The Burlingame Independent Osage County Thursday April 15, 1886 Bathing. The man who doesn't habitually wash himself all over isn't a pleasant man to live in the same house with. He--He--, well, the subject is not a pleasant one, and we won't get any closer to it. It is not what the ladies call "nice" to wear any of the same clothing at night that one does in the day time. Wives, have ready for your men clean, cool night garments. Farmers, when the day's work is over and you are ready to retire, wash your bodies thoroughly all over. Give yourself a good scrubbing in plenty of soap and water. The farmer who will go to bed with the dust and perspiration of the day still upon him is not fit to sleep in a bed. He is not in fact a civilized human being. No! Off with your fixings and take a good bath. Then you will smell as sweet and sleep as sound as a clean baby. You will rise in the morning feverless and in good temper, ready to do a solid day's work.

This was an interesting article to read...Hope everyone could read back in 1886...lol Jim, your articles are so great. Even if they aren't a relative to me, I read everyone... Thanks for your kindness and help...
