HEALTH HINTS
THE SKIN.

The skin is one OF the principal or
gans for throwing off waste which the
body is constantly forming Just as fire
forms ashes in the process of burn
ing.
The kidneys and liver, the lungs
and the skin all play o part in getting
this waste out of the system.
In the case Of the skin there are
millions Of little pockets called the
sweat glands which have this work
to do, for sweat is nothing more than
q watery extract OF the waste products
Of the body.
Another OF the every important
things which the skin does is to help
regulate the body temperature. This
Is done by automatic changes in the
size of the blood vessels of the skin
and by changes In the secretion of
sweat.
When it is hot outside, the skin
blood vessels expand and carry lar
ger amount OF blood through the skin
to be cooled of, while sweat is dis
charged freely and cools the body by
its evaporation.
In winter the blood vessels contract
and keep the blood In the inner parts
Of the body, while the sweat glands
cease to discharge as freely as in sum
mer.
For that reason the question Of prop.
er clothing is important in winter. II
too much heavy clothing is worn 1t

ulation in the skin with the result
