In every pore there is little
water spout. 1t is part of the
cooling system. regulates to a Ger
tain extent the temperature of the
body. Under the stress of extreme
heat or vigorous exercise beads of
sweat will appear During ordinary
activities the pores are exuoing q
film of salty liquid that, unless
speedily removed. produce q fetid'
odor. Hence the need OF the daily
bath, a vigorous securing with
warm water, soap and a neavy
brush. It is folly TO depend upon the
shower to remove these deposits
which. combined with oil sent forth
by sebaceous glands, call for plen-
fy Of elbow grease.
SOAKING NO GOOD
Those casual bathers who sit in
the tub and soak while they read
the last chapter of the exciting
mystery story consider that prac-
tice sufficient to get them clear
skin surface. They are barking up
the wrong tree. AS is the young lady
who Jumps in and leaps out with
out frictioning the flesh, using
soap lavishly.
To induce the skin TO attend TO
its functions in Il normal manner,
the warm bath should be followed
by a quick cold shower and rub
down with course twole. The
towel will remove dead skin scales
that have been softened By soak
ing and friction.
We live in fastidious age. TINS
daily bath is taken for granted.
Bathtubs abound, soap is cheap.
Scrupulous cleanliness is favorable
to health and good looks.

One Of the most pathetic things
in the world is the way that women
gamble with their lives. Not one OF
them in a thousand has any definite
ambition, any goal toward which
she is striving, any ideal Of what she
wants to be, or has mapped out any
plan for her future. The majority
trust everything to luck. They want
to be happy and successful, but they
never seem to think that they have
any part in determining their fate.
The average woman believes in Kis-
met as implicitly as the most devout
Mohammedan. What will be, will
be, and you can't do anything about
it. And out of this fatalism springs
most of her disappointments and
sorrows and failures, for, after all, 1t
doesn't do to depend entirely upon
our fairy godmothers. They are
stingy old women we have to wheedle
and cajole and hold up for what
we get out of them.
Probably the thing that girls de-
sire above all other blessings Is to
be popular with boys, to have many
dates and to be the belle of the ball
wherever they go, but whether they
are or not they regard as just a
matter of chance. When they sit at
home and read an improving book,
instead of being out somewhere
dancing their feet of, they attribute
it to their i'll fortune in not having
been born a Miss America, and they
Just settle down on the anxious seat
without even trying to acquire a line
of charm that is far more potent
than mere looks.
It is almost an axiom that the
homelier a girl Is the worst taste
she displays in dressing, the crazier
she does her hair, the duller she is
to talk to and the more she treads
on her partners feet when she
dances. She doesn't try to offset her
lack of pulchritude by being fasci-
mating. She lets Lady Luck knock
her out in the first round.
Virtually all women dream of
marrying and living happily ever
afterwards with fine, noble men who
will be good providers and faithful
unto death. But they seldom use
the slightest modicum of intelli-
gence in trying to make their dream
come true. Every day we see girls
marrying good looking loafers who
have never even supported them
selves, or fishing drunkards out Of
the gutter and blithely going to the
altar with them, or trusting their
happiness to roues who have broken
the hearts Of q dozen other women.
All of them gambling on the chance
Of changing q man from what they
know him to be to what they want
him to be. And nearly every one
Of them losing out.
