"
THE P.AT1IS OK LUXURY '
- A.l OF HYGIENE.
"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,
