Woman of the Twentieth Cen tury Sweater than I heir Ances tor*. Statistics prove that tbe men and women of to-dav iar exceed tbeir ancestors ia health, clean liness and sweetness. Physical culture is practiced br so many in tbeir own homes, that nature works like e well oiled machine. Outdoor exercise, where practic •Mft ,*• indulged in frequently. Rubbing ana bqthing makes them clean, and white odorless powder is dusted on the body or clothiag to prevent any an pleas-, ant odora which arise from the body. It is a disagreeable com bination to ose perfumes to try to conceal perspiration or other odora, so a well known and re putable firm has placed this powder on the market. Women of refinement esc it sftet the bath or when changing garments, and the result is that women ware sever so sweet as to-day, It Is but natural that their dispo sition should be brighter for they aye not in constant Iter tbeir acquaintances will discover that they are afflicted with bodily odora and thus shun tbeir so ciety. Men too, are happier, for whet lady cares to associate with a man whose toilet seems to be neglected. No nutter bow frequently one bathes, tbe odora are sure to arise, unless this powder has been dusted on the clothing or body.
