SECRETS OF
HEALTH
DR.. C. "A. Z. Reed

VOU possibly have some time
4 looked sauarely at the sun
with wide-open eyes. or. possibly,
you have some time read in the
open sunshine so that your eyes
have received the direct reflection
from the newspaper or book in
your hand. If you have been look
ing at tree, for example. you
have been surprised to see that
every leaf was red. This was con-
tinued for a minute or less, after
which they again looked green.
The meaning Of this phenome-
non is that the sun has caused the
sensitive ina ge-receiving layer In
the bottom of your eyes to become
temporarily congested, or filled
with blood. You can understand
how such an experience, If too Sc
we're or too frequently experienced,
may cause permanent damage.
This il very real danger to
babies. especially when left exposed
in perambulators.
The effect OF sunlight on the
eyes is a question upon which the
National Society for the Proven.
ton OF Blindness has been called
for advice.
The problem, says that organiza-
ton in its annual report now be-
fnro mo hos I,aru v1art;y, 6S,k - mi;
cation in the increasing practice
OF giving sun baths to babies.
Direct sunlight is essential to
babies health. 1t is a preventive
OF ricketts, and tuberculosis. The
medical director OF that organiza-
ton during the year conducted an
inquiry by correspondence and per-
sonal interview with a group of
nationally eminent pediatricians
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, who have
wide experience in prescribing sun
baths for babies.
It was the consensus OF opinion
among this group who responded
to the inquiry that the deleterious
effects OF sunlight on babies eyes
were greatly overestimated. That
Is because babies, as we'll as adults,
instinctiVelv close their eyes
against glare. 1t was recon-
mended, however, that instructions
be given so that babies can receive
sun baths without having the rays
Of the sun beaming directly over
head.
The baby can be placed In q car
riage, it's feet away from the sun
with the sun canning from an
angle behind the carriage, so that
the bony structure of the forehead
forms a natural shade for the
baby's eyes.
A green celluloid shade may be
conveniently arranged TO prevent
the full glare of the sun while ex-
posing the rest of the body to the
direct rays. This ought, however,
to be for only few minutes at
time. Fortunately the indirect sun
rays available under shade can be
used with equal benefit and for
longer periods without exposing
the eyes to violence.
1t is fortunate that, as ] have In
dictated, everybody instinctiVely
protects the eyes in one way or an
other against sun glare. This fact
of itself is evidence that such pro-
lection is needed. IL this hint,
given by Nature itself, is duly
needed all persons fronh infancy to
old age NAV take advantage OF the
sun bath without undue hazard to
the vision.

covered ways OF saving time and
strength. She and half a dozen
other young mothers dubbed to-
gether and hired woman TO look
after their youngsters in the after
moons. Modern motherhood, under
,Ethel's cool brain, became as much
of a snap as modern housekeep-
ing.
With this result--by evening
Ethel Is as fresh and vivacious as
she was at d. m. All set TO go
and plenty OF pep TO go with. On
the other hand, by evening Horace
is a washout.
He has been driving ait top speed
all day. DO not gather from this
that Horace is a martyr to domes-
tic devotion. Ie often pictures
himself as such, but actually IIor-
ace is quite as much welded to
his job as he is to Ethel--if not
more so. He Is constantly taking
on new work in order to make a
record for himself. Horace's idea
OF pure beauty is a nice, messy
mastoid. He works to the limit of
His strength every day, in office
or hospital. BY night he is just
about as sociable as a hiberna ting
woodchuck. And when Ethel sug-
Gests that they crash loose and do
q little roistering about Horace al
most weeps with rage and indigna-
ton.
Doesn't she realize how he has
been shaving all day? Doesn't she
appreciate what it means to give
her all this comfort? That's all
the thanks man gets! He can't
sit down and have an hours rest,
etc, etc, etc.
All of which Ethel swallows
with large gobs of salt. She's hep

So there you are. This woman
gave up much fascinating freedom
and a business career to marry a
man because she loved him, be-
cause she desired his companion
ship above everything else on earth
and wished TO make home for
HIM. Judge for yourself what she's
getting out of it.
What will be the result?
What's the cure?
