«>• Proper Work of the Seven Million
Pores In the Skin—Benefits of Healthy
Perspiring — Effectiveness of Turkish
Baths—How to Keep in Good Condition.
The generality of people enjoy much
better health during summer than in
winter/ This is unquestionably the rule
with those of sedentary occupations who
are denied sufficient exercise. Probably
the principal reason is that during the
warm season the skin is much the most
active, and sweating is always more or
less profusu Perhaps it is too- much to
say that those who do not sweat easily
and often cannot be healthy; but it cer
tainly would be better for all could they
by some means—the best is exercise—
manage to work themselves into a per
spiration every day.
TWENTY-FIVE MILES OF DRAINAGE.
It is roughly estimated that there are
7,000,000 pores in the skin which open on
its surface. ! They are a very large part
of the body’s sewerage system; and
some one with patient calculation has
reached the solution that these pores are
sluice gates for over twenty-five miles
of drainage. It is very evident that
health largely depends upon the good
working condition of this drainage sys
tem, and if the outlets—the pores—are
blocked up, the waste matters must be
diverted into other channels.
Other avenues — notably tlio bowels
and kidneys—have been provided by na
ture for the discharge of waste from the
system, but they have sufficient work of
their own to do and, while they would
patiently respond for a time to any extra
demands upon them, sooner or later, un
less relieved of the unusual burden, they
would shows signs of distress, and be
come so crippled they would no longer
be able to perforin properly even their
own legitimate work. The waste which
should be thrown off through the skin
cannot be entirely diverted and sent out
through other channels; much of it must
remain locked up in the system.. When
its natural outlet is obstructed, some of it
permeates the tissues of the body, enters
the blood, and is distributed about in the
system, and so produces diseases of vari
ous kinds.
By frequent bathing the pores are
kept fairly well opened, hut it will be
clear to all that the little tabes can only
be kept perfectly free by frequent flush
ing. When a person gets into a good
sweat the outflow is considerable and
the channels are well washed out. If
that salutary process takes 'place every
day, and the body is duly cleaned by
one or two baths a week, in that direc
tion at least about all is being done
which can be done to keep the skin ac
tive and healthy. Daily exercise, to meet
all requirements, should be carried far
enough to produce quite a free perspira
tion. < ,
It is undeniably a fact that a very large
proportion of the i^Ls which man suffers
from are due .to obstruction in the skin
system of drainage. That fault is almost
always present in those who take cold
easily and in those who are victims to
neuralgia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia, bil
iousness,. gout, etc. And this class is
largely made up of people who live in
active or sedentary lives. Were this
liability of the system to choke up with
waste fuUy appreciated by people gen
erally, and means to bhviat© it conscien
tiously taken, infinitely less medicine
would be needed in the world than is
now used.
the bath!s the thing.
Where sufficient exercise cannot be
taken to obviate the defect, the next best
means is the hot air bath. . Such a bath
can, of course, be taken - in one’s own
home, something after the same method
as the old fashioned rum sweating pro
cess, But any domestic arrangement
must he incomplete in the absence of the
shower bath, the hapd rubbing, etc. All
the essentials are found ip the Turkish
bath, which some physicians have even
gone so far as to say is the most power
ful and certain,.and at the same time the
safest and most agreeable therapeutic
agents in existence. One of them quite
rightly says that a person can remove as
much of the poisonous and effete matter
from the body in one hour in a Turkish
bath as can be removed by other means
in twenty-four hours.’ In this form of
bath, as Professor Erasmus Wilson says,
. “the skin acquires color,- freshness, firm
ness and elasticity; it. loses the muddy
and faded hues of ill health and the
parched and wrinkled aspect of infirm
ity and age, and .it procures for the
habitual bather exercise, health and
life.” - As for the effects of the Turkish
bath upon the disordered fiver and kid
neys, they are very marked indeed. Not
only does it lift no smaU part of their
. work f and so give them a chance to re
cuperate, but it draws the blood from
them to the surface of the body, and so
relieves congestion, and, hence, obviates
a strong tendency to disease.
Turkish baths are efficient in reducing
weight; therefore, it *is held that they
are contra-indicated for those who are
filin'- But, strange as it may seem, they
act both ways. Where a person i3 what is
sp aptly termed “soft and flabby,” and is
overloaded with fat, they reduce him;
whereas a person in poor health and
thin, they, by restoring the system to a
normal condition, increase the bodily 1
weight.—Boston Herald.
Yesterday afternoon was the time set
apart for the individual prize drill of
the University cadets.
Notwithstanding the fall in the tem-
peratnre and sharp easterly wind, a
large crowd gathered on the eam-
pus.
At 5 o’clock the company marched on
the grounds, commanded by Captain
Willcoxon, and took their places. The
. uilges, consisting of Capt. C. G. Tal-
uiade, Capt. John Hoffe ’ Hull,
Messrs, Giiy Hamilton and
Harry Charbonnier, walked out in front
of the company, and the drill com
menced, the commands given by Col.
Snelling. /
The company drilled five minutes,
and were given a rest, during which
time the judges decided upon the men
\yho had made mistakes, and after the
company had been called to attention
again," they were thrown out. Only a
few members had retired to the rear,
when the command “load” was given,
and promptly executed by every cadet
except Sergeant Arkwright and private
Harrington. They held their place at
carry arms.
The judges decided that the two ca
dets were right, as the command “load’
had been previously given, and the
guud were supposed to have been load
ed, so the remainder of the company-,
some fourteen cadets were thrown out.
Cadets Herrington and Arkwright w r ere
then drilled together, and cadet Her
rington was thrown out on the same
command. This gave Mr. C. A. Scud-
der’s gold headed cane to Sergeant Ark
wright. .
The drill was mest interesting, and
was watched with interest by the spec
tators. ?

THE ALUHNI REUNION.
Attention University Men—Send in Your
Names.
There still seems to be an impression
upon the minds of some, that the ban
quet, to he given on the 18th of this
month, is to be confined to the gradu
ates of thS University. ‘
This is not the case; all trustees, all
members of the faculty, all old students
whether graduates or hot—in short all
those who have been connected with
old Franklin college or the University,
are entitled to seats lit the Alumni ban
quet—strictly speaking it is'a reunion
of college men, which means all those
who may hate been identified with the
past history of the University of Geor
gia.
The committee’would* most respect
fully urge all who may expect to at
tenil tlie banquet, to send their names
and contributions to A. L. HuH, treas
urer, at once. The banquet is to be
served in set courses,'and it is essen
tial that seats be assigned beforehand
for each one.
It will be very embarrassing to
the committee if they should be called
upon,-during the last week, to provide
seats for more than they had expepted
While the committee are, in no sense
the hosts of those who may come; yet
being charged with the duty of provid
ing the feast, they feel that they are en
titled to timely notice, from all those
who may expect to attend. Very Be3
spectfully,

Petit larceny seems to he in full blast
in the city, and it seems almost impos
sible to catch up with the thieVes. A
few nights * ago some one entered
Prince avenue residence, and carried
off a pair of window curtains and Other
articles.' The family was aroused about
this time, and the burglar made good
his escape- ,
- On Friday night about 1 o’clock,foot
steps were heard on fop of the back
piazza, of M,rs. S. C. Reeses’ residence
lie W'oukl go,first to one window and
then to another, and tried his test-16
open the shutters. The noise at last
aroused the entire family., Mr. 3I.oNeir,
a gentleman hoarding at' the hduse,
ran out in the yard, and as he passed
through the back door, heard the quick
footsteps On the piazza roof,” as if some'
one was running over thfe i top. He
seized a rock and threw it'at^the bur
glar, and it is thought hit’ him in the
back. ‘ Mr. Cohen, another boarder,
seized a-Winchester rifle and shot in
the same direction. It is' thought: that
the wenld-he burglar ran to the other
side of the porch, and climbed down
tree,“and thus made good ^his es-
cape. "IHPPP
The family was very much alarmed,
as the thief was bold, and seemed bent
on entering the house.
The police Svere caUed, and put on
the trail, and will make it hot for the
thief.-*' ‘
Citizens had better take warning, and
keep their -premises locked at night,
the city is too large for the night force
-to patrol every street, but any tele
phone call at headquarters will be
promptly answered.
