RINGWoRM REMEDY

Ringworn is an unsightly dis
ease and frequently dehes the
most persistent treatment. 1t
should be taken in hand at once,
and the greatest cleanliness OBJ
served to prevent its spreading.
If it gets into the hair, as it
does sometimes among children,
it is even more difficult to cure.

ABOUT A COAT OF TAN.
Wear your hat in summer
when the sun shines brightly.
Too strong rays of the sun or too
much exposure hurts the skin and
are not good for the hair.
A moderate amount of tanning
which is received gradually may
not be injurious, and as a means
of getting outdoor exercise and
plenty of fresh air it is justifable.
But sitting on the beach bare
headed all day just for the sake of
getting tanned is not worth the
while.
1t is due very largely to the eff
fects of light that the skin of the
face and hands show the changes
which we recognize as those of
increasing age. This does not
mean that people should not 60
in swimming, or lie on the beach,
or FISH or hunt.
1T does mean that they should
not take pains to become sum
burned and tanned.
The point to keep in mind is
that violent light is harming
agent to any part of the skin. If
the skin covering cannot act fast
enough to stop the work of this
agent the underlying tissues are
harmed. If the skin does stop it
the skin is the part which suffers.
RINGWORM REMEDY

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-08-21

A .ringworm is a scaly, ring-
like patch with a tendency to
head at the center. The quickest
and safest cure for it is iodine.
Paint the sores with it, then rub
with sulphur ointment. Some
times several applications are ne
cessary, at intervals of two or
three days.
If the ringworm is on the head,
eliminate as much hair as posi-
bic.
Inasmuch as the disease is
catching it is always wise to keep
away from any person known to
have it.

Not only was the Titanic tearing

all the speed of which she was cap

the disaster. He said the ship was

orders to smash the record.

The officers had been advised by

clear, so that it seemed there was no

there was not the slightest indica-
