Recruiting officers OF the Fargo

OF the recent order forbidding part

many men in the draft to enlist in

not needed to I'LL the current quotas
OF their local boards are eligible. All
that is necessary for the applicant

Nowadays everybody who doesn't get
his bath every day has fit. We are
clean of body, but we don't think of scrub
bing out our minds. We have to choose
you know"
1t is a disturbing thought that one can
not have clean mind and n clean body
at the same time. 1t is also a moot point
as TO whether or not Shakespeare ever wrote
a sex play. Measure for Measure" and
"Troilus and Cressida" according to one
Shakespearean authority, indubitably come
under that head and many of the lines In
the better known plays are invariably de-
leted because their rawness would be Of
fensive to the modern audience.
DOCTOR EGBERT'S VIEW
But Or. Seneca Egbert. n member Of the
University of Pennsylvania medical faculty
and the former professor of hygiene at the
Medico-Chirurgical College, issues a sane
rejoinder restoring ones faith in soap and
the daily bath.
II do not think we are a nation of
sybarites," he said, land l doubt--if you'd
get the actual statistics-whether 80 per
cent of the people in Philadelphia take more
than one bath week. l do know however,
that statistics show that there are more
bathtubs here than homes; but great
many persons" he added with a smile
"think Of their tubs as a place to store the
coal or wood or potatoes in rather than as
a place for bathing.
Doctor Walsh's logic is a little loose.
Just as many dirty persons are immoral as
clean ones. And as for Shakespeare $
times, well, sanitary evolution, mercifully,
has carried us way, way on. In those days
there was no sewage, no guarded water
supply, no sanitary facilities in the home,
