(1.50 p.m.) LONDON, April 26. “Pleasant as it is to have a daily bath, it is not really necessary for health,” said Lord Maugham, speaking in the House of Lords during a debate on rural water supplies, and added: “Many of our lads who have returned from Africa had not had a bath for three months and they tell you they are none the worse. A bath is very largely a luxury and water-closets are really not cessary in many rural places.”
