"Low enbraut" Is a photo drama for the mov ing pictures and was played in Berlin. Germany. The plot of the film is that one of the daughters of an eccentric American millionaire spends most of her life In an atmosphere of lions. This is the first time that so famous a sing er as Mme. Destinn appeared In such a role, requiring such an amount of nerve, and while she thinks nothing of her feat and says the Hon acted just like an Angora kitten, lovers of the opera are more than glad that no harm befell the prima donna who is now singing In grand opera here In Amer ica.

BT DR. FREDERICK M. ROSS ITER. IT DOES not seem to be in original human nature to keep clean, or to want to keep clean. This may shock the super-civilised reader who takes a plunge or a shower every morning and a "good scrub once a week or oftener The bathing habit, like that of using knives and forks, simply Is acquired. The American Indian has always been notorious for lack of cleanliness. Bathing was and is the exception. It is no exaggerated statement to say that a large proportion of the Inhab itants of the earth today seldom take a bath for cleansing purposes. In many parts of Svain it is dirricuit to find facilities for iking a Datn. In all ages of e world, however, bathing has always gone with a high civilization, but with the passing of that civilization bathing as a custom passes also Into oblivion. We read of the daughter of a proud Pharoah going down to the river Nile to bathe. It is some centuries since the Egyptians were noted for much bathing. The Hebrew people under Moses bad definite instructions In regard to bathing and washing and keeping clean. The Spartans and" early Greeks made battling obligatory by law. Batatas; Denrr'brd by Boater. More than 3000 years ago Homer writes about bathing among the Greeks. He speaks of bathing partic ularly in the army at the siege of Troy, in 11S4. B. C.'

During Roman ascendency the bath attained to an Important place among the well-to-do.

An age of almost unheard-of filth suc ceeded. Sage and Monk strove with one another to see who could pack about the most dirt and rags. The dirtiest was considered the most saint ly. They avoided rivers for fear that they would lose some ot their sanc tity. Now and then was come across a person whose Ideas and habits remind us of those days. I once heard a phy sician say that an odoriferous and pe culiar, as well as much bundled pa tient, came Into his office one day. and among other things. he suggested that she take a bath. She threw up her hands In horror and - said, "Why, doctor, the shock would kill me. I have not taken a bath for 30 years." Briton Scouts Bat alms'. Of course there Is not a shadow of doubt that this individual was a real "moss back." There are some good people (a large number) -who do not take a bath from late In the Fall until the warm of Spring. All such would warmly approve the public utterance of a prominent Englishman some two years ago who took the position that we ougnt never to bathe. In all like lihood he was brought up In a bathless environment, for there are parts ' In England where bathing Is not common. Some rfcople take a bath only by ac cident. Only a few have rabies, but THE SUNDAY OREOON7ANV TORTLAND, DECEMBER 14, 1913. a.a ao'-: Meyer has done much to stimulate the interest in gardens In this country by showing a collection of autocrome slides which be displays on the screen. The Baroness de Meyer, who is a god child of the late King Edward, of Eng land, is one of the best known woman fencers of Great Britain, and has fenced here with many women promi thousands are afflicted with hydro phobia. In these days of hygienic reform the morality of the' bathtup Is so thoroughly established that the 'doc trine of the Englishman Is not likely to find support. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the physiology of the skin can read lly see the necessity for bathing. There are some 1,600.000 sweat pores in the skin, with something like SO miles of sweat tubes. vThen there is a large number of oil glands that furnish an oily substance to keep the skin and hair soft and supple. In the course of Si hours these two sets of glands can pour out several pounds of water and of waste matter. After the fluids are evaporated a solid residue remains on the skin. If one neglects to take a bath for a few days, these waste substances accumu late and undergo chemical changes, forming, poisons and giving rise to offensive odors. Frequent changing of the clothing Is not sufficient. The skin needs to be washed, otherwise the pores become clogged up, the waste Is re-absorbed and circulates In the blood. Skin Life's Keyboard. The skin Is the keyboard upon which much of the harmony or discord of life Is produced. Those who bathe Infrequently need to have considerable tuning done. A morbid mind and melancholia are often associated with an inactive skin. Anything that af fects the skin affects the mind. A jaundiced skin Indicates jaundlcea nerves, brain, muscles and other tis sues. Feeling of depression, loss of appe tite. Inability to sleep, lack of ambi tion are often times due to an inac tive skin. A teacher In a mission Sunday school was urging on her class that "Cleanli ness Is next to godliness." She tried to Impress the children that it was needful to cleanliness to wash their bodies all over with soap and water at least once a week. In short, to take a bath. One earnest little girl raised her hand. "What Is It. Mary?'. "I did take a bath once," said Mary, "but I got nent in society and posed for one of the most successful paintlngs-aof tSargeant. . , Lively scenes were witnessed In the streets of the City of Mexico when Madero was overthrown and much blood was shed In the Mexican capital. The. conditions are likely to be dupli cated in the near future. such an awful cold that ma wouldn't never let me take another." This Incident emphasises not only the need of preaching the gospel of bath ing among the poor, but also the prac tical difficulties in the way of many. Some of us can remember when we were youngsters we were haled In from play to take one weekly bath In the kitchen specially heated for the pur pose. A wooden washtub half full of water stood In the middle of the floor. That was our bathtub and we were ad monished "not to get any more water on the floor than you can help. ' City Ber Fortwaate. The modern boy who objects to his bath In the porcelain tub, with hot and cold water to be had at will, ought to be put back once to the heated kitchen and the wooden tuh. or to the expert ence of the girl whose "ma" wouldn't let her take a batff. The city boy who tries to get out from taking a bath should remember that perhaps his cousin In the country still has to get Into the .family washtub occasionally. There is a singular inconsistency to be noted in many families. .The mother bathes the baby every day before dress ing It and would he scandalized at the suggestion that the baby did not need a bath. But what about the older children? How many of the active boys and girls who run and play and work, who get the perspiration to flowing freely from their 2,500.000 sweat pores not once, but several times a day how many of these have a dally hath Ilka their baby sister or brotherT They need it quite as much. If not more. In these days of specialization and commercialism it is to be expected that the bath will be exploited. From one authority you will hear that all vir tues reside In the hot bath, or the min eral bath, or the medicated bath, or the cold bath, the plunge, the shower, the soak. When it comes to considering the bath as a therapeutic measure, an aid in the curing of disease, the same must be taken like medicine, according to the nature and symptoms of the trouble. Nobody suffering from in somnia should take a cold bath before retiring., No doubt there are those who have weakened themselves by taking too many hot hatha. People suffering from heart disease should not take a hot tirb bath at least one of any dura tion. There Is one sort of bath that, so far as my knowledge goes, has never been abused by over-indulgence. This Is the cold morning rub, shower bath or plunge.

Bale Are Offered. In taking the cold bath, a few simple rules should be observed: 1. If you feel cross In the morning when you wake up, don't speak to anybody until after you get out of the trfb. S. If you wake up discouraged and tired, don't He In bed and think about it. but take your bath Immediately. 3. Don't stand shivering on the bath rug, looking at the water and think ing how rolld it is, but get In at once. ?. Don't plunge in head first, or crawl in by inches, but jump in, splash yourself all over as speedily as pos sible. 6. Don't remain in cold water more than a few seconds. In fact, getting In and out Is all that is necessary. It is seldom necessary to enfphasize this. . If you are able, do your own dry ing. If you rub yourself the wrong way, the effct Is just as good. 7. If possible take this bath In a warm room. However, this Is not so necessary if taken at once on rising. 8.
