HOW TO KEEP WELL.
r. Alvin jefferson M. D.

Upon taking up the important struc-
lures of the body, we find from an en-
theological point of view that inc
skin or epiderms is first in origin.
What is the skin? The skin is al
outer covering of the body. 1t is
composed Of two distinct parts, the
epiderrnis and dermis. The epidermls,
under the microscope, is seen to be
composed of five microscopic layers,
while the dermis of true skin is made
up of two distinct microscopic layers.
The coloring matter of the skin,
known as pigment, does not lie in the
true skin but in the Malpighian layer
of the epidermis. The color of the hu'
man skin has always held an import
ant place among ethnologists. This
we will enlarge upon later.
Among the uses of the skin are,
firstly, it protects the delicate struc-
lures beneath from exposure and If
ritation. secondly, it regulates the
temperature of the body; thirdly, 1T
acts as a respiratory organ, and,
fourthly, it acts as tactic and SEN
sorry organ. The skin manufactures
some of the most important members
of the body. From it we get the eyes,
the smelling areas of the rose, the
hair nails teeth and also the brain
and nervous system. From 1T the f1sh
gets it's scales, the lower ANIMALS their
hoofs and coats Of fur, the fowls their
claws and, feathers. Therefore the
skin occupies very important posi-
ton in the economy of all organisms.
Without it the clothes we wear would
become unbearable and even the kind
Nv touch of our loved ones would be
unwelcone.
The skin in it's normal condition IS
busily engaged in assisting a large
number of the organs of the body in
doing their work. 1t helps the lungs
to breathe, the kidneys to purify the
blood, the heart in the distribution of
the blood through all parts of the
body.
Since the skin occupies such valu-
able place in our economy, it is very
essential that we strive to keep it in
a healthy state, by washing, bathing,
rubbing and kneading it. In other
words, keep it clean. "Cleanliness is
akin to goodness, therefore soap must
be the means Of grace"
1t has been said that man lost his
hairy coat so that he might be the
better able to wash himself and there
fore keep himself clean. Judging by
the odor of some people we have not
all lost our hairy coat.
Some animals battle themselves by
licking their bodies, some by rubbing
and others by taking an occasional
swim. The habit Of taking dry baths
is not to be encouraged. We mean
by this that some people through
haste do not wash their bodies as we'll
as they should with good soap and
plenty of water, but they use talcum
dusting powder and other perfumery
to take the place of good bathing.
Embedded in the meshes of the
flesh just beneath the skin are mil
lions of natural oil wells which have
their openings through the skin. These
minute openings are called pores.
Large quantities of perspiration, oily
substances and poisonous material are
being excreted through these open
