Bathing also has an lmpor-
tant Influence upon the heat
regulating machinery Of the
skin.
Warm baths increase the size OF
the blood vessels in the skin and
draw the blood from the brain,
making one feel comfortably
sleepy This is why warm bath
Is best taken at bedtime.
A cold bath, on the other hand,
contracts the skin blood vessels,
and. by driving the blood to the
brain. makes ono feel keen and
alert. Cold bathing is a powerful
tonic TO the skin, since It trains
the blood vessels TO respond quick
ly TO changes i'm temperatures.
People who can stand cold baths
regularly are likely to be harder
and much less subject TO colds than
others
In the matter OF bathing, how.
ever, Il must be remembered that
the body should be stimulated by
cold, but not chilled too much. A
cold bath should be followed by n
reaction. the blood vessels of the
skin enlarging again and the skin
becoming warm and glowing.
Brisk rubbing with n towel helps
to secure this reaction. If no reac
tion follows, the bath was too cold
or too prolonged.

DISEASED CATTLE COMING
 INTO CONNECTICUT
Dairy Commissioner Says Railroads Are lax-25 Per Cent. of Cattle Diseased

Dairy Commissioner J. O.. Phelps said Tuesday, that his department had experienced some difficulty in the en- forcement of the regulations in effect since last October. to prevent the i'm portation of diseased cattle into the state, from the fact that the railroad companies did not always keep an ex- act account of the number of cattle in care that came from another state. He was making arrangements with the companies by which, in the future, their books would show the precise number of animals in a car. He said the successful prosecution of the case in the Wallingford court, Monday, gave him satisfaction.
 The commissioner and his deputy, Dr. F. A. Ingram, have reason to think there are others than the man prosecuted in Wallingford. who ig- nore the requirements of the regula- tions governing the importation of cattle and it would be their aim to se- cure evidence to sustain @ prosecu- tion in every case.
 Twenty-Five per cent. of the cattle in the state are diseased,' said Dr. Ingram, the deputy commissioner.
 Dr. Ingram said the condition was due in a great measure to the inn portation of unhealthy cattle into Con- necticut
