Sun-Bathing

Sun-Bathing.

Christmas and the holiday season are drawing near, and the average person, both the child and adult, longs for the freedom of the out-of-doors, with the invigorating tonic of sunshine and sea air. Sun-bathing will become the order of the day.

Precautions should be taken in the early days of sun-bathing to avoid a badly sunburned and blistered skin. Injudicious exposure to strong sunlight causes unnecessary pain and discomfort, and can be very harmful. Gradual exposure to the morning and afternoon sun should be the rule, avoiding the strong mid-day sun. Most important of all, it is necessary to protect the children from the strong rays of the sun and to see that they are members of the Hat Brigade during the summer months.
