BATHS AND BATH SOAPS

If have been writing a great seal
about bathing and beauty recently it
is because of the number of interest
ed letters I have received on the sub
jet from my readers. Many of them
have asked whether soap should be
used at all in bathing. 70 this I
must answer that it depends upon a
number of things.
If you live in the city where the
air is filled with dust and smoke you
must use soap upon the hands and
upon the face. unless you use a clean
sing cream followed by hot water.
If you take a warm bath daily it is
not always necessary to use soap
upon the body. or the body, is pro-
tected by clothing and will not need
this extra cleansing treatment. Soap
can be used every other day.
If you have been dancing or in
dulging in any vigorous exercise you
should use soap with the bath that
follows unless you have a very fine
needle spray in your bathroom. The
skin has been made so active by the
exercise that it needs somthing extra,
vigorous in the way of a bath.
A verp hot, very soapy bath every
day is drying and should be avoided
except by the woman who is stout
and can lose lesh or the woman with
the very oily skin. In any case the
bath soap should be very mild. 1t
should be pure CASTLE purchased by
the bar, cut in inch thick cakes, and
allowed to dry.
I know one woman who has made
an excellent bath soap by boiling a
package of oatmeal into a thick
Cruel and into this melting a five
pound bar of CASTLE soap. She pour

you learn to think less about yourself

Put yourself in the place of the mans
wife and imagine how she will feel
if you permit her husband to leave

to do such a thing and to stop seeing
the man. When you are out of his

will bless you for your decision. Above
all things, be honorable or you will

FARM TARIFF
RATES TOSTAND:
GO0D|NG SAYS:
Bloc" Members Make Fight
Before conferees-Meantim
Bonus Is Laid Aside.
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.

The high protectionist duties on
agricultural products, won for
American farmers on the floor Of
the Senate, will not be lost in the
tariff conference. Senator Gooding
Rep) Of Idaho, chairman Of the
Republican tariff bloc" predicted
today. Gooding announced the
bloc would fight to the end"
to prevent radical reductions.
From other sources. it was
learned the tariff conferees had
made few changes in the farm
tariffs. . Most of the Senate rates
on all schedules, 1t was said. were
retained in the bill. Some OF the
controversial rates are yet to be
considered by indications where the
Senate bill would not be materially
changed. Under the present sched.
ule, the conferees hoped to reach n
final agreement by Saturday. Mean
time the bonus bill has been laid
aside.
Gooding, It was learned, appeared
before the tariff conferees with a
delegation of farm bloc members
from both the House apd Senate 70
demand retention of all protective
rates on farm products. This per-
sonal appeal from the farmers rep
resentatives, IL was said. impressed
the conferees.
Gooding, Senator Capper Rep)
of Kansas, chairman Of the Senate
farm bloc" and Congressman Dick.

the House farm bloc" were spokes-
man for the delegation.
This will be the third year"

crop will produce less cash than II
