The French had to go through this with Germany For
six years they demonstrated morally that Germany ought
to pay.
The argument perfectly good and nobody denied it.

TO be disillusioned is to lose

Paris will try the experiment OF

are too youthful to be becoming, for

She has not yet learned that by

: -FABLEs ON HEALTH
COLD WATER BATHS

If you want good health, clear
complexion, and well-toned system,
take a cold water hand bath every
day of the year, Mr.. Jones of Any
town was told by the family doctor.
About half the accumulated i'm
purities of the body must be thrown
out through the skin. An unclean
skin. often is the parent of much
illness, and many so-called conta-
gious diseases.
The water for bath should be
of a temperature to suit the body.
If person is of vigorous constitu-
ton. or wishes to be. the water
should be cold.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-02-04

If the body can not stand cold
water, begin by taking baths in luke
warm water. and have it less warm
each day, as the body gradually be-
comes accustomed to it. -
Rub the body vigorously while
bathing. Too vigorous rubbing after
the bath is not wise, especially if
one does not remain in very warm
room afterward. Vigorous rubbing
causes one to perspire and then, to
become chilled after dressing.
If q hot water bath is taken, END
it with rinse in cold water. And
one should feel neither too chilled
nor too warm after leaving the bath.

THE 200 PER CENT
AMERICAN VIEW

AMERICAN VIEW
1t is argued that because we
made separate peace with Ger
many, we should also make separate
arrangements for payment.
We did. We arranged, separately,
to share all the rights, and to be
exempt separately from all the re-
sponsibilities Of the treaty Of Yer
sailles.
Now we have got this recognized
by the other powers, too. They
agree that we shall have our share
of the Dawes payments, and we do
not agree to have any share in col
lecting them.
What more could we do sepa-
rately? If Germany defaulted on US
separately, we should have to en-
force collection separately--which
is exactly what the DIRECTORS insist
we shall not do, separately or joint
ly.
AS it is, our fellow creditors as
sumo all the responsibilities Of col
lection, while we share only in its
benefits. The nearer to 200 per cent
American you are, the more clear
the righteousness of this will ap-
pear.
