HOW TO TAKE A SUN BATH
Treatment 10 Declared to Bs q Sure
cure for Many Varieties Of the
Ailments Of Humanity.

The sun bath is rapidly gaining
popularity. It was not unknown to
the Romans. who INDUCED in sun
baths to cure gout and rheumatism.
The buildings they erected in their
villas for the sunray treatment were
styled solariums.
All that 10 needed Is the sun; but
1t should not be allowed to beat down
upon the head. which should be cov-
cred. The prospective sun-bather
should get into an ordinary bathing
costume and lie down in q convenient
spot on = rug. Care should be taken
to secure q position well out Of the
wind. and. Of course. the body must
be moved about every ten minutes to
avoid undue burning Of any specific
part OF the anatomy. Also, q bath
should never by any chance last
longer than an hour Dizziness, ex-
IRENE excitement. even faintness will
be the inevitable result should this
warning be disregarded.
The sun bath Is said to be an al.
most tnfallible cure for certain skin
diseases. for undue corpulence and
rundown nerves.
Perhaps the cult Of the sun bath is
more popular at q small place near
Berlin, where the adherents OF the
new and simple cure have formed
themselves into an association.

from lnsietence on Old State
Claims, House Wins Victory.

Washington-The end of the second
session of the Sixty-second Congress
came as peacefully and quietly as the
tired statesmen on Capitol Hill could
make it. The desire to shake the hot
dust Of Washington from their feet
overcame the belligerency of the four
Senators who had been insisting upon
an appropriation to pay several State
claims, and they withdrew their fill
buster. The Senate also saw light
or the question of the Penrose resolu-
tion providing for a sweeping cam
paign contribution inquiry and this
went through without a dissenting
vote.
Both bodies adjourned without a
quorum, and all told, there were prob
ably less than hundred members OF
Congress at the Capitol when the
gavels fell The House marked time
all the afternoon, awaiting the surren-
der of the Senate on the general de-
ficiency bill, the tie-up on which pre-
vented adjournment Saturday night
and threatened for time to prolong
the session indefinitely.
In order to adjourn the Senate had
to make complete surrender on the
General Deficiency bill. The State
claims of Maryland, Virginia, Oregon,
and Texas for 100000, and the Sen
ate proposal to give every employe at
the Capitol an extra months pay,
amounting in the aggregate to $780,
900 more, were abandoned when 1t be-
came apparent that the House would
not yield.
With these items eliminated. the
General Deficiency bill was passed
and then signed by President Taft in
time to enable him to leave shortly
after 5 o'clock for his Summer home
at Beverly.
The scenes in both the Senate and
House at the closing were as tame as
could be imagined. Only about thir-
ty-fve Senators were in the chamber
and it would have been impossible to
have secured a quorum if anybody had
insisted on point of order on this
score
