There is a natural tendency Tor every
individual to have an odor when per
spiring freely. The parts OF the body
that have this peculiar odor are the
hair. the axillae or under the arms, the
groins or between the thighs, and the
feet To control this odor frequent
bathing is necessary. The habituaI
use OF various talCum powders, toilet
waters, and perfumes is unhealthy
when applied to an unclean body.
There are some individuals, who in
spite OF frequent bathing possess a pc
culiar odor. For these persons J
would recommend the following solu-
ton to be used after bathing. A 25
per cent solution of aluminium chlorid
in distilled water, dabbed gently on the
part every second or third day and al
lowed to dry, will cause a rapid anne
lioration OF the excessive sweating.
Three applications are usually suffici-
ent. If the condition recurs, the treat
ment may be repeated. If this above
solution which your druggist can
make up causes an itching, cold
cream. containing II percent boric acid
applied to the parts will relieve the
condition.
Sweating feet, another annoying hot
weather condition. is often relieved by
rubbing the feet with pure glycerine.
Following are a few formulas which
can be busted upon the feet after bath
ing to relieve sweating feet.
W
Salicylic acid, one part.
Bismuth subnitrate, eight parts,
Zinc stearate, four parts.
(2)
Calicylic acid, one part
Bismuth subnitrate, ten parts
Starch, ten parts.
Great relief will be found in allayng
offensive body odors if the above rules
are carried out.

Mob Masqueraders

There is an outbreak OF Ku-Klux'
activities over good part of the south
though whether the new ku-klux
klan has any connection with the
events is a matter for conjecture alone
A clergyman was stripped naked,
flogged. tarred and ieathered for
preaching to negroes. A woman was
stripped. tarred and feathered. but
without the preliminary nogging. pre-
sumably because she is accused OF
bigamy. An ex-seryicc man has been
tarred and feathered. an aged farmer
stripped and fogged. and other out
RACES of the same general sort are ru-
mored. All these assaults are COM
mitted by gangs OF masked men.
1t seems needless to spend much
time denouncing such yillainies. To
go in masked gangs and maltreat help
less victims is peculiarly cowardly
form OF scoundrelism. Assaults on
women and on aged men show the mob
spirit at its worst. but ii is bad enough
under any guise.
What is needed is some social evan
gelist who can convince the backward
societies in which such outrages occur
that every Ku-Klux outbreak is men
ace and disgrace to the community.
1t is a menace, because it puts the per
son of every citizen at the mercy OF
mob OF masquerading blackguards;
disgrace. because it shows the presence
in the community of large numbers of
people who have no comprehension OF
law, decency or fair play II by some
happy chance. one OF these gangs
should encounter an armed and fore
warned man who knew how to shoot,
the explanation would be easier.
