BENEFIT IN AILY TUBBING Required for Proper Preservation of Health and Looks-Turkish Bath Works Wonders. It would be wrong to proscribe hot evater baths for all the world of wom en, for there are undoubtedly condi -tions when they would be harmful, is the assertion made by a promineit physician. But daily tubbing in water of some temperature or other is re quired for looks and health, and if the heart is in good condition, the benefits of the hot tub are undeniable. So the long dead beauties of ancient Greece and Rome kept themselves fair, and so the beauty of today builds up her looks when she finds they are beginning to wane with time or a fevered life. Weak woman anxious for their looks crowd the Turkish bath, boiling and steaming away con ploxion hurts, rejuvenating muscles, lightening their bodies of superfluous flesh, soothing their 'nerves. And if they are used to such baths, or to some other preferred kind, they feel as fit as race horses for a week after ward. Some medical facts concerning the usual effects of the hot or cold bath give this illuminating information: The hot bath facilitates and stimu lates the natural combustion processes of the body; the cold bath, to produce the same results, lavishes Just four times the same amount of energy. The cold bath is not suffilciently cleansing for the health of the skin, and when there is a predisposition to skin troubles the chilly water tends to increase them. The process called "hardening," which consists in sub uitting one's system to the shock of cold plunges, is thought, too, the worst thing in the world for any but the most vigorous constitutions.

TARRtER, commercial Agent MUST NOT BECOME MACHINE Many Reasons Why Too Much Devo tion to Habit Is Bad for Indi vidual Worker. This force of habit is a good thing. It makes it possible for one to do a great deal of routine work with prac tically, no exertion. Once the pat torn is made, little attention is re quired. The brain acts almost auto matically, moving hands and feet as may be necessary to accomplish the desired action. But habit can be injurious, too. And by this I don't mean bad habits. I mean that the habit can be much over done, and that when this happens inia tive and originality die. You become little more than a machine, and though you may get through your al loted work perfectly, you are your. self fading out as an individual, los ing interest in existence. You girls whose work is pretty much all routine want to take care that habit doesn't make an end of you. A certain amount of routino labor is restful, and good for you. lut keep from letting yourself sink into a day in and lay out routine that roquires practically no thought, hardly any at tention. If your work tends to that sort of thing make yourself do it in now ways, watch out for short cuts, bring your mind to hear on all' its details, try to seek better ways of do ing what you are busy over. And if your work is really hopeless, then es cape from habit as much as possible the rest of your time. Don't so much as go home the same way every day in the week, vary your amusements, take up some study on the side. Re fuse at all hazards to atrophy your mind by falling into the unchanging habit of doing everything the same way, and thinking of everything the same way.-Pittsburgh Dispatch. RATHER SPOILED THE EFFECT Lawyer's Eloquent Address Nullified When His Opponent Related a Little Fable. A barrister who was possessed of an unusually loud voice was making an eloquent address to a jury. His case was fairly strong, and his trumpet tones made the rafters ring. The jury looked thoughtful and much impressed. The opposing barrister had a face like a hatchet and a thin, low voice. Ho began: "As I listened to the thunderous appeals of my learned op ponent I recalled a fable. A lion and an ass entered into a compact to slay the beasts of, the cold and share the spoils. The ass was to go into the thicket and bray and frighten the ani mals out, while the lion was to lie in wait and kill the fugitives. Well, the ass sought the darkest part of the jun. gle, and, lifting up his awful voice, brayed and brayed and brayed. The ass was intoxicated with his own up roar and thought he'd return to see what the lion thought of it. Ho found the lion pale in the face and trem bling. 'What do you think of that for braying?' said the ass. 'Don't you think I scared them?' 'Scared them?' repeated the lion in an agitated tone. 'Why, you'd have scared me if I didn't know you were a jackass!'" As He Saw the Play. "Oh, (10 tell me something about the play last night. They say that climna~ at the ('lose or the third act was aim ply grand," she said. "Yes, I am inclined to think it was very good,'' he r-eplied, without any mnarkedl degree of enthusiasm. "Can't you descrtibe it to mce," she continuied, beaming r-adiantly. "WhVly,"' explained he, '"the heroine camo stealthily on the stage and knelt, (lagger in hand, behind a clump of blue ribbons. The hero emerged from a large bunch or lilacs and as soon as she perceived hinm she fell upon him, sta bbed him twvice, and sank hal f-eon scion into a v'ery handsome aigrette.
