-tia, i!lt iicallil NlGNayIIlt. There are all sorts ot baths for al sorts O. purposes. Briefly they may b. divided into cold baths, hot baths, warm baths, carbonate water baths. steam baths, yapor baths and similar modlijcations. With q view lo lne hysIonic aspects Of the matter exclusively this statement will avoid any mention of champagne baths, ginger ale baths, milk baths or other theatrical notifications.
 The warm bath cieanscs the body, druWs the blood 10 the sur face, increases precipitation and has a soothing effect. Bathing in very hot water is dangerous, par tcuIarly 10 weakened persons. and should not be done except under medical advice.
 Cold baths taken in the morn ing stimulate the nerve cndings n the skin and drive the blood rom the surface, to which it re- turns with A rush when the person .mursas from the bath and rubs himself brislly with the towel. There are all sorts of cold bath fanatics who submit themselves to exposure unduly with the notion that they will, in this manner, pro- t.ct themselves against infections, catching cold, or any sort of dis case. There is not the slightest evidence that the taking Of a cold Iath every morning is an effective protection against colds.
 There is good evidence, how ever, that such baths are stimulat- ing 10 the appetite and that they produce a sense Of iuvigoration. The procedure described includes stepping into the tub. sitting down, immersinE the body com pletely, and promptly stepping out
 gain. Obviously for such a rapid performance the shower bath is preferable.
 The cold sponge bath is used where water is not coriously available. A sponge is saturated with cold water and squeezed over line shoulders SO that the water lms down on all sides. The body is then rubbed brisHly with coarse towel
 Baths in which all sorts Of ma terials are placed in rhe water have little special effect. since most Of these materials cannot be absorbc1 through the skin. The real value of salt water baths must La credited to the atmosphere and surroundings in which they arc taken. Sa salt in bags does not carry with it the sunlight, the bulfating of tho waves, the brisk ocean breeze. the running and playing on the beach, or the pleas ant observance of the surrounding company.
 Hot Napor baths, such as the Turkish or Russian baths, stimu- late cNcretion through the pores of the skin. They are not espe- cillly hcalthful for the normal person. but must he considered as in every sense Of the word special baths for disorders of the physical condition.
 Bathing is a habit. It should be indulgcd in as a routine with which only important eNigencics should be permitted to interfere. Once the

This is. Of course, another way Of saying that he who laughs last laughs hest' X lot of people laugh too soon. Perhaps they think that if they don't laugh at the first op- portunty they may not laugh at all and there is some truth in this. Just ask Reddy Fox.
 Reddy had guessed where Hooty the Great Horned Owl was bound in the late afternoon. Now, while Teddy cannot run as fast as Hooty can fly he can get over the ground very fast when he is so inclined, an'l lie wasn't as far behind 1ooty as .you might have expected him 10 be. When Neddy got in sight of the barn he was heading for he dis covered Hooty almost at once. You know, Eeddy's eyes are very good fin lhe dusk. Hooiy was sitting on rop of q telephone pole. Probably had you or l come along We wouldn't have noticed him at all. He sat so straight that he seemed 10 be a part Of the pole.
 But Keddy saw him at the very first glance. You sec, the instant he looked at that telephone pole il seemed 10 him taller than it ought 1o bc, taller than he remembered it 10 be. so then he looked more sharply and discovered Hooty the Owl RaIay grinned. Then he Chgctled down inside. Then he sat down and laughed.
 This Is funny" thought Eeddy 10 himself. If Hooty knew any thing at all about hens and chickens he would know that they lad gone to roost inside the hen house for tho night and that he hasn't q chance in the world of getting one until they come ont to- morrow morning. It certainly is Funry To see him sitting up there. I'm atr3jd those babies Of his will go hungry long time tonight fl they wait for him 10 bring home q chicken. IL would be great fJn to get one right under his nose, SO 70 speak. TEea I would have the laugh on him. l. looks to me as if that hanhouse door is open crack. Certainly the henyard gate is open. J. looks as f everything is st for chicken dinner for Eedly Fox. However, ! mustn't take too muck for granted. There may be tr3ps. IT look around q bit first"
 x keeping in the blackos' Of tho Black Shadows and traaang so lightly that the sharpost ears eogll not have heard his footsteps, using that wonderful nose Of his as old Mother Nature intended 1t should b" used, keeping his eyes and his ears wide open. Hn1dy made a com ptote circle of that henhouse and fhe hcuyard. Every few steps Lr would stop. cock those sharp, black ears of his and listen for sounds from the house and the barn. The more he looked listened and &mellcd the safer he felt.
 Tt must be they've grown care less here" thought EodIy 'It must be that they haven't had a visit from a Fox for I long 'iue. Certainly tbey haven't had one from me, and l don't believe Mrs. E"lJy has been over here. Perhaps they mean to shut those hens pp a little later. 1T '1at is the case the time to get Chicken is while the getting is good, .ard the getting will be saod only so long as the way is open"
 He stole swiftly over to the open Fate 10 the henHard. There he paused and once more looked lis- tened and tested the air. Then be
