"I want to help you to grow as beautiful as God meant you to be when he thought of you first." "Nowhere else iht'ne world hafi the giant of material progress wori such huge, seven league boots" as in this truly great, but still crudely young republic of ours. But with all our progress, we have been culp ably blind and negligent concerning certain fundametnal principles which must underlie every fair structure that is building for all time. The health of a nation, physical, mental, and moral, Is Its greatest wealth; but In our haste to grasp the glittering bauble of material riches, we have squandered there as recklessly as a child tosses the sands upon the seashore. The enormous fortunes accumulated by a few have enabled these lucky mortals unblight ed by Saturn who form, perhaps the seventieth part of our teeming mill Ions, floating buoyantly on top of the struggling, striving multitude to surround themselves with everything that science and Invention can tuf nlsh for the perfection of healthful living as well as Its luxury. These conditions, in a certain measure, at least, a- wise government should provide free for its less favor ed people who are unable to pay for them; and the return. In improved health and morality and consequent decrease in crime, would be hundred fold. We have been disgracefully negligent In the matter of free baths, and the goo which would be accom plished by the establishment of these in every town and city It would be impossible to overestimate. When we consider the condition of the "great unwashed," the actual suffering in nervous Irritability and countless bodily tortures from the want of cleanliness alone, the wonder Is they are as patient that reckless, hasty crimes, vicious work of a moment's made Belf--abandonment, nre not more frequent! The health, llght-heartedness, and happiness or the Japanese are doubt less due In no small measure to their public baths, which make it possible for every man, woman and child to enjoy a daily plunge. It would be a "retort. courteous" If some of those so-called "barbarous" nations, to Which in our arrogant pride of super ior morality we send missionaries, would come here and start a public hnth crusade. That would perhaps turn a light upon us by which we could "see ourselves as otners see us," and rouse public interest to re move this blot upon our civilization "The .soul and mind cabined with it. -nnflnMi nf a dirty skin can no more exercise their God-like preroga tives of highest reason and activity than a prisoner In a felon's cell can exercise his limbs with the vigor and i glllty of a free man. Healthy Im agination thus becomes dormant or extinguished, and conscience Itself Hhtunded or degraded Into vice." A skin loaded and obstructed with exuviae puts the body In exactly the condition for the absorption of all noxious vapors and Infections germ sun the atmosphere. Thus are the poor compelled to take and to spread every contagious disease that is In the air. The greater part of conta pious poisons are made epidemic In ("' manner. The poor have no KL'apons for defense; they cannot Vrtib away the poison, hut must ob- Iirt) it into their own poor, run-down bodies. The extreme purity of the skin be ing absolutely essential for health, It follows that the dally bath Is the surest means to secure It; and noth ing conduces more to keep the ekln soft, the flesh firm and round, the limbs pliant, and the whole body vig orous than frequent baths. Many beauty-destroying disorders are In duced by neglect of bathing, for everything which depresses the ac ! tion of the skin lowers the tone of all other vital organs. The volatile i matter, or vapor, exhaled dally by I the skin In nbrmal health Is. twice that which the lungs eliminate, I hence an inactive skin throws extra ! work upon both lungs and kidneys; ; and if it does not disease these or gans it will wear them out prema ;urely. Three fourths of the diseases to which civilized man is subject are attributed to the pores of the skin becoming stopped up. If women could but realize the na ture of the poisonous matter exuded from the skin through its millions of pores, It would not be necessary to advocate the advantages of the bath and its absolute necessity. Yours for charming womankind, M ADA MEQUi VILLA.. NEWS FROM THE JUNGLES OF CAV1TT CREEK. Me9srs. Ireland and Houser, of the forest service, made their monthly tour of Inspection last week. Mr. George Weber and family are camping at the old Harry Williams place where they succeeded in land ing several bags of speckled beauties and a few fine bucks.

Let every road supervisor take a' solemn vow that he will not spend a cent of the taxpayers' money (except for temporary repair) on the roads, unless the same is on as good a grade as the topography of the district will permit, and then grade, ditch, rock and gravel. This is the vow of H. .1. Robinett, our road supervisor, so we understand, Our old-time neighbor, L. A.

Newt Howe Is having quite a time locating his two gray horses which strayed away from White Rock camp some ten days ago. He says he has traveled at least 600 miles trying to find them.

If not to us, then to our far away neighbors whoever they may be. There was considerable excitement In our community the other day, caus ed by an unusual sound the like of which was never heard on Cavltt Creek before.
