It forms a protective cover- ing for the body—keeping more deli- cate tissues from beitig injured— preventing poisons and _ disease germs from entering the body. It is an organ of feeling, covering sensory nerves. The skin also assists in regulating the heat of the body. The last but perhaps the most important duty which the skin performs is to assist the lungs and ee in excreting water from the iy: This throwing out of liquid in the form we know as sweat has as its object the elimination of toxins as well as a means through which ex- cessive amounts of internal heat or radiation are eliminated. On some portions of the body there are as many as 2,500 openings, or pores, to the square inch of skin. These are the mouths of the sweat glands through which the sweat is poured out from the blood. One could live but a short time if the pores could be completely stopped so that the sweat, containing bodily wastes, could not be eliminated. Those suffering from various dis- orders 2lways have a definite odor to the diseasc, These skin odors are especially strong if not enough baths are taken, as the poisons de- | posited upon the skin become foul and rancid and not only block the pores but are unquestionably to some extent re-absorbed. When one understands the excre- tory functions of the skin, it is necessary to see how the skin must be kept healthy to insure general bodily health.

Our country can prosper only in By HON. FRANK H. REID Chairman of the House Food Con- trol Committee ten Especially for The Tribune Washington, May 11.—The prin- cipal issue in controversy in connec- ticn with flood control legislation is whether the United States govern- ment shall require the local inter- ests in the Mississippi valley to con- tribute to the cost of the work of preventing the destructive floods of this vast interstate river. My posiion, and that of the pro- ponents of the bill just passed by the House of Representatives, is that the protection of life and prop- erty and the safe conduct of inter- state commerce, 2s well as the pro- tection of the mails, are the solemn obligation and duty of the govern- ment of the United States, and that there should be no provision for local contribution: in the bill if Con- gress really intended to protect the lives and property of its citizens from these destructive floods. If anyone asks why the federal government should be urged to take hold of this problem on a national scale and assume full responsibility for the time, labor and great cost involved in obtaining complete con- trol of the Mississippi river, surely it is sufficient to remind him that| proportion as our citizens prosper, the drainage basin of this great!and the misfortune of great num- river covers 41 per cent of the total| bers affects the fortune of the na- area of the United States, and the|tion.
