VoU read almost daily of the
wonders produced by the
ultraviolet rays, otherwise called
artificial sunlight. This has be-
come almost 4 domestic remedy.
1t Is becoming increasingly COM
mon for people to buy an ultra
violet lamp for use in the home,
just as they might buy an electric
radiator. This wholesome practice
is not without danger. / do not
mean that 1t should be whole
heartedly condemned, If the lamp
is used with common sense and
admitted to be possibly danger
GUS implement and not 2 cure-all.
it may be used with safety-if
you'll pardon the paradox.
There is no doubt that ultra
violet light can alter the lime
salts in bones in short time,
and can, therefore, be invaluable
in ricketts,. 1t modifies the nutrt.
tive value Of the milk Of nursing
mothers. IT is a splendid thing
for healing over burns and reliev-
ing the pain from them. It has a
fine effect on broken bones, en-
couraging healing OF the worst
breaks in the shortest possible
time and with the least possible
pain and discomfort. And for the
healthy it is q magnificent way
of keeping disease at bay. avoid.
ing winter colds and averting
fatigue.
An intelligent person can well
be trusted with an artificial sun
light lamp in his home liz he
gets a set of rules from his doc
tor as to how to work it and how
often, and IL he is careful not to
use it on anybody who has not
been passed as fit for 1t.
IT can be used as any other pre-.
scription is used, and there Is no
doubt that it Is better to have 1t
in the house. When once
been ordered regularity in at
tendance is most important IL
full benefit is to be obtained. Yet
it is just the type OF child who
needs sunlight who ought not to
be exposed to the rigors of eli
mate. 1t is often a very hard
thing to decide whether it is
best for the little one to miss
the sunlight or to go out to the
doctors office or clinic on a wet
or foggy day. If the lamp is in
the house no such difficulty
arisess.
1t has been stated that ultra.
violet light will rapidly cure vari-
cose ulcers, those tiresome, slow
ulcers that appear on leg that
is full of varicose veins. The
highest authorities, however, as
sure us that careful experiments
have shown that there is no
foundation for this belief.
The home user of artificial sun.
light must always remember that
individuals vary enormously in
the dose they will stand without
reddening. Although 1t is gen.
orally true that blondes take a
small dose and brunettes a larger
one, this must not be relied on.
Every person who is having arti-
fetal sunlight for the first time
ought to be tested before a bath
is given. An armlet can be fitted
on with four or five round holes
cut in it, One of the holes Is
covered after two or three min.
utes. the next a minute later and
and the next a minute after that.

bus conductors, perhaps other
men won't yawn at sight OF
them.
But a man wouldn't waste forty
seconds of honest thought on
q thing like the length of his

long sleeves or long hair or long
boards or long trousers, he'd
accept them. If he didn't, no
power on earth could thrust
them upon him.
It has been more than thirty
years since there has been half
an inch change in the length OF
meas coats or the height of their
collars. Twenty years ago men
stopped parting their hair in the

the side. And that's where all he
men are still parting it.
In that time. women have
changed from bangs and buns to
pompadours and puffs; from
pompadours to "fish.hooks" and

going back to long hair and buns
again.
