in the skin and certain infections, The human being, even though he may have evolved at some time from an ainphibious animal, is not adapted to living in exceed ing wet places. For that req son 1t is necessary for such a worker to wear high rubber boots and similar protective coverings.
 In industry 1t IS also custom ary to overcome the hazard of dampness to some extent by suit able ditching which carries away excess water.
 In industries where water Is ex- ceedingly damaging to the skin as, for example. among washer women, the wearing of rubber gloves may be helpful and in some instances 1t Is customary to oil the skin thoroughly to over- come the hazard of damage to the skin from moisture.
 Any person who IS required to work in an area that is damp should have thorough under standing of the condition of his lungs and of his joints before he undertakes that as e regular oc- cupation. There seems to be plenty of evidence from the ex. perience of workers in industry that exposure to constant dampness ii capable of real harm to the human body.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

I gave Dorothy an undressed doll baby. That is, 1t had 6 shirt, socks and diaper, but no street clothes. The little, girl played for 6 day or two with her new child and then decided 1t needed a dress.
 She was visiting us at the time, and I, who can't keep my hands of dolls, intended to get out some patches and make the sexless in- fant some raiment.
 But I decided to wait and see what natural mother instinct lay dormant in Dorothy'S breast. Would she be mentioning it2 This child is i've and right smart. The age when ingenuity and initiative begin to get busy. Her mother, Q widow, was too sad to be fussing with doll clothes, so 1t was up to me to play grandma to dolly. But thinking that small mothers, as well as older ones, should boss their own babies, I kept quiet.
 Proud of Her Work
 One day Dorothy, sent to get some thread, found piece of black velvet in a drawer. A raggedy jag gedly piece 1t was, but in it~lay O suggestion for the alert child. May I have this for dress for my baby? She asked. I'm going to call her Mary"
 She certainly could. I started to say, "I'll make you dress, darling" then buttoned my lips. Why spoil her excitement?
 Providing herself with small Safe- ty pins, she set to work. The result was Q sort of Eskimo-ish scarecrow- ish ensemble that had no form or style. But Dorothy was so proud of her achievement that she took the dolly with her, as was, wherever she went. When her mother reach- ed for Mary one day, to tidy her Up bit, caught her eye.
 She understood immediately, and said instead, Mary looks very nice and I am sure she Is proud of her clothes"
 Dorothys eyes Shone. She, too, was proud. Hadn't everyone admired the product of her tingers2 She had picked the material, thought oi making the dress and produced Il all by herself. No one hint or word of advice had gone into 1t, only her own ideas and busy fingers. Fostering Good Impulses
 The little girl said goodbye one day, with Mary cuddled in her arms Mary in black velvet and many pins I kept my bits of lawn and pale silk. They lie in their box still, Q monument to the damage they didn't do. Undermine Dorothyi faith in her ability? Certainly notl
 But, you say, should not thb child be taught to do things neat' ly and r!ghtp Yes, indeed. When her own mother Is feeling better she can get out material some day and say, Would you like to know more about making dresSeS2 I'll show you how to hold @ needle and make some stitches. Stitches are more comfortable than pins, I think. And she can cut Q simple dress all of e piece and let the child help Day by day, through the months to come the child will pick up some knowledge. ..
 There Is 0 difference between working out Ideas for 6 child and letting her do 1t for herself. Orig inal impulses of the right sort car' ried to Q conclusion, hold the seeds of pride.

CUFFS AND CUTICLE

CUFFS AND CUTICLE
 The epidermiS, cuticlc, scarfskin or external horny layer of the skin is the impervious protective wrap- per. The cutis or true skin under meath carries the arterioleS, venules, nerves and lymphatics. The pig ment of the skin IS in the epidertnis, The surface layer of the epldernlis receives nouriShment by seepagc of lymph from the lymphatic Ves- sells in the true skin between the cells of the epidermis. .
 The true skin is the bed in which the sweat glands and the oil or se- haceous glands lie. The ducts of these glands convey their secretions water or sebum, up through the cuticle to their openings on the sur- face. To call these surface openings or orifices of the swe. . and seba- ceous gland ducts pores" ia well enough for third grade children But don't let that childish fancy deceive you. Sweat and skin oil or Sebum are pored out upon the sur- face of the skin through these ori- Aces, but nothing Is ever taken into the skin or into the system through these oritices or through the un- broken cuticle in any way. l mean to say that As long as you have Q whole skin you need never worry about absorbing anything harmful through your skin. On the other hand, until you break, punerure' blister or other wise provide on opening, you cannot absorb any lnedicament or nutrient, no matter how carefully 1t Is applied to the skin. No honest, intelligent physi- clan will have the temerity to niain- tain that mercury ig absorbed through the skin when mercury

 Hygela, the Health Magazine


 Hygela, the Health Magazine
 Before considering the special problems of health associated with various industries, 1t Is well to re- alize that certain general conditions may develop in any industry or in groups of industries.
 The human body has in 1t cer- tain factors for controlling It's own temperature. It Is possible, how ever, for the temperature around the body to be so extreme, either in heat or in cold that the mech anisrn of the body will not func- ton satisfactorily, There are many occupations In which heat is Q vital concern In relation to health.
 If you are exposed to extreme dry heat, you may develop heat stroke. This comes with fever rapid pulse, flushing of the skin profuse sweating and fall In the blood pressure. Eventually eX- , posures to extreme heat may cause inflammation of the tissues with their breakdown and de- struction. Blast furnace and boiler room workers, cooks, laundry room workers, workers in the automobile and chemical industries are fre- quently exposed to the hazards of heat.
 Equally serious with the hazard of heat is the danger of sudden changes in the temperature. The human body does not adjust itself easily to sudden severe changes There are experiments which show that such alterations in tempera- ture may be accompanied by breakdown in the resistance of the body to various types of disease, particularly respiratory disease.
 Sudden changes in temperature occur particularly to workers in the ice industry, butchers, candy makers, cooks, drivers, electro typers, fishermen, packing house employees and soap makers.
 pr. Leonard D. Lockhart med- ican adviser of the great firm in England known as the Boots Chem iCal Drug Company, calculated that % per cent of the loss of time of workers in that company in 1924 was due to the common cold. He was convinced that bad ventilation is definitely related to the cause of colds.
 The employe works In hot, stag nant air which causes the mem- branes lining the air passages to become relaxed and engorged with blood. The germs settle on the membranes of the nose. When the Individual goes out suddenly into the cold air, his resistance Is les- nened and the germs are well im- planted, ready to set up disturb ances.
 The hazards of heat are some- times not as serious for certain workers as those of the damp. The fishermafl, the leather preparer in the glove industry, workers in paper mills, laundry workers, pottery workers, sewer workers, packing house employees and many others, Including perhaps also sailors, fire- nzefi and icehouse employees, are Isguiarly associated with severe
 znpness.
 geF years human beings have so0gnlzed that dampness Is d N0ntributing factor to coughs and elds. rheumatic diseases. changes !. ' .a
