Rome, at the height OF her power
and culture, produced. some very
remarkable men. Her soldiers. her
statesmen and her philosophers are
often referred to because Of their
influence on the thought and action
of the world.
One Of the greatest Of these was
Marcus Portius Cato, a philosopher
and statesmen, who lived between
the years 234 and 140 B. c. This
Observation-Disclosures was import
ant in the Roman senate. It was
due partly to his influence that
Rome developed her famous public
baths on Thermas. He was one OF
the first of the Roman noblemen
to own a private bath.
Cato was more than forty years
old when his only son was born.
This was the biggest event in his
life. He was so proud Of the boy
that he would leave affairs of stale
every afternoon and go home ia
personally superintend the baby'a
daily bath.
Frequent bathing was practiced
by the majority of Rdme's citizens
AS a result, citizens Of Rome were
the most vigorous and healthful
men Of all the civilized races Of
that day.
Gradually the American people
too, are learning the hygienic
benefits Of daily bathing. Bathing
facilities are so inexpensive now
that practically every American
home can have at least a bath tub.
