Cold Baths.

Cold baths may or may not agree
wi h you, depending in a measure On
whether or not you take them. In
taking cold baths it is important to
remember that the reaction is the
thing. Your cold bath is a failure if
you don't have reaction. To pro-
duce the proper healthful glow rub
your back vigorously against the
door jam, at the same time applying
briskly to the skin a bit of old mat
ting or a stout whisk-broCm- In pre-
pairing for the cold bath it is well to
arrange within handy reach a bottle
of smelling salts and a pulmotor. The
cold bath is more beneficial if one
can take it without going under an
anesthetic. There is a class of per-
sons who take cold baths in the cold
est weather and nave the poor taste to
tell about it. They like to make it
seem that they are real Chummy with
cold baths They let on as if they
were born taking cold baths. Most of
US hope they will die that way, any
how.

you're often told to perseyere, and
