SUN BATHS
HEALTHY
by DR.. Chas. A. L. Reed
Former President Of the American
Medical Association.

04CuAC0A f1DSOCA0tAVus
"HE doctors have added a new
word to their jargon!
II It's "heliotherapy."
OF course they might have said
'sun cure" or "sun treatment"
for that's what they mean, but
such Of the vernacular would
have seemed unlearned and there
fore not to be thought Of.
This word, heliotherapy. indi-
Gates that the medical profession.
which. in spite Of its big words.
is working day in and day out for
your welfare and happiness, is
making a practical application Of
the radiant energy Of the sun to
the cure Of certain Of your dis
eases.
1t IL based upon two important
discoveries. two important revela-
tons Of natural law.
First, that radiant energy In
the form Of both light and heat,
by direct action. imparts vital
energy to the normal cells Of the
body.
Second, that 1t correspondingly
lowers the energy even to the
point Of actual destruction OF GER
tain disease-producing germs.
The germ thus most pro-
nouncedly influenced is that
which causes tuberculosis.
The treatment therefore should
be direct and prolonged exposure
of the entire body to the rays Of
the sun.
1t sounds very simple, but the
remedy is one of the most power
full known to science and should.
therefore, be utilized only under
careful professional supervision.
Applied under such restrictions
it has brought new hope to many
consumptives.
But my point is that IL the d.
rect rays of the sun thus aug.
ments the vitality Of normal cells
in the presence of disease it ought
similarly to stimulate normal cells
in the absence Of disease.
What IL such sun bath?
Take off your clothes, all OF
them. Then, au naturel, walk
about, sit down or lie down in the
sun.
II you must, do this in your
room. II you can do 1t under the
direct rays Of the sun without in
tervening glass, so much the bet
ter. Let the exposure be just as
long as you can--being careful at
first Of sunburn--a half hour, an
hour, several hours at time. Do
it daily. Keep it up until the skin
Of your whole body is tanned, then
keep 1t UP to keep up the tan.
II you can do this In the open,
as at the seashore, compromising
on q pair Of trunks or an abbre-
waited and gauzy bathing suit, al
ternately going into the water and
lolling upon the sand, so much the
better.

"Oh, yes" said Bobby, land

Right. YOU are, Bobby. so

I exclaimed.
OF course, we watched the
building Of the nest with keen
interest, aud then one morning
Bobby came in and announced:
There are four dear little
blue eggs IL the nest, Foxy
Grandpa
My, we were too delighted for
words!
Often Bonby would take up his
position on the ground under the
tree to watch the happy couple
the dear little mother guarding
her eggs so carefully and the
proud father fitting happily
among the Loughs of the tree
trying to keep his wife cheerful
and contented.
One morning after a visit to
the tree Bobby came in with his
little brow deeply furrowed and
said:
Something strange happened
in that nest this morning"
"What?" / asked. Tell me
about it."
"a big, G ,ayish bird flew right
into that nest while the robins
were out limiting worms.
"A grayish bird" l repeated.
IT wonder what it was DOING
there
That's what puzzled me-" said
Bobby.
The days passed and we didn't
find out. We were anxiously
waiting for the little family to
hatch out, when one morning we
heard a great TODD out In the
cherry tree. Bobby jumped out
of bel, dressed himself very
quickly and ran out to the tree.
They're herew he shouted to
me. as stood at the window In
my dressing gown.
Don't climb up yet, Bobby"
/ cautioned. You might scare
the poor little baby birds to
death"
"All right, answered Bobby
promptly. but with note of dis
appointment in his voice.
A few weeks went by and one
day Bobby said:
The robins are out. Do you
think it would be all right for us
to look at the babies nowY'
i think so. Bobby" ! replied.

through the fusillade of Jeanie's

Jim's manner broke down my con-

big living room couch, gave
way to a tempest Of sobbing.
Perhaps in a dim corner Of my

come to me, put his arms around
me and try to comfort me, But
there was only grim stiffness in
the room with nothing to break

sobs.
