I often, till people that it is quite possible for them to wash themselves dirty. They remove so much of the protecting so face that they give the dirt a real chance of getting into their skins."
Dr. Clarke recommends as a substitute for a bath a folded towel, wetted in the centre and passed rapidly all over the body. This will open the pores sufficiently without entailing any shock.
A representative of the London Daily Express who sought the opinions of health experts could find no one to agree entirely with Dr. Clarke.
Mr. Eustace Mile.ev went so far as to say that as a nation we wash far too little.
There is, of course, some truth in the
theory," he said, "that the skin has certain protective powers that are weakened by too much washing, and the same thing applies to too much drinking of water.
But to-day the bodies of most people are clogged and poisoned, and sensible washing warm water and pure soap, followed with by cold water to give a reaction and dry friction, will probably do more good than harm. It may weaken the protective power of the skin, but it will remove
refuse. Professional theories are mostly based on no insufficient study of people as they are. Just as we are called an athletic people cout, are really athletic, although less than 5 per Bo we are called a washing people. As a matter of fact, I suppose that far less than half of our total population washes thoroughly once in two days."
MR. SANDOYW'S VIEW.'.
The "cold tub" was warmly defended by Mr. Sandow.
"I have proved conclusively," he said, "that in the case of 90 per cent. of Englishmen the
cold tub is highly beneficial.
The cold tub is not cleansing-it is not. supposed to be but the repction which it brings

should take hot baths, followed by a cold douche,

or spray, to give the necessary reaction:
I do not agree with the anggestion that the
nation washes too much.
If we lived like savages, absolutely unclothed with daily sen and air baths, there would be no need for so many ablations. But with oar clothing and the general conditions of a busy life, our skins are bound to become clogged with a certain amount of dirt."
A proprietor of Turkialf Baths described Dr. Clarke's
crusade against washing as "sheer NOBRAUSE.
"Dr. Clarke is right when he says that the dark rolls which some of the body after a scrub "But with these are dead skin cells," he said.

But at this pro pitions occasion of the promulgation of the Im- perial Bescript, it is considered highly desirable that our business men be persuaded to come Into unson and war one another to use only fair meine in the pursuit of wealth and promotion of industry, always bearing in mind that the first principle of business is to soquire onedit by honesty and diligence, and thus to make an epoch of improved morality in the history of our commercial and industrial progress.
