DIFFER ON VIEWS OF SOAP
Authorities Throughout the Centuries
Have Never Been in Agreement
on the Point.

Here comes a health officer with ad
vice to use soap. He says it does not
injure the complexion, and that it in
creases the general cleanliness of the
race.
On the face of the advice, this health
officer appears to be old-fashioned, re-
marks the Cleveland Plain Dealer
modern exquisites shun the use of soap
except in the bath and for purposes of
removing difficult dirt from the hands.
Soap on a pretty face is almost sacri
lege. Warm water and wash cloths are
relied on to remove all soil from del
icate compilations, without the danger
of soapy alkalies.
But in reality the doctor is new
fashioned For our old heroes and
heroines did not even know the mean
ing of soap. Laura, Berengaria, Rosa
mund and Marguerite lived before
soap was, invented. yet they were
cleanly damsels, inspirations of poets,
wielders Of iron sway over men Of
brains. The ancients-Sappho, AS
pasta, Cornelia and even Poppaea-
never dreamed of such thing as
soap.
On the whole, this health officer
must be classed as a medievalist. He
is neither ancient nor modern. And
there is no likelihood that his ad
vice will have the slightest effect on
the users and nonusers of soap.

SQUIRREL HUNT OF LONG AGO


At the dedication of a monument to
Ludwig Sells and his wife in the Dub
lin cemetery in Franklin county. Ohio,
Rev. Byron r. Long gave an interest
ing account of the great squirrel hunt
of September, 1929, which was said to
dave ended the serious depredations
of the squirrels in the fields of the
farmers there.
The Columbus Gazette of August 20,
1892, referred to the great damage be-
rg done by squirrels and published an
address to the farmers suggesting a
county squirrel hunt. The farmers of
several townships were asked to Sc
lect Representatives to make the ar
rargements.
The preliminary meeting. says the
Columbus Dispatch, was held One of
the delegates from Washington town
ship, in which Dublin is located, was
Peter Sells, son of Ludwig Sells.
The hunt was held and the farmers
turned out in mass, spending two or
three days in slaughtering the squir-
rels. The count as far as made reached
a total of 1880 skins, but as maly of
the hunters failed to report the num-
Der shot by them the total was no
doubt really in excess of that
Still this number, great as 1t was,
would not in itself have had any very
great effect on the damage done by the
squirrels. But the pioneers tell of
great migration by the squirrels fol
lowing the raid.
The little animals moved like ants,
in countless droves, going straight
ahead and turning aside for no OBJ
stacle. They went over precipices and
swan rivers in their persistent course.
They seemed to be in command of
some leader and obeyed without fear
of ordinary enemies.-New York Sun.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.

The house Of representatives has had opportunity
of late hear renewed discussion of the alleged packing

have appeared in legal strength, in Washington. The
Citizen who neither live stock stock in the pack

been made recently without feeling that the beef business
has been fine for the last twenty-five years One SUCH
speech that delivered by Representative Stephens of

The statement amounts to this The cattle growers
and feeders each year finding difficult to get

combined in the purchasing end OF the business Accord
ing to Mr. Stephens who cited the experiences OF big
feeders in Nebraska and elsewhere in the belt there
are only four buyers-the Swift Armour, Cudahy and
Morris these through the agencies OF the
stock yards which, he alleges they own, able to
npulate the market to suit themselves The cattle in
dustry la this country has fallen off in the last ten years
This generally traced to the loss of free grazing lands
But Mr. Stephens has additional explanation. There

who takes the range cattle and attens them for markets
third the packer The packer is at the middeman

the breeders must ship their range stock into of the
