A BathIess Age.

When Egypt, Greece and Rome were
at the height of their ancient power tneir
citizens made bathing social function, a
municipal duty and areligious observance.
The public baths of these nations were
magnificent architecturally and important
as centers ofhygienic and municipal Senil-
ment.
With the decadence of these countries
the world seems to have reverted 10 a
period of mental sloth and physical ur-
cleanliness. As an authority on the mai
ter puts it:
"For 600 years there was not a man
or woman in Europe that ever tooka oain'
if the historian OF these times, Micheiet,
is 10 be believed. The ancient love oil
the bath seemed TO have disappeared
from off the land.
"There was no Greece or Rome 10
hold up the ensign OF cleanliness 10 Tue
nations of Europe. Small wonder maj
the people ofthe continent became physl-
cal decadents, as indeed they were IN
spite of tradition TO the contrary.
at is not strange that there came me
awful epidemics that cut offone-fourth OF
the population of Europe-the spotted
plague, the bllck death, the sweating
sickness and the terrible mental epidemicS
that followed in their train-the dancing
mania, the mewing mania and the biting
mania.
''The bath was banished and filth was
almost deifed. Indeed, it was then
thought that the sanctification ofthe body
was only accomplished when that body
was indescribably dirty"
