indi-
vidually to abstain wholly from al
coholic liquors as beverage and
from being responsible in any degree
for such indulgence by others" Along
with the appeal, every member OF the
society will receive a letter inquir-
ing with regard TO his or her use of
liquor.

present time demands OF us a firm op-
position to the liquor traffic. empha-
sized by the practice of total obsti-
nence.
Apart from the facts. admitted by
leading medical authorities in most
lands. regarding the injurious effect
OF alcohol. even in very small guam
titles, upon all living organisms, and
the further fact that il is an in
sidious, habit-forming drug, we feel
that as Christians we ought for the
sake of others TO set an example
that is safe for all We know that al
most every drunkard began his down
ward course by sO-called moderate
drinking.

Extra money Is well spent in GER
tain comforts and conveniences that
make bathing the delight it should be.
one Of these comforts Is a shower at
tachment. once you have learned the
tonic qualities OF a morning shower OF
cool, but not ice-cold water, you miss
this luxury sadly If compelled to do
without It. Next best to the overhead
shower, Is the bath-spray which costs
little more than a dollar and can be
affixed to any ordinary faucet. The
water may be made to spray hot, for

trcmcly difficult to guess" the tenn
peraturc of water. What the hand
can easily endure would be intolcrabIc
to a more sensitive part of the body
1t is dangerous. also, TO have the
morning bath a different temperature
each day. About GO degrees is agree
able to most people when the plunge
bath is taken in a steam-heated bath
room. Water warmer than this lacks
in~vigorating quality, and colder water
when the bath room is very warm may
send one into the shiyers for all day.
The warm bath at night should not be
at a higher temperature than 10 de-
grees. People often accustom them
selves to taking very hot baths at
night but this is not a wise proceed
ing, unless under the advice Of a ply
stefan. Very hot baths, and very cold
baths help to reduce snperfuous flesh,
but the cold bath followed by Il brisk
rubbing with a hesh-brush Is much the
safer and better method.
Still another convenience for the
! bath room is the swing-seat which
may be fastened into the tub so that
| one can sit and bathc the feet when
an entire bath is not desired. Every
well furnished bath room has a low
seat. preferably a white enamel bench
or f~our-leEged stool which may easily
be moved about. Nearby should be a
small stand containing scissors and
other pedicure implements for atten-
ton to the feet after the bath.
Bath-bags are such an addition to
the delight Of bathing that some sim

low. Fill half a dozen cheesecloth
bags, five inches long by three wide,
with ordinary rolled oats, or oatmeal.
A few minutes before you step into
the bath, drop in one of the bags and
presently the water will take on a
milky appearance. Use the bag as
you would a washcIoth and 20 over
face, neck and arms with special care.
| After a week of this the skin will be-

soft to the touch. Make enough bags

and always use Il fresh bag with
every bath, for a used bath-bag is
rather a repulsive looking object. DO
not fill the bag plump-full Of oatmeal,
remember It is to be used as a wash

The cornmeal rub after the bath
Is another luxury-and a splendid
