SEA SALT AND OTHER BATHS.

Much has been said of pine needle
baths as strengthening to tired-out
nerves. Baths of this description are
usually given in sanitoriums, but they
can be prepared at home if the resinous
needles and cones can be gathered Un-
less they are fresh and just properly
ripened. the desired effect will not be de-
veloped. A mass of pine needles and
cones is broken into n pail of boiling
water and allowed to steep for half an
hour The infusion Is then strained and
added to the bath.
Baths of this description have found
much favor in Germany, where the treat
ment OF nervous disorders by means of
medicated water cures originated; but
there is no reason why such meas sures.
intelligently carried out, cannot be tried
at home with amazing benefits, too. In
neuralgia and rheumatism, bathing has
been found to equal in efficiency the sooth-
ing action Of a hot bath containing oil
of turpentine and green soap. Immersion
for fifteen minutes in this bath, followed
by a gentle rundown and refreshing
sleep vanquishes all nerve pain and re-
stores the spirit of youth buoyancy!
The habit of promiscuous surf bathing
indulged to great an extent on the
American coast is a very bad one Sea
salt is of great value in many conditions,
and open-air sea bathing is beneficial in
II,
it stimulates the appetite and aids diges-
ton; but when prolonged far beyond the
stage of reaction, IT becomes harmful, as
is proclaimed by the livid faces, blue lips
and shrunken skins so often encountered
among the bathers. Only those in most
vigorous condition should attempt a daily
surf bath, yet one often sees women in
comparatively Indifferent health go into
the ocean several times in a single day;
they may feel no immediate bad effect,
but the practice is a foolish one, and is
severely condemned by hygienists.
Hot sea baths are extremely beneficial
in a great many instances, and one
doesn't have to go to the seaside to get
the advantage of them. because they can
be prepared at home by adding a suf-
ficient quantity of Mediterranean Sea
salt to the ordinary bath. The strength
of the bath depends, of course. upon the
amount of salt used. The contents of
one-half o. the bags in which the salt is
put up is the usual quantity advised. If
soap is desired, remember the marine
soap" mentioned earlier In connection
with soaps.
Although We regard ourselves as hav-
ing reached a high stage of civilization
today, We had much to learn from the
The Washington herald., 1916-07-31

ancient Greeks and Romans in matters
pertaining to the care of the body. The
Romans, especially, were no dilettantes
when it came to bathing. the sumptuous
apartments reserved for this purpose in
the homes Of the wealthy outrivaling
anything attempted along this line by
even our multi-millionaires.
Perfumed bath tablets, perfumed sea
salt and various other delightful aids to
the bath are now procurable and should
be more generally known and used. Bowls
made of sandalwood that hold ones soap,
etc. are allowed to float on the water
thus importing TO it the evanescent fra
GRANGE of the wood: all these charming
toilet accessions are inexpensive and
they cease TO be pure luXuries when their
wonderful power OF restoration is appre-
ciated. The initial cost Of most things
we regard as luxuries, is. as a rule their
only cost, because they are of such quail
ity that they prove themselves "a thing
OF beauty and a Joy forever"

young man and one Of the best
school teachers in the county and
well known by all the teachers

cord they have made. They are
the kind of folks who know no
defeat, acknowledge no superior,
and whose vocabulary contains no
snch word as Can't, Failure"
to them, only means a renewed
determination, with more energy
and more vigorous effort until the
desired result is accomplished.
This loyal band of faithful
workers has gone out from the
halls of Union College,. strong
and steadfast friends of the school
1t is because of their success that
we hope to have fuller attend
ance, and a better school the
coming year.
The prospect is fine; from diff
ferent communities, letters keep
coming, asking for rooms in the
dormitories, until it begins to
look as though our buildings may
not be adequate to accommodate
all who come. Some are renting
rooms in town, where they eX-
pect to do their owe work; while
others are securing board in pri-
vate homes.
The outlook certainly is graft
flying. We are encouraged to be-
lieve that this year will prove to
be one of the very best in the
history of Union College.
If you send your boy or girl to
us, you may rest assured that
you will get value received for
your money. We know the value
of your hard earned dollar, and
we also know the value of your
child's time. We assure you that
folks who waste their time will
not be permitted to remain in
Union College.
The full high school course be-
ginning after Christmas, which
has been arranged especially for
teachers, and others who'-enter
at that time, is proving to be
very popular. We are expecting
a good, large class of beginners
then.

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring
would you run and stop it or
would you go and help put out
the fire? 1t is much the same
with a cough. A cough is a
danger signel as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should
cure the disease that causes the
coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Cham
berlains Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most ben
egcial results. 1t is especially
valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows a bad cold
or an attact of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind
lana, writes: During the win
ter my husband takes cold easily
and coughs and caughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up
these attacks and you cannot get
him to take any other. F" Obtain

Oil Men Getting Busy

lnefe IS some Sure-flulI DlSl-
ness men now starting in the oil
business, and it will not be long
until one can see the return of the
old time drilling. Some of the
men who have been in the bust
ness for the purpose of speculat-
ing have sold to men who will go
right to work, and start opera
ton.
There has been two wells drill
ed in with q nice showing in each;
the one on the S. H. Jones farm
was completed more than a week
ago, and the Company has moved
its machinery to the James X.
Payne farm where there remains
the signs of the fellows who
found oil there in 1901. The well
drilled in on the Bingham farm
has a nice showing, the machin-
cry that was used there has been
moved to the J. j. Pursifield farm
near FlatLick and will start
drilling within a few days.
The Kentucky Oil and Gas Co.
of Stubensville, Ohio, will start
drilling next week on the Dutton
Callebs farm in the northern part
Of the county. They have two
carloads of the machinery there
now, and as soon as the remain
der of the machinery comes they
will be ready to begin, they use
standard tools and could go quite
a depth.
Senator Beatty of Bowling
Green Ohio, has his machinery
on the way and will start to drill
ing within a few days on the
Jarvis heirs farm.
A location has been made on
Indian Creek, and is backed by
a strong company, with j. A.
McDermott, L. w. Farmer and
C. P. Kennedy, at the head Of
the organization, they are real
hustlers with both experience
and money behind them.
There is another company that
means business, made up o. bust
ness men RI Chicago, ILL.,, and of
which DR.. C. P. Struggled,
who has made a success at most
everything that he has under
taken, and Mr.. Wrenn is his man.
ager, he is also a real hustler; and
they have machinery bought and
on the way here to make start.
Mr.. Wrenn has moved into the
palatial home of Alex Sewer, on
College st. and it looks as though
he has come to stay.
So we say that there will be all
kinds of oil business in operation
in this county by the time the
cat bird begins to tell us that
spring has returned.
