Natives of Japan Take Them Hot ant

Natives of Japan Take Them Hot and
Sleep In the Water.
The number of baths taken daily by
the Japanese at the hot springs and
the length of time they remain In the
water run counter to all western med
zeal opinion regarding the utility Of
hot baths for invalids. Five or six
times day for an hour or longer at a
time would not be considered an IN
common regime.
A smile Of incredulity was raised
some years ago when Professor Cham
berlain told us of tiny spa where the
batherS stayed In the water for q
month or more, with stones on their
laps to prevent them from floating in
their sleep. Yet could name another
remote little spot where a very old man
well advanced in the nineties, In fact
has literally lived in the shallow
warm water Of the spring for years,
his knees and neck supported by a
beam, from early morn till midnight.
The high temperature at which the
baths are taken has excited the wonder
of many travellers. At Kusatsu, for in
stance, that of the chief bath is 1913 de-
grees F., but such temperature neces-
sarily involves special precautions be-
fore entering the bath, with a limit of
from three and one-half to four min
utes' immersion
When We remember that water at
115 degrees f. can just be borne by the
hand, but not by the whole body, 1t Is
possible to realize the agony of afflicted
humanity in the Kusatsu baths. At the
same time the japanese skin cannot be
SO sensitive as that of the European.

Soap an Antiseptic.
Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases In
recent years, are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
terment of conditions not to medical
science, but to the increase use of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with clean
house and clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says:
Soap is now recognized TO be anti
septic and to be etticaciOus must pro
duce Il lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are in
capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by Il > per cent solution III a
short time. More than half the total
number will die in IA minute. The
thorough use of a pure potash soap is
not only Il mechanical method of cleans
ing but is an active favor in cutting
down germ life. Exchange

Beyond the Barrier
~ oRANTLAMD Ric1.

Upon our shield the staining rust
Has gathered deeper than we knew:
Upon our blade the drifting dust
Has limmed and dulled the ancient
hue;
And we have floundered through the
pail
AS children. who have lost their way;
But somewhere, underneath 1t all.
The Vital Spark still waits the day.
The ruggedness OF ancient mould
Is hidden now by softer dreams;
The Drawer line we used to hold
May WAIVER where the red flash
CLEANS:
But when the showdown comes at last
Beyond control of word or pen,
Remembrance of a drawer past
Shall come to wake us up again.
The ancient spirit OF the clan
May shrink. at times, before the call,
Bewildered. In the waiting span,
Before the rousing lash shall fall;
But when the fight flares down the
Beyond doubts final barricade,
The rust shall come from off the
shield
The dust shall flutter from the blade.

Educational Work.

In describing the educational work
of the Girl Scouts, Montague Cannon,
the executive secretary, shows how
the movement has grown in a whole
some and normal way from a small
beginning in Savannah, Ga, in 1912.
to a national organization with troops
in 250 communities. He says, The
Girl Scout program, presenting all of
its activities in group work, pre- eml>
nently fills a distinct need in the
equipment of women for modern life
In its requirements for the three
grades of scouting and for the pro-
ficiency badges the organization is
emphasizing home making occupations
and virtues. Nursing and first aid
occupy a prominent place in the
training
While the Girl Scouts organization
is non sectarian, it is distinctly re-
ligious. Each girl is expected to live
up to the tenets of her particular
church. She cannot be good scout
unless she is faithful to her own re-
ligion.'

NEW CHARGES READY
II Anarchists Furnish Bail They VIII
Be Arrested at Once.

New York, July 22.-Should Alex
ander Berkman, Louis Kramer and
Morris Becker, anarchists convicted of
conspiracy to violate the selective
draft act, be admitted to bail here to-
day, pending the determination of
their appeal allowed by Justice Bran
deis of the United States supreme
court, they probably will be rearrested
on other charges. The three arrived
here yesterday from the federal peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta and spent the
night in the Tombs prison. A number
of anarchists who intended to welcome
them were disappointed when the
prisoners were brought into the city
by a roundabout way.
Berkman, editor and publisher of
the Blast, is under Indictment in con-
nection with the preparedness parade
explosion in San Francisco a year ago
and it was said today that should he
be granted his freedom he would be
Immediately rearrested on the charge
of homicide.
Kramer and Becker are expected
to be rearrested should they furnish
bail for violation of the immigration
laws.
Emma Goldman, who was convicted
at the same time and on the same
charges as Berkman, was expected
to arrive here today from the peni-
Tertiary at jefferson City where she
had begun to serve her sentence 1t
was also said bail would be obtained
for her
