It is the ultra-violet rays which are the most readily absorbed by the tissues, and which are there- fore of the greatest value, for they kill not only surface bacteria but these more deeply suitated. This destruction is brought about by the action of the sun's rays coagulating the albumen of the microbic protoplasm.

Caution Advised.

1.

I seriously impress upon the aun-bather the advisability of pro- ceeding very gradually and with the greatest caution. In the case ef delicate people the surveillance of a medical man should be re- garded as absolutely necessary.

To begin with, and if the sun is very hot and there is no wind, a ten-minutes exposure. lying on the sand or elsewhere is sufficient. If the heat is not excessive and there is a breeze a longer period can safely be indulged in.

Each day, as the skin becomes more and more tanned, longer exposures may be made. The pig- mentation prevents the absorption of the sometimes dangerous red rays, and yet allows the healing ultra-violet rays to pass into the system and do their benficient work..

Always wear a hat, and if you are subject to sun-glare headache, darkened glasses as well. It is desirable to divide the time of the sun-bath to lying first on the back, than on the face, and lastly on the left and right sides. But too much of the sun. in aprone position is not good for the aver- age person. Quick walking, easy, springy running, and all kinds of exercises of a right kind are excellent, especially those which contract and relax all the muscles of the body.

SUCKED INTO MOVING GRAIN.

MAN SUFFOCATED IN A WAREHOUSE.

The story of a man being sucked into moving grain and being slow- ly suffocated despite o brave at-. tempt at rescue by two of his mates, was told at a Wallasey in- quest recently. The victim was a Birkenhead man named Owens, who was working aa E foreman in discharging a cargo of grain into a warehouse on the quayside at Seacombe.

The grain was being sent down a shoot into the warehouse, where there were 250 tons 12 feet high, and then down a grid on to endless belts. On going round to get a Owens slipped and

rope sucked into the moving grain. He called out and two of his tmates each seized a hand. They were both drawn in up to their waists, but they failed to rescue Owens, and he was slowly sub- merged before the machinery could be stopped. Only his hands remained visible. Twenty minu tes elapsed before his dead body' was recovered.

The jury found Owens was suffocated by misadventure, and recommended the flow of grain should be stopped when ropes were being repaired. It stated this was the first fatality of the kind that had occurred at. the grain warehouse.

M. Popovitch is alleged to be unable to see the joke, and the palice are very reserved.

Cases

Sir Burton Chadwick stated in! Parliament that up to the prese at 44 applications for safeguarding of industries had been received. Fifteen had been referred to Committees, and in seven duties had been imposed. Of the remaining 29, 3 had been with! withdrawn 07 were in abey- rejected ance, 22 had been without reference to a Committee, and 4 were pending. Sir Basti Peto asked if that was considered a satisfactory result. Sir Burton -Yes, I think on the whole it. is satisfactory.
