NOJOURNERS at the seashore al
ways return TO their winter hauntB
with really heartrending tales OF
sunburn and the sufrerings It has
caused. particularly among little chill
dren. II would seem that even the most
careful and thoughtful Of mothers for
get that the first few days by the sea
are needed to acclinate the newcomer.
and that during these days, II the sun
IS allowed 10 have It's way. the worst
burns may ensue. Even when this has
happened-when baby legs and arms are
raw and sore-some mothers do not
think It necessary TO cure the burns.
They regard It as natural that the skin
should peel; yet this is not the case at
all, for bad attacks of sunburn have
been known 20 end In blood poisoning
surely a result that every one would
fain avoid.
So this summer. II you are st tho
Beashore. or II you are intending to so
there with the children. I want TO tell
you OF several remedies that you may
use. both 10 prevent and to cure painful
burns made by old King Sol. our best
friend IN the winter and very nearly
our enemy in the summer.
SHOULD BE SEASONED
When you arrive by the sea let the
children wear long stockings at first so
their skin may become accustomed to
salt breezes and slightly hardened TO
their briny force. After this put them In
short socks. II you want to, but watch
them carefully that. at the first sign Of
a burn, they may receive attention.
Burns that hurt slightly, yet where
the skin Is not broken, may be covered
with a paste OF bicarbonate OF soda
and water or vaseline. This viii re-
Mere the pain at once and will soon cure
the burn. too. But for more severe
burn, when the skin IS broken and the
surface IS raw, a more effective balm is
needed. and the best is inseed oil and
Imewater. to be mopped on with alb
Borbent cotton. This may sting for a
moment. but the fever will be banished
by the limewater. while the linseed oil
will soon form a new skin. This Is a
safe remedy, and one that VIII save
much future suffering.
For burns which are blistered and al
most bleeding a bandage is absolutely
necessary. as the wounds must be kept
clean or some germ of septicemia might
find q tiny foothold- Cover all the af-
ficted parts carefully with the linseed
oil and limewater and then bandage
them thoroughly but loosely. II the legs
are burnt badly It is safest to keep the
patient lying in some cool spot. for
sometimes the result OF a comparatively
simple case Of sunburn is quite serious.
So much for the care OF the children
during the first days at the sea. But
mother. too. must come In for her
share Of advice, for while she may not
burn so severely she will dread the in
creaslng tan even more. To protect the
face from burning and frecklinE a yell
