The bath consists of a cabinet,
which may be built' for fitting In
or lying In. The square cabinet occupies
comparatively little space, and may stand
la one corner of the bathroom. The oblong
cabinet takes up considerable room, but It
Is preferable to the square one, as the oo
cupant can lie at full length and relax coin
fortably. One hundred Incandescent electric light
bulbs, each of slxteen-candle power, line
the Interior of the cabinet. Spaces are left
between for beveled mirrors and reflectors,
so that thousands of rays are multiplied
and focused on the occupant of the cabl-'
net. These direct and reflected rays, argue
tho exponents of the new bath, are con
centrated on the body and penetrate Into
the deepest tissues, thereby stimulating
all the vital forces.
The oblong cabinet has a sliding table on
rollers, which is pulled out for the bather
tl lie on. This Is padded, has a sheet on it
and a pillow. After the bather Is in po
sition an attendant pushes the "table" Into
the cabinet, leaving the head outside. This
enables the bather to Inhale fresh air con
stantly. It Is not absolutely necessary to have
assistance In taking the bath, for a clever
person can manipulate the electrlo buttons
before entering the cabinet; and In the
case of the obiong one he can enter by the
aperture, taking extra care not to hit the
body against the bulbs. However, it is
more comfortable to have someone assist
In the process, turning the lights on gradu
ally until the bather perspires freely.
This result is, of course, accomplished
much quicker with some people than with
others, but after one or two baths, when
the pores are thoroughly opened, from
three 'to five minutes will be required-to
accomplish what It takes from fifteen to
twenty minutes to do In a Turkish bath.
The temperature In the cabinet ranges
from 100 degrees to 110 degrees Fahrenheit,
depending on the duration of the bath. The
Turkish hotrooms range from 140 degrees
to ISO degrees Fahrenheit.
Agricultural stations have experimented
with the electric light and have found that
It stimulates the vital functions of both
plant and animal life. It Is, therefore,
argued that it cannot be otherwise than
beneficial when used on the human body,
ven If the subject Is In perfect health.
Many society women claim that they owe
their good complexions to electric light
bathing, which clears their sallow skins
when they become worn out by too much
gaiety.
Hovel Use for Old Shoes.
TFrRTVrv housewife has dlscov-
I ered a new una for old shoes.
k I oh, mnltM Tim out of them.
For this purpose she saves alt
her old shoes her husband's, the
children's and her own. Even though the
oles, toes and back seams are worn be
yond redemption, that does not matter, as
only the uppers are of use In making rugs.
As fast as the shoes are discarded, It
will be a good plan to cut the tops off, and
after cleaning them lay them carefully
away in a box for future nse. The under
may then be thrown away to avoid unnec
essary accumulation.
The first step Is to cut a pattern dia
mond, star, square, oblong or right angte
triangle. If the latter la desired. It Bhou'd
measure four lnchen along the straight
sides. Two triangles can be cut from each
shoe top. To make a rug 22x3t inches will
require the uppers from eighteen pairs of
shoes.
For the center of the rug purchase a
piece of leather about fourteen Inches
square from the cobbler or harnessmaker.
On this outline the words, "What la Homo
Without a Rug?" three words to the top
line, one to the second and the remaining
two to the last line. Then proceed to cut
out the letters. It will be a good plan to
draw the letters on paper, basting this
guide down to the leather and cutting
through both the paper and leather with
a sharp knife. Care must be taken to
leave sOU at the leather uncut at Intervals,
or nothing except a hole will be left when
the cutting Is finished.
To lace the leather together purchase eye
lets like those used in shoes, for 25 cents
a box. One box contains several hundred
eyelets. By means of an awl punch holes
in the leather strips and fasten the eyelets
at the same time. Or, if eyelets are not
desired, merely punch holes with an awl
and lace the strips together with shoe
strings. Finish with a fringe of shoe
strings. Line the entire rug with bright
red broadcloth or flannel, slashing all the
edges to the depth of three Inches for on
under-fringe. The red will look pretty un
der the laces and lettering, and the rug
will last a lifetime.
Girl Breaks Ik World's Record.
prOLL.E E women's record for the
I M I 100-yard dash was lowered last
1 I week bv a Jollet. 111., society girl. ;
Miss Laufta Clement, who covered
the distance In 13 1-6 seconds at
the annual field day events at Wellesley
college.
It Is stated that this wonderful showing,'
which smashed the former woman's world's '
record of 14 2-6 seconds, could have been
lowered by the young woman were It not
for the fact that she was handicapped by
bloomers.
The costumes worn by men and women
sprinters make a difference in speed of at
least two seconds In favor of the men. In
the opinion of the girl champion's father,
Arthur C. Clement of Jollet.
If the women could overcome the handi
cap. Vise Clement's father says she could
clip two seconds from her present record.
"And you know that the fellow who can
run 100 yards In 10 2-5 seconds can go around
the country and make a lot of money," said
Mr. Clement
Although displeased with the publicity
given the matter, Mr. Clement who Is on
of the wealthiest men In northern Illinois,
had every confidence In her ability.
Miss Clement who Is a striking brunette,
and one of the leading athletes at Welles
ley, 20 years old, having Just entered the
freshman class. She graduated from the
Jollet High school In 1901, and took a one
year post graduate course before entering
Wellesley. In the high school she was con
sidered one of the best basket ban players
In the history of the Institution and she
was welcomed by the athletic set at Welles
ley. Although she had no Intention of compet
ing In the field day events, the gymnasium
Instructors decided to fit her for the sprint
ing events, with the result that she shat
tered the Vaasar record.
Her feat aroused great enthusiasm In tho
fashionable school, and upon returning to
her room she found it filled wilh roses, car
' nations and chrysanthemums placed thero
by her schoolmate admirers.
Athletics for Girls.
KVELOPMENT of a fondness for
athletics among girls," says tho
Saturday Evening Post, "has been
a noteworthy feature of life In
this country during tho last dec
D
ade and It Is not strange that It should be
attended by manifestations of misdirected
energy and bad taste. From anxious moth
ers, from teachers - and from physicians,
earnest protests are being made against tho
tendency to encourage girls to think that
they are just as well adapted to the ath
letic life as boys are.
"As to the adaptability of girls to physi
cal exercise, there Is something to say on
both sides, but the weightier opinion on
the part of physicians seems to bo that
the girl is so different from the boy In
temperament and constitution that though
a moderate amount of exercise of the right
kind and under the right conditions Is
Immensely beneficial, excessive training,
overexertion, and tho Influences of pub
licity are detrimental to her physical and
mental well-being.
"All this ought to bo sufficiently obvious
to any Intelligent person who stops to
reason about the matter. The trouble is
that when athletics for girls became tho
fashion tho majority of parents did not
stop to reason about, bat allowed their
daughters to do as the other girls did; and
there were always enough girls of indo
pomdoal Ideas to take tfc load aa4 sot
an example that the others were only too
ready to follow.
"A reaction against this state of things
was sure to come, however, and It has al
ready begun. Even banket ball a game
supposed to be particularly suited to glrla
has come under the ban. Miss Lucille
Eaton Hill, director of physical training in
Wellesley college. Is convinced that com
petitive athletic contests for young girls,
and especially Interscholastlc banket ball
matches, are exceedingly Injurious to the
players physically and tend to 'a general
lowering of the standards of womanly reti
cence and refinement.' Miss Hill has been
studying the conditions of athletics for
girls in some of the New England schools
and she finds a great deal to condemn. In
one school the girls had formed an associ
ation and were training themselves in run
ning and Jumping with the aid of boy
coaches and without supervision by the
school authorities.
"The moral of all this is that if parents
desire their daughters to be given the
right sort of physical training to fit them
for lives of usefulness and honor, they
must see that the task Is entrusted to com
petent Instructors."
Since "crinoline days
wise women have kept their com
plexions smooth and flawless with
Woodbury's
Facial
Carries off" all impurities; brings back the
soft, delicate bloom.
