Rome: At a Futurist "meeting recently hold in Milan and presided over by Signor Marinetti it was decided to found a "Society for the to Ma- Prevention of Cruelty chines," along the lines of the already existing "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." The object of the new society, which' at present is modestly called "Solidarity of Machine Protec- tion," is to safeguard the life and rhythm of machinery, and especial- ly of motors, "which are the most sociable of all machines."

Futurists have always regarded the machine as the most wonderful utilitarian conquest of humanity, and consider it "the synthesis of will which the new aesthetics, change the face of the earth by means of a Futuristic reconstruc tion of our planet, entirely geome trical, mechanical, artificial, and automatic."

In presenting his report to the Milan meeting, Signor F. Azari, the secretary of the Futurist move ment, said that the machine was destined "to redeem humanity from the slavery of manual labour and definitely to eliminato poverty and all traces of class struggle." The humanity of the future, Signor

HOT AND COLD BATHS FOR DISEASE.

AS STIMULANTS. Since the earliest times, water has been much used in the treat- ment of disease, including not only the hot and cold bath, but also special applications such as alter- nation, sudden sprays, continuous flow and similar modifications. The first action of either hot or cold water is probably stimulating, particularly if suddenly applied.

Surf bathing, as pointed out by Dr. Guy Hinsdale, is a helpful exercise, since it stimulates the body to react against the cold wa ter and the force of the wave. The secondary effect of a surf bath la to make the bather quite sleepy and to rest him greatly,

A bath ranging in temperature from 94 to 95 degrees fahrenheit is called an indifferent bath, since it does not place any toil upon the heat regulating apparatus of the body.

The carbonated water of the named for the Nauheim bath, springs in Germany, is a tonic bath, used particularly for its effects on the heart and blood ves- sels. These baths are not given unless under competent supervi sion, but they are gradually in- creasing in their use and are ap-
