HOW TO SUNBATHE
“I'm going to lie out in the open and ! take a sun bath,” we say while the hot , sun beats down on beach or lawn. An I excellent intention if followed with dis- I cretion, but slight sunstroke, sickness, headaches and disfiguring blisters and blotches on the skin are the least of the evils risked by imprudent people. When you sit in the sun after a bathe remember that eminent doctors recommend only ten minutes or so exposure at a itme, at first, if you are not fully clothed, until you become quite accustomed to it, and even then no one should stay out in the sun without moving position every little while, so that one side or part of the body is not in the full heat all the time. Never remain in the sun without the protection of a large hat or sunshade for the head and the back of the neck . These are most vulnerable spots. Until they have time to become acclimatised don’t strip the little ones almost naked to splash about in the pools and run on the unshaded sands all day. Tender, inflamed skin, headaches and peevish discomfort, is the portion of the poor chilldren who pass from the dim sunlight and conventional clothing of cities straight to such extreme conditions. t = ==l
