A. Bathing of the body is essential.
1. Pores in skin filled with dirt and perspiration bring about an unhealthy condition. This stoppage does not allow wastes to escape from the body. By washing skin the pores are opened and cleansed and the body wastes are easily thrown off. Show pores in back of hand.
2. Wash inside of body by drinking water. When exercising, the skin throws off water as perspiration through pores of the skin. The body needs water to replace this loss.
B. Show “Mary and Bess Poster.” (See opposite page.)
9. Give out tags.
7. Place stars on chart.
  1. The following stories would be good material to read for this lesson:

    “The Cruise of the Ivory Ship,” Proctor & Gamble Co., Cincinnati, Ohio.

    “The Story of The Bath,” Domestic Engineering Co., 1900 Prairie Ave., Chicago, Ill.

    Both these stories can be obtained at a nominal cost.
