SUN Baths.
Sun baths cost nothing and IRE the
most refreshing, life giving baths that
sone can take, whether sick or well.
Every housekeeper knows the neces.
sity OF giving her woolens the benefit
OF the sun from time to time, and espe-
cially after a long rainy season or a
long absence of the sun. Many will
think Of the injury their clothes are
liable to from dampness who will new.
err reflect that an occasional exposure
of their own bodies to the sunlight Is
equally necessary to their own health.
The sun baths do not cost anything,
and that Is misfortune, for people
are still deluded with the idea that
those things only can be good or useful
which cost money. Let it not be for
gotten that three of Gods most benefl-
cent gifts to man (three things most
necessary to good healthy, sunlight,
fresh air and water, are free to all.
You can have them In abundance, with
out money and without price, If you
will II you would enjoy good health
then see to it that you are supplied
with pure mir to breathe oil the time,
that you battle for an hour or SO in the
sunlight and that you drink plenty OF
pure water.-Pittsburg Press.
