Gwen tender skins won't feel
this.) Soak yourself, at full length,
in this bath for Is minutes. Then
dry yourself gently, keep warm,
and 60 promptly to bed.
The reason this new bath
works such magic (as proved in
scientific tests) is because the
warm water and Colman's Dry
Mustard in combination have
wonderful drawing power. They
materially increase the flow Of
your blood, all over your body,
toward the surface of your skin.
This speeds up the elimination of
the fatigue wastes, relaxes your
muscles and overstrung nerves,
and sends you to bed ready for
that dreamless peace Nature in
tended your nights to be.

Virginia. S Tourist Trade
$75,000,000 In Year

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. 3.-Outsiders
paid about $75,000. 900 last year to
see Virginia and found much more
to look at than the much-sung-
about cotton. corn and sweet pota-
toes.
This is . rough approximation, but
the State Conservation Commission
regards the tourist trade figure as
rather conservative and an increase
Of 500 or 50 per cent over q decade
ago
For years out-of- -Staters have
been attracted to Virginia by the
historic shrines, seashore resorts and
natural wonders, but it is significant
to note that during the '30s two
new points Of interest became travel
attractions No. l and 2 in the State.
