Il HOMILT ON BATHS

PHYSICAL unclean1iness is no longer
a synonym for sainthood. We must
take our baths and change our linen
to prove our spiritual purity. And
were the whole world. to eschew soap
and water entirely we should soon go
back to the savage state, for the first
progress toS ard civilization was prob
ably made by the wild man when he
went to the brook to wash his face.
Plain water or hot water and a good
brand of soap are the proper mediums
for the daily bath, but where means
are equal to the little extra expenditure
the girl can have her beauty baths,
tonic baths and perfumed baths. A de-
HciOus and refreshing tub is made by
emptying two tab1espoonfuls of violet
ammonia in a tubful of warm water.
Baths treated to oatmeal and orris
powder are softening and whitening to
the skin; sea salt baths will be found
strengthening, and soda ones very
cleansing. The oatmeal and orris-
three parts of the first to one of the
last-are served up loosely in a. cheese
cloth bag, which is then agitated in the
bath water until it is milky.
An oatmeal bath mixture of especial
value includes soap and almond meal,
and, besides irnparting the usual deli
cate fragrance to the skin, this is very
cleansing. Make the bags about four
inches square and fill them very loose
ly, using one or two each time, as is
liked. The proportions for the mixture
are as follows: Oatmeal, five pounds;
powdered orris root one pound; aim
ond meal, one pound; old CASTLE soap
(scraped to a powder), one-half pound.

American girls had proved them

nurses of the Red Cross in this coun-

have been seen, enduring hardship and
privation, loss of rest and at times in

uncomplainingly ministering to the I'M
fortunate. At Johnstown, at Chats
worth, at Galveston, at F'risco-at every
place where the hand of providence has
been laid heavily down, and at many
places where it fell more lightly, but
still with crushing force, the Uniform

within a year. So, naturally. many ap-
plications for appropriations of pub

1t requires man of nerve to stand
between the people and the public
treasury and it is essential to get
such a man for the county commits
sionership in order to have an effici-
ent, economical administration of
public business. Mr. Hodgin, we be-
lieve, has the nerve to fill the place
in this manner and will guard the
public funds as he would his own
money. He will regard his part in
the administration of public affairs
as sacredly as he would his own
business and may be depended upon
to give it the most careful and con
scieltious attention. The county COM
commissioners have the handling ev.
cry year of more than two hundred
thousand dollars and II is very neces-
sary that its members should be good
business mer, having practical
knowledge of public affairs and a
greater or less familiarity with the
special demands of the office. Mr..
Hodgin possesses these requisites.
and. If elected. will not be found
wanting in these qualities and charac

Those who know Mr.. Hodgin are
convinced that no mistake was made
in nominating him for county commits

taxpayer and property owner in an
efficient, economical administration
of public business. He is energetic.
honest, faithful and competent, essen
tials to be taken into public office.
If Mr.. Hodgin is successful at the
polls next month he will give to the
county commissionership the very
best service that is in him.

G. VERNON HODGIN MAKES
A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR {.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER

G. Vernon Hodgin. whom the Re.
publicans of Fremont county desig.
mated at the assembly held in this
city on August 5th, to be their choice
for county commissioner from the
first district, and whose nomination
for that office was ratified and con-
firmed by unanimous party vote at
the primaries in September, is
strong candidate, and, if elected, will
make a splendid official for the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Hodgin came to Canon City
seventeen years ago from Indiana to
make his home and has ever since
been prominently identified with the
commercial welfare of the community
He engaged in the real estate busi-
ness soon after his arrival here and
has continued in it to this time; his
devotion to its interests and his
straightforward method of dealing
with his fellows earning for him a
deserved success. Mr.. Hodgin is pub
lic-spirited and has at all times TAX
en- a keen concern in the town and
county in which he lives. He was
a member of the Canon City Mer--
chants association and when that or
ganization was merged into the cham
Der of commerce, because of the
wider scope of the latter and its
greater opportunities for usefulness,
he entered heartily into its work.
He has been president of the
chamber of commerce and is always
ready to contribute his share, wheth-
er of labor or of money, to the con-
summation of its enterprises. Mr..
Hodgin is an enthusiastic advocate

the best assets the county could
have and would contribute more than
anything else TO the value of proper

and prosperity.
