BATHTUBS

Adam Thompson, of Cincinnati
was the first man in the United
States to use a bathtub,
This was December 20, 1912.
The installation of the bathtub In
Mr.. Thompson's home, and the actual
use of it for winter bathing, caused
widespread publicity, and the news
papers devoted their columns to vio'
lent discussion of it.
Certain patriots stated that this
type of bathing was degenerate lux
urv, designed to corrupt the demo
cratic simplicity of the republic. The
medical fraternity denounced 1t as
dangerous to the health, and bound
to result in phtisis, rheumatic few
ers. inflammation Of the lungs, and the
whole category of zymotic diseases.
Legislation reflected the public
| feeling.

House in 1851.

Take word Of two Of kindness,
Season we'll with some good deed
Add a charity Of plenty,
And of hope a generous need;
And if you will mold them rightly
Which may be no easy things,
You will find you have dainty
Fit to serve to any king.
Take a trimming pint of patience,
And of faith an equal share
Stir them thoroughly together
In the crystal bowl Of prayer;
Mix with these cup Of wisdom,
And a dash of self-control,
And It's yours to quench the craving

And some day you may be able
To supply, with gentle art,
All the bread that is required
