The Fret War.

The first writing known to scholars
was the account of war waged be-
tween hostile nations in Mesopotamia,
perhaps $500 Il. C.. The first battle
was that between Cain and Abel Ap-
parently men have always been quick
to settle their differences by fighting.
The first warlike king is said to have
been OsymandyaS of Egypt, who pass
ed into Asia and conquered Bactria in
210O B. c. Palamedes Bacgos is
mythically reported to have been the
first who ranged an army in regular
line Of battle. placed sentinels round a
camp and excited the soldiers vigi-
lance by giving him password. This
occurred during the siege of Troy, the
date of which is variOusly estimated at
about $500 years before the Christian
era.-Pittsburgh Press.

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root Of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives Of many, it
constitutes the true source Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away

themselves, and where men are sub

and closing up keep the blood in the
inner parts of the body where It stays
warm. But if the skin Is clogged,
dirty and unhealthy these blood vessels
cannot properly perform their duties
with the result that our bodily heat is
allowed to run down.
But keeping the skin clean does not
mean one piping hot bath week, say
on Saturday night and then not any
attention for another week.
A cool water bath, preferably a
shower, without soap but used every
day even in winter time, will not only
keep the skin cleaner and healthier,
but also more comfortable.
The daily bath without soap cleans
es without taking too much of the ma
tural lubricant out of the skin.
This natural lubricant is the fatty
substance brought up to and spread
upon the surface of the skin by the
sweat glands. The alkali of a strong
soap used with an extremely hot water
removes, or "cuts this oil, leaving the
surface of the skin dry, harsh and off,
en- sensitive.
That is why after an extremely hot
bath and a thoroughly scrubbing the
skin often is irritated by flannels or
underwear. But this condition once or
twice week will do no special harm
to the skin and therefore one is per-
fectly safe in taking hot bath twice
week.
The same care should be exercised
in washing the face. Many women
scrub their face daily with hot water,
flesh brush and soap. They labor und-
err the mistaken idea that this is nee
essary to maintain a good complexion.
They fear that dirt will clog the pores
II they don't scrub 1t out. But you
can't clog these pores with dirt any
more than you could bubble . foun-
