complexion is by purchase. Tanned
skins are somewhat prone to develop
skin cancer."
A great deal has been written in
the last , year or , two on the advan
tages of sunlight in preventing and
curing . rickets ; but remember that
rickets is a disease of childhood.
Quoting further, "The senile pro
cess the process of growing old is
abetted by sunlight, at least in plants.
Maybe these tanned men and women
are inviting old age." : ; ' ,
The gist of his articles is that sun
light is especially good for children,
as the rays promote growth particu
larly of bone. It is also good for
adults, but not constant exposure to
the Summer taidday sun- T sun
shine of winter is very helpful, , but
since it is rather scarce at that sea

stores -up a 'reserve of ; its ( products
in.ith;:svstem "in- thie! summer, that
helps carry one through the winter.
' Rickets is much more common in
northern' than in southern climates.
This is because the sunshine in the
South has a great deal to do with
the ; prevention of the disease. ' It
helps the development in the body of
the child of minerals such as calcium,
phosphorus, and other , needed sub
stances which cause healthy growth
of bones and tissues.
! From the same article I quote, "For
a well man to expose himself to the. '
direct sunlight to an extreme extent
in summer, does him good. In, some
respects it harms him."
: Common sense should be applied to
the question of exposure to sunlight
as to every thing else. . Unfortunately
all valuable things abused by extrem
ists, and , on 1 account of the harm .
that is wrought, it often falls into .
disfavor. Whereas the use and not
the abuse of sunlight is productive of

Some Of The Dangers And
Disadvantages of Sunburn
The writer sounded a note of warn
ing some time ago in reference to the
foolish sun tan fad, that at present
seems to be sort of obsession with so
many people, especially grown ups.
On entering a fashionable hotel re
cently this remark was overheard.
"Is that girl white or a mulatto?"
She was evidently a Caucasian who
exposed herself so consistently to the
midday ray of old Sol that the color
of her skin was a dark shade of yel
lowish brown. Her hair had been
blond, but the sun had burned it so
unevenly that it presented "a variegat
ed dissonance of chromatic shades.
This girl was seeking to be beautified
and stylish. Her misdirected efforts
had only succeeded in destroying the
small claims to beauty that she orig
inally possessed.
A noted doctor writing on the use
and abuse of sunlight says, "A
thoroughly tanned skin will never get
to prize-winning condition. No wo
man ever tanned her skin to a ma
hogany brown and later became noted
for a peachblow complexion. The on
ly way such a woman ever gets a fine

C"My old truck was just about ready for
retirement, but I couldn't get myself to take
the big step of buying a new one," writes
Roy Gigi.
"But, when the classified ads 'showed that
used truck prices were slipping, and when I
heard about the big trade-in allowances my
Ford Dealer was making, I decided to deal. '
"I traded for a new Ford while my old truck
was still worth something. If I had waited a
few months longer, I would have had to take a
couple of hundred dollars less for my old truck.'4 .
