itchy Rashes.

"Dear Doctor: I am Is years old and
feel healthy in every way except one;
I have kind of rash, an itching. burn
ing rash. The first time I noticed it
was year ago, in the Spring; it stayed
with me during the Summer. but left
in the Winter. This month It has come
back again. I went to doctor, who
thought ii was caused by Strawberries.
The rash continues and burns and
1tches II I become warm or go out into
the sun. 1t itches not only when I'm in
the sun but also at night. and 1t has
been ithcing continuously for two DAYS
and nights This itching occurs mostly
on the backs of my hands. on my neck
and face. The doctor told me not to
eat any starchy foods and gave me some
medication, with but little relief.

think perhaps you belong to the
small group Of those whose skins are
sensitized to the chemical rays of the

flicted develop itchy rashes. and some

What causes this sensitiZation is not
known. Perhaps there is something
wrong with the diet, or some particular
food that causes 1t. For instance. buck
wheat will cause some to have SenSi-

It's too bad for you to have to forego
your sunlight treatments for you are

to until you find out what is causing
the sensitization.
There are certain creams that are
said to allow the ultra violet or healing
rays, and the tanning rays of the sun
to go through. but obstruct the chemi-
cal rays. Whether there Is any virtue
in these creams or not. don't know;
but you might try them.
II you find you have to keep out of
the direct sunlight, think you should
take some cod liver oil. Raphael, for
IT is very high in vitamin D which is
developed in the skin when exposed to
sunlight. 1t usually is given to babies
to keep them from having ricketts,. You
are far from having ricketts,. You are
far from being a baby, but this vitamin

'sReg'lar Fellers" Who Became Great

BY J. P. GLASS.

Perusing their sons letters, Viscount
and Lady Palmerston suddenly came to
the conclusion-or perhaps it was only
Lord Palmerston-that young Henry
John. Palmerston was getting a wrong
start in life.
His thoughts seemed to relate too
persistently to food.
Henry John was a great letter writer
He would rather write a letter than
convey his thoughts by word of mouth,
even If the person he addressed hap
pend to be under the same roof with
him.
On Christmas day, 1871, when he was
only 7, his mother asked him to dine
with her. Straightway he sent her a
formal written acceptance Ito goble up
mince-pyes or whatever else there Is
for dinner
Food of various descriptions contin-
ued thereafter to figure in his CORE
spondence. Thus, in writing home from
Harrow, where he had been sent in the
hope of reform. he said:
II am very well and hope to continue
so, for I am in a very healthy place
The cake was very much liked
what I liked best in it was that at top
1t was plain and at bottom plumb
(plum), and then the sugar was so rich.
One senses in these few words the
tenderness of the memories left by this
cake. But what a world OF patilos is
revealed in another letter, also written
from Harrow but to a friend travelling
on the Continent. Says Henry John,

SUMMERTIME
BY D. c. pEATTIE.

The ardent ornithologist Is in his
paradise In Spring: then come all the
singing, swinging. darling, mating and
light-winged birds of passage in a
mighty host. In Autumn he can OBJ
serve the movements OF the ducks and
all their tribe, seen now in great con-
gregations, fat and gamey. Even in
Winter the bird lover delights in the
little northern fellows to whom our
mild climate Is a Riviera compared with
the Arctic regions where they 60 in
Summer. Midsummer alone Is the
dead season for birds. Fully half the
interesting Spring migrants nest north
Of Us; even the species that stay are
now moulting or beginning to retire,
and have left off singing. They hop
hot, no longer howery, woods, that they
might as well not be here.
But there is one class of birds seen
best of Summer day-the heron tribe.
And of them all, my favorite Is the
green heron. OrnithologistS take little
interest in him because he is common,
even around little muddy pools in farm
ing country, no less than in deep
swamps, and he has broad, shapeless

These are the very reasons for which
find him an interesting bird. The
craze for rarity" in natural history be-
longed to the Victorian period, and
many extant Victorians still worship at
its affairs. One great Victorian, OAR
win, knew, however, that the common
est dooryard weed might be as inter-
esting as the rarest fern from the
mountains of the moon.
Accept the green heron, then, as
common-eyen vulgar. If you like. But
you must grant me that his tameness,
his graceful. yet ponderous fight, his
eifin, watery silhouette down some
water-lane, and the strange harsh cry,
are one with the spirit of all that is
Summary and splendid. dreamy and
liquid, in the aquatic world.
II practical, you must admit, too,
that he does us all good turn by eat
ing frogs and insects from which, ere
long, we would be overrun but for the
birds. And yet, though useful and
beautiful when alive, not one hunter in
so can resist the temptation to kill this
friendly little fellow-though, when
dead, he Is both unattractive and per-
fectly useless, for neither his flesh nor
his feathers have any value to speak of,
The reason for this is partly that
the heron will cling to his bushes until
you are within 10 feet of him, hoping
you will not see him; when he rises,
he does so with squawk that calls
attention to him; his flight is slow and
noisy, and. as moving target, he is
the sportsman's delight. Worse than
this, he is so trusting that he doesn't
fly far, and often alights within two
minutes, in plain sight. And SO the
sportsman" whose idea of enjoying a
fine day in the bosom of nature is to
kill helpless and beautiful creatures.

could not be called defeated. There had
