VAPOR BATHS IN LAPLAND
Writer'S Strenuous Experience Of

Being Bastinadoed-

Ter describes vapor bath In the land
of the Laps. He says:
The bathhouse is a small wooden
structure generally situated some way
from the dwelling house. 1t is divided
into two compartments. one to undresS
in, while the other contains the oven
which produces the steam. The oven
is arched with large stones or pebbles,
and heated by a fire placed beneath.
Undressing in the first room, one en-
tiers the heated compartment. After a
short rest on a wooden form or bench,
which contains a place for the head,
the attendants come in and battle you.
Cold water is thrown over the stones
and the kissing vapor soon sends up
n cloud of steam. The higher you sit
from the floor the greater the heat. AS
more water is thrown over the red-hot
stones the vapor becomes so intense
that one can hardly breathe. We were
soon gasping for breath and covered
with a profuse perspiration which IS
sued from every pore Of the skin.
Hanging up in the room were tender
branches or twigs in green state and
retaining their leaves. Dipping these
in water, the attendant began flashing
and whipping me across the legs,
shoulders, loins and back, till my body
seemed quite red with the switching.

Your Mental Attic.

We are living in new age We use
the materials grown in the past for
the erection OF present structures, OBJ
serves a writer. But the method OF
building changes with the age. In
stead OF the old lumber, men use iron
and steel. Instead OF crumbling bricks
and uncertain firing. they use cement
and stone. To build for the future
you must use the best that science ap-
proves. You win need your attic for
new tools and new storage. And TO be
modern the storage must be temper
airy. Long holdings are Improbable.
The oftener you can turn your posses
Sions the better the income. Your,
mental attic follows the same rule.

Cotton

The cotton market was very quiet
yesterday, but still seemed to feel the
influence Of crop deterioration reports
from Texas and closed irm at net
advance of 10 to 32 points. The market
was irregular during the early trading
and narrow enough during the entire
day to be influenced by comparatively
small orders. 1t was understood around
the ring that the propo sltion of the
National Cotton Manufacturers Asso-
citation to establish chain of cotton
warehouses in the South, financed
partly by the government. was being
discussed by banking and trade inter
csts. There were also reports Mat
officials and experts in the Department
Of Labor and Agriculture were leaving
Washington for Birmingham, Ala, TO
attend a conference of cotton growers
tc arrange plan FOR garnering
the crop. According to these ad-
vices it is believed that labor sufficient
to insure the safety of the crop will
be found.N Developments along these

The market opened steady at a de-

ally to 8 points higher. There were
reactions during the middle of the day,
but prices frmed up again in the late
trading, with October relatively firm.
