TAKING AN AIR BATH
An Opportunity Given to Allow the
SUln to Dreiithe
It must be remembered that we rare
ly if ever give our skin the opportunity
to breathe properly Our perverted
condition in regard to heavy unventi
lated and very often restricted clothing
has given us a skin that is constantly
moist clammy and cold to the touch
or else it is dry and dead and can be
rubbed off by the hand with little ef
fort Restricted clothing not only dam
ages the lungs and internal vital or
gans of the body but causes the circu
lation to the skin to become stagnant
and poor A great many ills that we
do not understand are caused by the
unhygienic practice of smothering the
skin
Give your body an air bath Reani
mate your skin This is a splendid
time to begin the habit of doing so
since a cold need not be feared at
this time of the year and you will
strengthen the skin against the more
severe season Exposure and drafts
against the body is a superstition more
or less The writer has often stood be
fore a cold draft taking an air bath in
winter and the practice has yielded a
days tonic to the body that cannot be
explained but must be tried upon ones
own person to be understood and appre
ciated
Open your windows wide and exer
cise until the pores have become awak
ened Then let the cool fresh morning
air play upon your body lying down if
you desire It will be a treat that you
will never want to miss again It acts
as a delightful tonic to the nerves
There is no better medicine for weak
nervous people than the air bath The
very blood tingles with the unaccus
tomed freedom of the body and its con
tact with the energizing air New York

Oratory In the Campaign
Oratory as a compelling force in a po
litical campaign is duly appreciated by
the party managers who are on the
lookout for every resource that will add
to their vote getting power The spell
binder who is clever enough to size up
the temper of his audience and who
knows just what to say to the ones
about him on any and all occasions is
supposed to be worth all his services
cost the campaign committee As a
student of the subject has put it the
most convincing address is one that has
profundity without obscurity perspicu
ity without prolixity ornament with
out glare terseness without barren
ness comprehension without digression
and a great number of other things
without a great number of other
things But a rare speaker with and
without all these things is a rare speci
men There is never enough of him to

approach to uniformity Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about thirty live years and for horned
cattle about thirty For the dog it is
given as twenty five while sheep

Loomls Wins Lonjr Fight
After just a third of a contury Russell
F Loomis of Red Willow county Ne
braska practically has won his right
against the technique of federal legality
It has required thirty three years for
this hard working farmer to perfect his
claim to a cortain piece of land part of
tio public school grant from the govern
ment in Red Willow county on which
ho settled May 28 1S72 and ho has not
absolutely consummated his deal yet
This remarkablo incident is recalled
by tho passage tho othor day by the
United States senate of a bill introduced
by Senator Dietrich authorizing the
secretary of tho interior to accept from
tho state of Nebraska a conveyance of
tho northeast quarter of section 50 in
tovnship 4 north in range 29 west
sixth principal meridian in Rod
Willow county to enable Mr Loomis
to perfect his entry and title to this land
under tho homestead laws of the United
States
This bill was introduced by Senator
Dietrich in anticipation of a bill pending
before the legislature of Nebraska author
izing tho governor to execute a deed of
relinquishment to tho federal govorment
of this land It is generally accepted
that tho bill will pass tho legislature
A counterpart of the bill was introduced
four years ngo passed and went to the
governor but it did not become a law
In 1903 tho same bill again was introduc
ed and killed Representative Hathorn
of Red Willow was the author of both
these billH and made valiant fights for
them This session Representative
Gliem who succeeds Dr Hathorn intro
duced tho bill and it is now in tho hands
of the claims committee
WHEKE THE CONFLICT COMES IN
Russell F Loomis settled on this land
before it was surveyed and platted lie
mado his entry under the homestead
laws of tho United States but because
his settlement rights conilicted with the
act of congress by which the Nebraska
constitution was enacted he was never
able to perfect his claim During all
these years Mr Loomis continued to re
side on this land He has mado it his
home continuallyhas invested hismoney
in improvements upon tho land and has
done everything to the end of establish
ing and maintaining a permanent home
there In tho bill which Dr Hathorn
two years ago pushed with such unceas
ing zeal and industry it was stated that
at that time he had 140 acres under culti
vation and improvements to the value of
S3000 The fight was a strenuous one
Able legislators had extreme difiiculty in
convincing their colleagues that the state
should step in and secure to this pioneer
the laud which he was unable to claim
under a perfected title and for a long
time entirely too long for the mental
comfort of Mr Loomis and his earnest
friends it seemed as if despite his long
years of tcil and hardship despite the
fact of hisblazing the way of civiliza
tion in Red Willow county and despite
his untiring efforts to secure for himself
and family this home they had earned
it seemed even after all these priva
tions and hardships that Mr Loomis
would not get the land But now there
is every reason to believe he will get it
The Dietrich bill providing for the ac
ceptance by the government of the relin
quishment has been passed and no
doubts are entertained but that the
Gliem bill providing for the relinquish
ment by the state will pass Omaha Bee

Women who see their beauty waning
rarely associate the external change
with failure of the womanly health
They do not understand the close rela

the health of the delicate womanly or
