Good Advice.

ARE cold morning baths healthful? Physicians say they are for those systems that can stand the shock. Altho a layman, I have made health a specialty, and in my judgment there are two imperative morning calls for recognition, bowels and bath. Few people know that all bodily wastes are poisons. The kidneys, bowels, and pores are the safeguards of health, and two-thirds, if not three-fourths, of our troubles come from wantonly clogging them. The most besottedly ignorant are young girls. A young girl will eat anything at any time. Too ethereal to have stomach and bowels, she advertises her ignorance in dyspepsia and nerves and headache. Food is literal fuel, carbon; the oxygen in the breath, coming in contact with the blood, burns out and carries off the poisonous carbonic acid in expirations. So truly is food fuel that if a man's stomach could digest coal, coal would sustain life. Never use a cheap soap. It clogs the pores. Don't have plants in your bedroom. By night, plants exhale carbonic acid; by day they absorb it. Keep plants in your living room, never in your sleeping room.—News Letter.
