VALUE OF BATHING.

@ Authorities may vary in discussing
 the merits of the hot bath, the tepid
 bath and the cold bath, but they all
 agree in the abstract that bathing is
 necessary to good health and a prime
 promoter of self-respect. The re-
 moval from the skin of the accumula-
 tion of refuse matter is the primary
 reason for the bath.
 It is essential to good health that
 the skin be kept in proper condition,
 as it automatically regulates the heat
 of the body. permitting it to cool off
 when it becomes too warm and keep
 ing heat in when it becomes too cold.
 It assists the lungs and kidneys in the disposal of refuse matter. When the
 skin sweats it assists the kidneys. When not too heavily clothed it re-
 spires and helps the lungs.
 A bath should not be taken too near mealttme. There is a normal attrac- tion of the blood toward the stomach after eating and any interference with this and the attraction of the blood toward the surface of the body is apt to arrest digestion
 Warm baths have a soothing effect and often are prescribed for nervous ness. The tepid bath can do no harm. Cold baths are stimulating, but are apt to be injurious if the heart action is not strong enough to permit of ready reaction. To some individuals the shock to the nervous system is so great that they cannot accustom themselves to cold baths,

lies in these two instances. it is diff
 acult to believe that they will permit such thing if it is possible to pre- vent it.
 The situation in Rumania is much complicated by the character of the resistance which Rumania is offering Sn the two tEonts. It appears to be devoting its greatest energies to the blocking of the army under General Falkenhayn, and in such operations it is arousing the chief hope that it can, with the assistance which is being sent it from Russia and the other al- lies, stem the tide. But there IS se- rious menace which cannot be over- looked in that army under General Mackensen. That has won the terri tory which was gained by Rumania for it's silence during the Balkan war. Whether its purpose is now to strike at the Russian province of Bessarab1a which lies next to Rumania, thus leay- ing it to General Falkenhayn to cap ture Bucharest remains to be seen, but all indications point to that view and thus far Rumania is devoting its energies to warding off the latter. King F'erdinand's troops are making a gallant resistance against this latter danger and at all but one point are meeting with success in offensive operations, but in view of the enemy at the back door its position still re- mains precarious.

Russia's Arctic Ports,-T

RuSSla'S Arctic PortS.-Ihe recent activity of German submarines in waters to the north of Norway revives interest in Russia's Arctic and White Sea ports, all save one of which will within a few weeks be closed to navi- gation until late next spring when the ice blockade will be broken once more by that brief but most welcome vis- itor to North Russia, the warm sum mer sum-" says war geography bull letin of the National Geographic So- ciety in describing two of the Euro pean ports through which, ill addition to the White Sea metropolis of Arch angel, the Czsr's kingdom maintains communication with the outside world in spite of the war-bound Baltic and the impenetrable Dardanelles.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Sienificant Punch.

MT. Editor: One of the most signifi- cant punches the liquor traffic has re- ceived in many a day was given it Oct. 24th, when for the first time in the history of the church a stand on the liquor traffic was taken in the Protest ant Episcopal general convention in session at St. Louis The house of deputies is reported to have placed the church on record as favoring such action in our legislative assemblies as will preserve the interests of temper ance and the repression of the liquor traffic" Later the subject was intro duced for the second time in the house of deputies when Rev. G. L. Tucker of Houma, La, introduced a resolu- ton appealing to "all of the people of the church to set the example of self control and temperance by abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors as beverage, especially at public affairs and social gatherings"
 It Is significant because of all the churches none has been more con serVative on this question than the Protestant Episcopal church. The fact that at last this evil has been recog- nized and discussed in this great gen. eral convention is proof of how seri- ous a menace to the welfare of every community the liquor traffic has be- come.
 If the church membership of more than 1,0S0,000 and 5.700 clergymen followed the appeal of Rev. G. l.. Tucker the liquor traffic would receive
 The great prerogative of all churches is to create public sentiment for righteous living. The slogan of today is efficiency. It has been emphasized in all the countries where this wicked war rages by ban placed upon alco-

PROTECTION OF AMERICAN IN.
 DUSTRIES

In this campaign much is being heard from those of the democratic party who are saying thank God for Wilson Tor keeping us out of war and in another breath they are pointing to the prosperity which is being enjoyed by this nation, without giving consid- eration to the fact that it is the results of the very same kind of a conflict for which they are thankful that they have been saved that they are point ing to with credit.
 The prosperity which prevails in this country is due solely to the war across the water. We are benefiting from the unfortunate condition which ex- ists in Europe. Our exports in Sep- temper reached the unprecedented to- tai of S51O,00O,0OO. That gave us a trade balance in our favor for the month of $34S,0O0,O00 or $2OO, ,O9O, 900 more than year ago during the same month. When the war broke out we were in debt to Europe Today our foreign loans aggregate S1,665, ,OOO, 900 and we have become a credit nation.
 This is Attributable to nothing that the present administration has done but to our ability to supply the war needs of Europe which those coun- tries could not supply themselves. When the war stops this trade stops with it and if we are going to be able to stop the efforts which will then be made by those nations to regain the position which they formerly held, we must make it sure that we have those principles in force at Washington that will protect American industry and that can only be assured by the cleo ton of Charles E. Hughes.

Hughes Is Not For War.

Following the lead of the president, the same papers that a little while ago were calling Hughes the kaisers cand- idate are now asserting that his cleo tion would mean war with Germany. In the face of his detailed treatment of the Mexican situation, they also charge that he would use the force of the United States in the words of the president, ito produce in Mexico the kind of law and order which some investors in Mexico consider most to their advantage." Both charges are not merely baseless, but wilfully and maliciously false. There is not a shred of evidence in anything that Hughes has said or done in all his life to support either of these charges. He stands before all the world as a brave, resollte, fair-minded American, unswervirg and unstampedable, who would follow the usages of nations and not essay such fantastic experiments as have made matters in Mexico go meddling and vaciiiation and his aban- donment of the first duty Of the na- tion, which is insistence on the pro- it's citizens, guaranteed by treaties to that Hughes has condemned. He would not deny Che Mexicans their right of revolution" by which the president sets such store, but he would insist that in the exercise of that right they refrain from roibbing, killing and raping law-abiding Americans Firm insistence on this would bring results, without any war-7St. Louis Globe Democrat

THE ALLIES AND GREECE,

It has taken many months to do it, but if there has been reached the un- derstanding, which it has been re- ported from Athens was agreed to at the conference of the representatives of Greece and the entente powers, the way is cleared for the ending of the difficulties which have been caused by the attitude of King Constantine.
 According to the terms of the un- derstanding Greece agrees to comply with the demands of Admiral Fournet. to maintain order in Athens and Pi- raeus, to guarantee constitutional lib critics to Greeks and to set up no op- position to the recruiting for the Venizelos movement
 This does not throw Greece into the war but it means progress towards that end, for as the Forward, a roy alist organ says, it has opened the way to larger understanding be- tween the powers and Greece
 Such an agreement having been concluded nothing should stand in the way of the powers opening up the off, fensive from Saloniki which has been in preparation since the withdrawal from Gallipoli. That has been delay ed, not because Greece had not joined the allies. but because Greece was maintaining neutrality under the guidance of their king which display ed too much German sympathy, and which was looked upon as a danger to the operations of the allies. This being cleared up. with the probability that Greece will join the entente, it leaves nothing to prevent the allies from going ahead. and a strong of fensive from that point now would be of inestimable value to Rumania.

A BEDROOM LIBRARY.

Every one has favorites-favorite colors, favorite songs, favorite places, favorite books, although, unfortunately advantage is not given to all to in dulge in them. But books all can en- joy, and even tke modern business man and woman, whose excuse for reading so little is that they have no time, can secure for themselves at least thirty minutes of quiet, beneficial reading by establishing bedroom library" Bring the few favorite books that one fancies to the bedroom and there enthrone them in a place of prominence and honor. As man or woman-is known by the company he keeps, according to the old prob erb, so is he known by the books he reads, and the better the booys the more conspicuous a position should they enjoy. But lest this plan should make the room disorderly or untidy, a hanging bookcase has been devised which forms safe shelter for one's printed companions and an ornament to the wall. Let it be made of wood similar to the bedroom set and sus- pended from an ordinary support or a picture molding if the room is fortu- nate enough to possess one Two shelves would be easily sufficient for ordinary use, and it will be found that this method is both convenient and ornamental.

the perpendicular cliffs. The harbor is
 a little more than a mile long and from 400 to 500 feet wide, with from 10 to Is fathoms of water. The great est drawback to it's development is the fact that the cliffs come to the waters S very edge, and practically no room is left for the construction of warehouses. '~The village of Rem, 180 miles west of Archangel, has 2,000 Esople, most
 of whom are engaged in fishing for herring, salmon and navago. The shoals of herring in this portion of the White Sea ofter are so great that fishermen allow their oars to rest on the congested masses. Tea ariN ual catch in five villages of this section amounts to 15,G00,000 herring, and the
 average price for the fish, before they
 are smoked or salted, is from 25 cents
 to 75 cents a thousand. The navago is
 a species of fish which is not shipped
 but is consumed by the villagers. It is so easily caught that this part of
 the fishing industry is given over to the children who use bait tied to a
 string, without hooks. The baited line is dropped through g. hole in the ice and it is seized immediately by the ravenous navago. Frequently more , than one fish makes a strike for the
 same bait and the disappointed one seizes the tail of the successful victim
 as it is being drawn to the surface. Thus two fish are landed at the same
 time. Each bit of bait is used many times
 "The season for the salmon catch is
 from May to November. and the price
 for this species is 70 cents per hundred pounds.
 Several varieties of fish wfGch are
 not considered edible by the inhafbi- tants are caught in great quantities, dried in the sun, and used :.s rorage for cattle during the winter months. 'In this seemingly primitive region the sawmills which dot the shores are
 practically all lighted by electricity.
 These mills, which furnish the timber
 for the shfpbuilding operations of the
 long winter months. when fishing is
 impossible, have 1,000, ,000 acres of forest from which to secure LAv-r logs
 ''One of the oldest customs of this
 region is the manner In which the
 natives have trained wild ducks to
 play the role of the American hen. The nests are robbed regularly for food
 and, according to 9 governor of the province, the older birds become so &C.,
 customed to this that if, by natives oversight, one of the eggs is left be- hind and eventually matches the un- welcome duckling is dragged from the
