Incidental Story In this incidental story, Mar¬ tin Cerkovnik came to the new eountry hefore the War and worked in the coal mineš of Pennsylvania, where he earned good money. A disaster in the mineš made him a cripple and left him penniless as the min- ing cocpany fleeced him of his lust compensation. After a hard struggle he regained his vigor and started a small store,vvhich soon failed. Is Finally Dcported In search of work he traveled through half the states, finally he started a bootlegging business which again proved bad as he was arrested and sentenced to 'pri- son. When he came out he was without a home and in desper- ation hurled a brick through a window and again landed in jail where he vvas at last fed and had a bed. The prison term did not last forever, and in a few months he was in the same plight as before. To be freed from this misery he lied to the immigration officers that he en tered the country illegally and was deported to Slovenia, where fate was kinder than in America Hailed as Most Important Con. tribution to American Slovene Literature J.

The best shots were the Knights of St. John Marching Unit and the majestic procession of the Blessed Sacrament. Views of the large crowd that filled the Stadium. for the first time were included. The bili, as presented by the Holy Name Society of St. Mary’s, provided a full evening of en- tertainment and was interesting throughout. It vvas easily wcrth more than the ten cents which was charged as admission. What is hailed as an epic in the great literary movement of Pan-American Slovenes came to pass when the first Slovene book to be published in South Ameri¬ ca saw the light of day, some two vveeks ago. This book, the first to be pub¬ lished in South America, was vvritten by Mr. J. M. Jug, an im- migrant who came Irom that part of Slovenia which is now under the control of the Italian govern- ment. This work is called "Iz¬ seljenec and teliš vividly of the sufferings and tribulations of one who has to leave his native land. Good Travelog The vvriter deals >n it upon his voyage from his native land to Argentina, 'giving his impressions of the voyage and his feelings upon having to leave his birth plače and seek work in a far dis- tant land vvhere everything is strange to him. Into his impres¬ sions the vvriter also casts his re- flections upon the problems that are confronting Europe and the entire vvorld today. He views these things in the light of a small creature looking at them. It is, according to ali critics, a very good travelog. Attractive Book This volume contains i 48 pages, divided into twenty-one chapters and is bound and print- ed in a very attractive manner. t costs only seventy cents post- paid to America. Ali critics in Europe and America have acclaimed it as a very good work. The Jugoslav! paper “Jutro” says of it: "It is a serious, simply vvritten travelog which holds your interest until you finish it.” Great Literary Movement The publication of this book is hailed as a great movement among South American Slovenes. With it, they have shown that they are mindful of their nation- ality and have an interest in it. Many Slovene books have been published by the United States Slovenes and now the South American people have started the same work. Because of this venture much good is augured for the Slovene language and its preservation among the settlers in South America. This book will arouse much interesi in Slovene things and will show to ali in- terested in Slovene that as much interest prevails among the South American Slovenes as i other parts of the globe.

She !was assisted by Anton Suh*'* famed baritone from the Ljub¬ ljana Opera House in Jugoslav¬ ia. Angelo Vitale’s 15 piece or¬ chestra accompained the sing- ers. Important Personages Present About 700 people came to wit- ness the debut of their popular Singer. One noticed many influ- ential and important personages in the audience, chief among them being the lady responsi- ble for Mrs. Grdina’s concert, Madame Marion Struthers.Sum- mers, her singing teacher. It was evident that a very large number of peOple were in- terested in Mitzi’s concert, for she received a score of bouquets from her many well-wishers. By the end of the concert, there \vere so many baskets of flowers that they extended from one end of the stage to the other, mak- ing a beautiful part of the stage setting. Is a True Artist With the opening number from Strauss, Mrs. Grdina show- ed that she is a true artist, trained to a high caliber and capable of handling the most difficult numbers. It was the concluding number of the oper- atic part of the concert, the duet from “II Trovatore” tnat brought out her voice in ali its splendor and richness. “H Trovatore” Her Climax Until then, it seemed that Mitzi held back her voice when it was necessary to soar to its highest. She did not give out her full voice. In “II Trovatore ’ however, she gave out her voice in ali its clearness and it rose to the highest pitch—the true voice of Mitzi Grdina. Deiean- ing applause burst out — it was the triumphant moment of her debut. - ' Slovene Folk Songs She followed this triumnh with a set of Slovene folk songs in national costume, in which she again proved that an American bora woman can act to the point the peasant maid of Slovenia. The assisting artist, Anton Subelj, was the same as in ali his concerts—giving everything he has to please the people. In the excerpts from the operas, he showed his high acting abil- ities vvhen portraying the vari- ous parts. The orchestra accompanied the songsters in ali the pieces and, with the exception of the Bigoletto duet vvhen it was too loud and the first folk song “K oknu pridem” when it was a little off tempo in the begin- ning, it was expertly directed. ,\ngelo Vitale received the most applause when he played a med- ley of Slovene folk songs. One had to look only at the oleased faces and listen to the anthusiastic words of' praise as the people filed from the hali to know that the concert was every thing expected of a debut con¬ cert. Practically Entire Amount of Monument Donated by Slo¬ venes in the United States MANY SLOVENES AT WEŠTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY Various Coll e ges of W. R. U. Have a Large Number of Local Men and Women Enrolled Vilhar’s Day—that was Sun- day, August 9th, in Jugoslavia at Planina. Here a statue of the famous composer was unveiled amid colorful ceremonies not often witnessed in Slovenia. It vvas a mighty demonstration of ali Slovenes, expressing their love for their greatest composer and by so doing showing the entire world the national consciousness present in their souls. Americans Contribute A most interesting part of this commemoration is that the Slo¬ venes of America played the principal role in it. The Amer¬ ican Slovenes made the unveil- ing possible by contributing whole heartedly for its constručtion when it was decided to put up a monument. In Minnesota the Slovenes went to work, heart and soul, and gave practically the en¬ tire amount for this statue. But the committee did not forget this and to show their appreciation of their brothers across the sea they saw to it that ali ages will read that the American , Slovenes are the builders of the Vilhar monu ment by putting a special tablet on the monument informing the petople of America's part in the venture. The tablet reads: “Built on the encouragement of Joseph Benedek and Matija Pogorelec, American Slovenes and natives, 1931." Life Story Miroslav Vilhar was bom at Planina on September 7, 1818. He studied law, but never finish- ed as he was called home to at- tend to his father’s affairs. Under the influence of Fran Levstik he began composing Slovene songs which soon won him wide popu- larity. His best songs are “E^p Jezeru” “Zagorski Zvonovi” and "Rožic ne bom trgala." He died August 6th, 1871. mm TO HAVE A surprisingly large number of Slovenes are enrolled in the various schools of Western Re- serve University this fall. There are nine Slovene students en¬ rolled, while there are many others whose names are not known. Three Slovenes are attending the Reserve Medical School. Mr. James Seliškar and Mr. Carl Rotter are in their second year, while Mr. Rudolph Antončič is a first year man. In the Dental j School we have Mr. Vincent Opaskar, studying in the first year. The Layv School has one Slovene listed, Mr. Joseph Flais- iman, formerly of Baldwin-Wal- lace. Mather College Has Slov e ne At Flora Stone Mather Col¬ lege, Miss Josephine Bernot is a senior, who is maj or ing in teaching. Mr. Frank J. Kern is a freshman at Adelbert, while Mr. Math Beljan is a sOphomore at the same college. Then we have Mr. Steve Bernardic, a ju¬ nior, who is president of the Študent Council, as well as a star of the basketball team. Besides the above, we have a score of Slovenes listed at Cle¬ veland College, many of whom attend class during the day while others study in the evening courses.

VITUS BAZAR SATURDAY OPENS MORE STUDENTS REGISTER FOR ADULT SLOVENE SCHOOL Large Class Shows Much Interest As Activities Are Planned For Season Last Friday found many new students registering for the Adult Slovene School which is held every Friday at 7:30 p. m in the old building of the Slo¬ vene National Home. the The annual St. Vitus Church Bazar will open Saturday night. The bazar will be held in the basement of the new St. Vitus Church Building, the first time that the new structure will be open to the public. The carnival will continue on Oct. 18, 21, 22 and 25, with two nights set aside for special pur- poses. They are Wednesday, Oct. 21 when it will be Mer- chants’ Night and Thursday, Oct 22 when the graduates of St. Vitus will be honored by an Alumni Night. Best Bazar Attractive stands will display valuable prizes to be given away to lucky persons and ali points show that it will be the biggest bazar put on by the parish There will be plenty of plače to look around this year, for the basement is large, so there will be no crowding as in other years. J ‘j 'j The turn-out of students for the school has been so grcu*. this year that a shortage of books made it necessary to send a rush order for more. Since the class is so large thif year, many plans are in the making to furnish the class wi»- lively interests besides the iegu- lar study period. Outing on Sunday Their first affair will be an outing next Sunday, to the beau¬ tiful grounds of the Metropoli tan Park Reservation. At the last meeting plans were alsc made to have a year book, r monthly sheet of interesting happenings which would take the form of a miniature news- paper, and class pins. As yet these plans are only discussionf and nothing concrete has beer done about them. which the Sokols Qf Collinwood will hold Sunday, it would be a common affair. But when one hears of the program which is attached to the dance then one is immedately attentive. For the Sokols will have a dance and program at the Slovene Work- ingmcn’s Home on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 7:30 'p. m. The principle diversion for the evening will be the dance Itiut the program attached to it will be a specialty which will take plače in such a short time in the intermission of the orchestra that not one dance of the sched- ule of the evening will be missed. Will Present Tumbling For about 15 minutes the So¬ kols will occupy the spotlight. with their tumbling and their exhibition but into that time they v/ill crowd a great deal of gymnastics which will be of a vvhirlv/ind fashion. It is the So¬ kols of Collinwood who can ao that kind of a thing. They have experience in short and snappy drills which have in them ali the essentials of thrills and feats vvhich tlvey specialize when they are invited to show their wares to the public at shows and exhibitions in the public parks wliere they have gained farne. Invite Friends Under the leadership of Mr. Louis Žele and his assistants the Sokols are sure to 'please, under ali circumstance and es- pecially on this occasion. They are appealing to ali the friends of Sokolism in Cleveland and Euclid, as well as the Sokols themselves to attend in as great numbers as they possible can. This is the opportunity in vvhich they would like to gather some moral as well as financial en¬ couragement for their program for the coming season is heavy. To make the evening very de- lightful they have engaged the augmented Struggler Harmon’'’ Aces to furnish the mušic f<;r the occasion. When they are billed for a dance there is noth¬ ing more to say except that the Sokols will be ready to entertain a large assemblage. GEORGE WASHINGTONS HOLD SECOND DANCE OF YEAR The class will certainly be lively and active this year, ar can be seen from their first month’s work. The George Washington lodge of the S. S. C. U. will hold their second dance of the season at the Slovene National Home, to- morrow evening. This dances promises to be as great a success as their first dance, given about a month ago. Tomorrow’s dance is called “The Svveetest Dance on the Sweet- ost Day of the Year.” The Tree Choppers will again oresent to the public a well- known dance orchestra when Bill Fayne and his Euclid Park orchestra will come to play v*or the dancers. Surprise your best on the “Svveetest Day” of the year by "aking her to the biggest dance n town—the second hop of the George Washingtons, vvhere you will be assured of an entire eve- ning of good time.

Try as hard as one may, he cannot shake off the realization that the older generation of Slovenes is counting on the younger generation to carry on those "traditions and those institutions which they have begun and which they have carried on through the years, waiting and waiting patiently until the children grow up to take the leading plače in the organizations. One cannot shake off that realization no matter how much one tries. Prob- ably there is nothing said but the expectation is there neverthe less. The patient work and striving toward the goal which has animated the older people means only one thing. They have gone to the limit of self-sacrifice to make institutions possible which will take čare of them when they get old and give an opportunity to the young to carry on. That self.same pressure is now being reflected in the things which aje being said and done in Europe. Over there they have realized > that the Slovenes of America are also a part of the Slo- vene race but until now, because of political and other reasons they could not get the proper contacts with the people here. Now the conditions are changed and they are beginning to realize the importance of the people hore. And curiously enough they are pinning their hopes on the second generation of Slovenes to fulfill the contacts and make them alive with action. The echo is vibrant. Every occasion is utilized to stress the importance of the American Slovene youth in the mission which they must rul- fill. It is no longer a matter of idle speculation or of indifference. It becomes a challenge to the American Slovene youth to fulfill any expectations which are' raised in Slovenia. shine, every day for every one. Frank found no work in the bake shops—No Slovene bake hops on St. Ciair avenue in those days.

Putting on a finishing touch to a most successful Ipterlodge indoor baseball season, the Pio- neers edged the Orels in the last of the championship finals by a 1-0 count. With both cluhs having a victory apiece, and the title at stake, the Pioneers and the Orels, again put on one ol the closest fought games of the year. Both teams have played spectacularly throughout the season’s play, but never have two teams played on such even terms in a title battle. The Pioneers eked a 3 r 2 decision in a fifteen inning encounter in the first playoff game. Playing with their backs against the wall, the Orels smashed out a 5-3 verdict in the second tus- sle and then the Pioneers dis- played true championship form by winning the deciding game by a 1-0 score. Pioneers Score in the First The Pioneers drew first blood in the opening frame, when Ha- bian first up, walked. Yurk was easy, Jeray to Brancelj. An- slow then smashed a terrific li- ner into right field, scoring ha- bian for the only run of the game. The next two hatters vhiffed. Working on a siender one run margin, Makovic, the Pioneeris hurling ace, never vorked harder, as he set down batter after batter. And not only did he work hard, but his fitlders also did. He was accord- ed perfect support in which the Pioneer players rose to the heights as they fielded s-ensa- tionally with not an error be- ing charged against them. Ma¬ kovic fanned ten batsmen and had perfect control, as no man reached first on a walk. He a3!owed five hits, one more than his team got. Anslo>/ Drives in W inning Tally To Ansiow goes the credit of batting in the deciding run. 1 With Habian on first, the re- sult of a walk. Anslow got the first hit off Jeray, on the mound for the Orels, scoring Habian with the first and only run of the game, and as’ it proved, later on, to be the winning run of the game. Habian got on base twice, as he singled in the third inning. Bel jan and Yurk each crashed a single during the battle. The Pioneers had an¬ other scoring opportunity in the third, when Bel jan singled with one out. Habian followed with another one bagger, but Beljan over-ran second and vas nipped by the quick return of the bali. Yurk grounded out to end the inning. In the seventh Yurk, first up, singled but died there as the next three batsmen vere retired on strikes. their vay into the finals, over teams supposedly superior to them. Their playing has been one of the best features in the indoor season. The Orels. nicked Makovic for five hits. Tvo of these came in the sixth frame in vhich they had their best scoring chance. With one gone, “Frenchy” Brinovec singled. 0> Pristov’s hard - hit one bagger, Frenchy attempted to take third but vas called out on a very close play. With tvo avay Jeray popped to Barbič. In the ninth inning “Frenchy” first up, singled but vas stranded there as the next three hitters hit in¬ to easy chances. It vas in this frame that a hit vas needed but the Orels lacked the punch to bring the runner in. Brinovec - Pristov Star at Bat “Frenchy” Brinovec and Pris¬ tov vere the chief attack for the Orels. Both boys crashed out a brace of singles apiece. F. Brancelj smacked out the other hit for the Orels. Iggie Jeray, the Orel mounds- man, proved to have the edge on Makovic as he alloved four to Makovic’s five hits. But it vas the opening frame vhich proved to be disasterous to him for he movetl dovn man after man m the folloving innings but it vas too late. His valk in the initial frame, scored the vinning run. Jeray breezed seventeen bats¬ men. He valked tvo and vas touch fer five hits. Pioneers True Champs The Pioneers by their sensa- tional playing during the season are rightfully acclaimed the title holders. Their record is far su¬ perior to that of the next plače team. During the season’s schedule they have lost but tvo games out of some tventy and in the finals, they dropped the second game making a total of only three defeats. Makovic and Habian the batteries, have vork- ed smoothly ali year round. Barbič and Pavlovič have led the Pioneers at bat. Beljan, Anslov and Yurkovich, infield- ers, have alvays vorked in per¬ fect harmony, vhile Spretnak, Meehan and Metz have taken čare of the outfield, in a neat manner.

GERBEC^« Library Program As a Girl First Witnessed a Boxing Show "SH; A large through of an earnest,’ set-faced humanity had already filled the auditorium, and as the lights v/ere being disnmed for the opening bout, a silence en- sued from the audienee which was at once hypnotie and dis- concerting. Reflecting my own attitude, I felt for a moment that v6 had ali come upon troubled waters and were now to be forever čast forth into outer darkriess. The green pea in the fairy tale thought that the whole world was going green until she looked about her, and as my reporterk corner held no roseate glow, I vaguely began to realize that the boxing show was no aesthetic plan, but really a diffi- cult problem involving ali pha- ses of škili, physical prowess and a generous supply of fast think- ing. Sans c.eremony, simply and nonchalantly, the fighters en- tered the ring and at once set upon each other. They remind- ed me of huge engines at a sta- tion, thfobbing with imprisoned energy. The lips vere set in a thin rugged line and the eyes were glassy as they stared un- sensitively from their sockets, surveying each other unflinch- ingly and unhesitatingly. One gloved fist was continually on guard to ward off any blows that the opponent would sena, while the whole body was so ad- justed as to instantaneously re- bound at any encounter. With agile velocity they met each other in a lightning succession of repartness, striking blows on the face, on the arms, on the bared chest and back, until they were locked together and the ever alert referee bade them separate. There was the startagem of the panther in the cunning bend of the body and the swift feet that kept dancing to an unsung tune; there was the adroitness of the eagle as it swoops for its prey in the gloved fists that beat so unmercifully on the bodies; there was the persever- ance, the doggedness, the strength of the lion defending the title as the king of his do- main. At first there was a sluggish response from the audienee, but as the fighting became more in- tense, the cheers became more animated until they were tre- mendousIy enthusiastic and rose into a flamboyant approbation, and then like a cadence, subsi- ded again until the following bout was begun. My seat was very close to the ring and I distinctly heard the heavy thud of bodies as they sometimes fell on the floor, the soft, almost indistinct moan tnat sometimes escaped from tired lips, and saw the pathetic ex- pressions on the faces of the fallen heroes. I cringed inwardly every time a hard blow was dealt and I sat there miserable to the core wishing bopefully that I could do something to alleviate the pain, that heavy sense of vear- iness that enshrouded some of the unlucky contenders as they lav on tho floor while the un- merciful referee crouched over A «* them, crying out seconds. DISCUSS PLANS FOR FALL At the last meeting of the K. K. Klub, Misses Mary Turk, Rose Lausche, Mae Bomback the warning’ ! and Marie Kmett were elected to serve in the capacities of Farewell Party Perhaps I have a yellow streak located somewhere in my cran- ial substratum. Perhaps, I felt first time I attended a boxing show, but I believe that it, is really because I am only a vom- an. On the whole, however, since I dismissed the shut-up-in-my- ovn.point-of-viev attitude, I gained a valuable impression as I diseriminated, in my weak fashion, the tremendous energy, tempered vith pugilistic art, ex- pended by the modern knight of the ring. president, vice-president and treasurer, secretary and publi- city secretary for the ensuing year. Plans were discussed for the pfivate dance which will be held Saturday evening, November 21 at the National Home, Holmes avenue, upper hali. 4 The Three Musketeers have promised to play the dance tunes fot the evening. CELEBRATE AT K. K. KOTTAGE Misses Rose Skebe, Rose Laus¬ che and Sophie Walland were hostesses at a party held Satur- day evening, October 10, at the Klever Kid Kottage at Mentor, Ohio. About fifty friends attended, who at the same time celebrated the birthday of Miss Frances Walland and Mr. Eddie Kuhel. The Zimmerman and Smith accordion and banjo duet fur nished the mušic and a most delicious luncheon was served, consisting of ham on buns, re- lish, nut bread, cruller and re- freshments. After a hilarious nite, the guests left for home at dawn. “SOČA” TO HOLD VEČER” ZABAVNI Ivan Cankar honored tvo of its very active members, Mr. and Mrs. Louis F. Trugar vith a farewell party at one of the club rooms of the National Home, Saturday evening, October 10. Mr. Louis Trugar has recently been appointed secretary of the Comeback Mining Co., and will make his new home in Pioneers- ville, Idaho. cBeautj Hints JUGOSLAV SLOVENE CLUB HIKE Soča is one of the oidest sing ing societies in Collinwood. The excellent chorus of singers boasts of a membership of sixty mixed voices. The rehearsals are held every Thursday eve¬ ning and since the members srk¬ ali active in the community, they have already successfully spon- sored many concerts and enter- tainments that were enjoyed by everyone who attended. For November 14, the group is planning a “Zabavni večer” vhich will be held at the Slo- vene Home on Holmes avenue. upper hali. The bids are sell- ing for only 50c and will include supper and dancing. A popular accordion and ban¬ jo trio vili furnish the mušic for the occasion. It is expeeted that a large crowd will attend. Last Friday, October 9, the Ju- goslav Slovene Club met at the Cleveland Museum of Art vhere they spent a very interesting hour under the direction of Miss Helen Gillchrist who has been nature councellor for four years at Mary Eells camp at Madison- on-the-Lake. Her lecture, espeeially on as- tronomy, proved that she was a master in the Science, but the club members added to her knowledge the fact that the star “Vega” was named after a Slo¬ vene mathematician. The group is planning a day trip with Miss Gillchrist some time during the winter months. TOMATO RELISH The following is the tomato relish recipe that was promised so manv of the readers. The re¬ lish is' very handy to have in the pantry, and really very delicious. Chop 1 pečk green tomatoes 1 lb. onions, three red and three green peppers, add one cup of salt and let stand for two hours. For the vinegar mixture, mix 2 qts. vinegar, iy 2 lbs. sugar, 3 tablespoons of mustard seed, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1 tablespoon of celery seed. Add water . to taste. When boiling, add to this vinegar mixture the drained tomatoes and continue to boil hard for 10 minutes. Keep hot but not boiling while eanning.

They belong to the group which organized Ivan Cankar. Mr. Tru¬ gar has also served in the cap- acity of a vell-esteemed and well~liked instruetor of the sen¬ ior classes of the Slovene School for one year. MORE ABOUT THAT PINOCHLE GAME Another little party was held at the home of Miss Bertha De¬ dec!:, 9909 Parkview avenue, and this time we put it in “poetry.” Those present were Misses Rose Saunders, Anne Gerbec, Margaret Rebic and Bertha De- dick. The game is progressing slow but sure and we challenge any other ‘pinochlers’ to a gamo. “Rosie” is just learning “Ann” knows the game quite vreli “Bertha” does the coaching And Margaret rings the beli. It’s rcaily very thrilling Ali you “meld” to mention To bid sky high and v/in the game Is everyone’s intention. So we played until “small hours” And had a lovely time “Double pinoclile” no one had But for that we didn’t pine. Mr. Jos.

Frank Som¬ rak, John Marn, Frank Plut, leaders in the Slovene cultural endeavor. A most interesting lecture will be given by Elliott A. Kordick, Atty., on the lost Diptychon of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Za¬ greb, Jugoslavia, Tuesday eve¬ ning, October 20 at the St. Clair Library, E. 55 Street and St. Clair avenue. Story of the Diptychon The Diptychon is an ivo.ry tablet used in church Services. It is of Flemish origin and dates j^ack to the eleventh or twelfth century. About three years ago it was stolen from St. Stephen’s cathedral by a syndicate of thieves. One of the members of the syndicate posed as a count and lived in Zagreb nearly two years, gaining the confidence of the custodian, and substituted a duplicate model of the origin¬ al at the church. The original was sold to o New York dealer who in turn sold it to the Cleveland Museum of Art. It happened that later an Englishman persuaded s the church authorities to put what they thought the genuine Dip- tychon on the market. They came to the same New York dealer who said that it was a counterfeit, and that he had sold the original to the Cleve¬ land Museum of Art. This is the \vay the church dis- covered that a fraud had been perpetrated.

TAKEN ILL Miss Molly Terček, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Terček, 15621 Holmes avenue was taken to Glenville hospital where she submitted to an operation The external layer of the skin is made up of very many scale- like celiš packed very closely to¬ gether. These outer-most celiš are dead and are continually shed from the body. Dirt closes the oil glands and perspiratory glands, since the latter are con- tinually pouring their secretions upon the sur face of the body. To remove this waste accumula- tion it is very desirable that bathing be made a regular and daily habit. Bathing is Service able not alone because of the removal of the dirt, but because of the reflex, stimulating effects upon the nervous system. The warm bath is essentially a cleansing bath. The heat causes dialation of the skin ves sels with resulting redness of the skin and inerease in perspira tion. It produces relaxation of the muscles and is particularly beneficial after fatiguing labor. Bathing in c old water is be_ coming more and more popular, due largely to the pronounced beneficial effects. It should be performed in the morning on arising because of its stimula¬ ting action. It serves as an ef- fective protection against colds and has marked wholesome ef¬ fects upon the general health. promoting appetite, digestion of foods, and improved mental ac- tivity. It may seem hard to take cold baths after one has become accustomed to varm baths. If one starts the habit in the sum- mertime, day in and day out, in several months the habit will be fairly started, and after a year’s experience the body vili have become so accustomed to the refreshing and stimulating reaction that the habit could hardly be given up at ali. —Lodi Mandel, Ph.
