YT would seem that these who
WOrshipped, and yet Worship
the sun a. the source BE All life
are daily finding more and more
scientific proof of the validity Or
their faith. The study Of light
and fts effect upon human health
and efficiency has been going on
at such a pace and with such
startling revelations that the
practical application 81 light to
health and well being has passed
from 4 FAD to cult and threat
ems to become d religion. Ut cer-
tainly Is destined to become at
least a part OF that rapidly evolv-
ing religion that is based upon
mans adjustment to the resistIess
natural laws that control his be-.
ing.J
This Is brought to my mind by
some observations by Vaughan
and Smiley in the Journal Of Pre-
ventive Medicine to the effect
that infections of the respiratory
tract have been found to show a
definite relation to the atmos-
pheric temperature and the aver
age hours OF sunshine.
We can only guess how sun.
light acts. IT seems, however,
that winter and spring colds can
min intake and disordered Vita
min process in the body. Both
these are due to the lack of sun
In the winter months. We now
know that sunshine generates the
- -,
bodies. "A deficiency in either
might lower the resistance to in
effective organisms.
These doctors therefore tried
the effect of artificial sunlight on
a number of students. 1t is
known that these ultraviolet rays
cause an increase in the blood
cells whose job it Is to resist In
fections. 1T Is also known that
the germ-killing power of the blood
Is much increased after exposure
to the suns rays-especially ultra
violet rays. Many workers have
found that people having sun
treatment are remarkably Tree
from colds, even though they are
exposed to wind and waves ana
inclement weather on the sea-
shores until they are blue with
cold. Some negative results OBJ
tanned by one set of workers seem
easily explained by the fact that
their patients received too large
doses-for light can both build
up and destroy. We are begin
ming to destroy. We are begin
ming to realize that ultraviolet
irradiation is too often given in
excess.
These workers therefore fig
ured that a man of sodentary
habits would not spend more than
half an hour day out in the
sunshine with his head, neck and
forearms exposed. Worked out
in terms of artificial sun lamp
dosage. this meant about ten
minufes' irradiation from the
average lamp at a distance OF
thirty inches once weekly. Brown
ing of the skin is not necessary
for good results.

You're wrong. Some people are

They will remain merely scenery.

But the one thing woman
finds 1t hardest to do. is NOT to
tempt a man. Ever since the first
woman started it by tempting his
appetite with an apple, man has
made more fuss about that little
bite that Eve took than about the
cheerful eagerness with which
Adam swallowed all the rest OF it.
Why any woman should TRY
to tempt a man is a mystery! No
matter what woman does, 1t is
a Temptation" To man.
When she wore long trailing
skirts and lots of petticoats, she
tempted him through his magma
ton. And now that she goes
bare.kneed and bare backed. she
tempts him with her sex appeal
and through his eyes.
Even when women wore bustles
and tight basques and buns, they
were accused Of tempting" men
with those atrocities; and now
that they go about with shaved
necks and an exposed clavicle'
they are still accused OF trying
to be tempting"
If woman uses a lipstick and
keeps herself scented and pow
dered, she tempts man to kiss
her. And If she scorns all the
first aids to beauty and goes
about in bungalow aprons, she
drives him to seek some other
woman's kisses.
If she is gay and frivolous and
jazzy, she tempts him to keep
late hours and waste his money
at night clubs; and If she is quiet
and unconvivial, she drives him
"out of the house." to seek his
amusements with his cronies or
more amusing women.

YOU REALLY WANT OUT OF
