Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DR. HUGH g. CUMMING surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service

'' Di' HUH .. CUM MING surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service
 A good many people fail to realize that just as the kidneys are eNcfetory organs so the skin is an organ Of eXcretion which throws off waste products and worn out ma terial of the body. We have seen that If this waste material is not promptly removed from the system that we suffer in various ways. You should also understand that if this waste material is allowed to remain on tho surface of the skin unde- sirable consequences may follow.
 It Is to assist nature in the speedy excretion of waste material that a daily bath, particularly dur ing the warm weather, is recom- mended.
 During the warm weather the skin is very active and the amount of excretion is much greater and decomposition takes place more rapidly in warm weather than in cold weather, although 1t may be said in passing that daily bath. winter and summer. will do you no harm.
 The old fashioned weekly bath, which is still all too common in households where modern bathing facilities are not available, will not maintain a clean and pleasant con- dition of the skin especially during summer months. A tub bath Is, of course, usually desirable. but 1t Is certainly not always necessary for the daily bather. In fact, a shower is more sanitary.
 Shower baths should be taken upon arising in the morning and should be followed by brisk rub. ping with a coarse towel. Soap should be used literally and wash cd off thoroughly. Very old people and very young people and invalds should be cautious about taking cold baths at any time. The shock which follows the sudden reduction of the temperature of the surface of the body is not followed by a prompt reaction and frequently un- l pleasant results occur.
 A cold plunge into a tub of icy water In the morning is not recom- mended for those who do not en- l joy it. It is question whether such a cold plunge is not detrimental to | the health of even those hearty in. dividuals who prefer this rigorous morning indoor sport.
 Warm Bath Best for Cleansing
 A warm bath is best for cleansing purposes and is soothing and rest ful, You should remember, how. ever, that warm bath is not stimu- lating and that 1t renders you sus. | ceptible 10 cold temperatures. For this reason, warm baths should be taken just before bed time in the winter, for exposure after warm bath. especially in the winter, is not infrequently followed by a cold or some more serious consequence. During the warn weather, warm baths may be taker during the day for the purpose O. cleanliness without harmful results
 A very good plan is to take { moderately warm bath and then al low cold water 10 run into the tut until 7S or 80 degrees Fahrenhei

SEEK MORE SHIPS
TO AID DRY NAVY
IN WAR ON BOOZE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A new
fleet of armed warcraft to reinforce
the present dry navy in its campaign
against liquor smugglers was planned
by the treasury department today.
Unable TO combat rum runners
with its present fleet, the coast
guard has appealed to congress for
new ships. Ten new cutters have
already been requested and an ad-
ditional ten more ships will be made
early next wear.
In addition to the cutters, the
guard hopes to obtain money for
six airplanes for scouting work.
The navy department will be asked
10 turn over seVera1 mine sweepers
and old destroycrs to the dry navy.
Under present plans there will be
no more building of wooden
launches for patrol work. Steel
hull launches 100 feet long grad
ually will replace the smaller boats
that now guard the shores against
Smugglcrs. From the small wood
en- launches, now used in sea duty,
more than Il score of men have been
washed overheard and drowned in
the last six months.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The
United States ranks below France
and England in airplane defense,
although our types of planes are
as efficient as can be designed,
Major General Mason M. Patrick,
chief of the army air service, told
the Mitchell court martial today.
Patrick admitted that we have
but 90 obsolescent planes in the
pursuit group and no machines in
the attack group. 81
Patrick further said that this
country has no definite air policy
either for the commercial or mill
tary future although certain plans
have been formulated.
The air general upset tradition of
his branch of the service by defend
ing anti-aircraft artillery.
Defends Anti Artillery
"Anti-aircraft artillery is one of
the most dangerous factors with
which the airman must contend,'
Patrick said, ''and I am in favor
of continued anti-aircraft gunnerv
practice for the defense of this
country'
Patrick, under cross examination,
concurred with the original state
ment that planes with a minimum
fire control could be purchased in
stead of the war time OH s and
