It has also, however, an important influence upon the heat - regulating machinery of the skin. Warm baths increase the size of the blood vessels in -the skin and draw the blood a -way from the brain, mak- ing one feel comfortably sleepy. This is why a warm bath is usually taken at 'bedtime. A cold bath on the other hand, con- tracts the skin blood vessele and drives the blood to the brain and, makes one feel alert and keen. Cold bathing is a powerful tenon to the skin, since rt trams the blood vessels to respond quickly to changda in tem- peratures. People who take eold baths regularly are.likely to be 'hardier and much lees subject to colds than others. It should be remembered, however, that some people do not bear cold baths well. LateralCurvaturnof the Sinne. Broadly spealcmg, lateral curvature of the spine may be divided ento two classes -functional and structueele- though there seems to be an inter- mediate ex transitional stage between the two. A functional laterai curve is a postural one, of mild degree, in which no actual change in bone has taken place. Ina structural, or or- ganic, lateral curve, certain changes have occurred in the Imes of the spine and tbe ribs. Phase may vary team the rniln case, in which these changes are not extensive, to the, severe forin where the althrations in the bones are marked and the de- formity is extreme. It has been found that about 25 per ge.nt, of school children are affected with some form of lateral curvature, the larger proportion of which is the functional type. Lateral curvature may be due to any 0110 or more of many eauses, and in some cases it is 'impossible to point to any particular cause. In general terms it may be said to be the result of any contldtion that causes the spine to bo held habitually in a eery - ed position during the growing period.' Weak muscles and a certain yielding quality of bone are conditions than favor its development. Since it is true that lateral curvad tura may be associated .with .eitheri round -shoulders ora flat beck, 11)01mother cannot use these conditions as evidence for or against the existence' of lateral curvatuee, But she (or the dressmaker) may , notice that the child's shoialders are nob the same height, or that • one projects farther backward than the other, or that ono side of the baek fuller or move I prominent than the .other, or that the hips are uneven, ,In all cases tha! child's spine should be extunined, and since 11 is ef great imporeance to know whether the curve is functional or structural, the examination should be. made by ono trained to .differen- tiate between these two types.

An ex- cessive amount id near work will eause strain in even a normal aye. A elight degree of farsight is nor- mal in youtig children and need cause no special concernother than to avoid overmuch near work. Marked far- sightednese, however, is one of the most serious muses of eyestrain, and eif not corrected, may lead to very •harmful results. Astigmatism is the effect of irregu- larity 40 the shepe of the cornea (the clear part of the eyeball. This pro- duces -blurred vision because the child can see netter in one meridian than the other. If theastigmatesm is sligltt the eye corrects the fault 137 using its power of accommodation, but this entails strain. Henee,' astigmatism ranks with farsight as a cause of eye- strain. It is also one of the causes of faulty posture, since the child ea- turally turns his head and twists his body till he gets into the position where he can see best, Squint, or cross-eye, is one -of the very serious elefeets of the eye, the imporeance . of which many parents fail to realize. Though they, of course, are troubled with its effect on the arp- pearance of them children, they do not understand that unless the defect is corrected early ht life (by the sixth or seveeth year) there is great clanger that the vision in the affected eye will be greatly impaired if not lost al- together. If treatment is begtia early, even in infancy, if observed then, the eyes may usually be straightened by glass- es, without an operation. Any evidence of eyestrain or defec- tive vision, should eall for an examina- tion by an oculist. Painful, watering, or ,congested eyes, twitching or sore lids, sensitiveness to light, frowning, peculiar position of 'the head, difficul- ty in seeing work on the board, hold- ing.th.e book near the eyes, poor speln ing or reading, blurred or Opuble vision, headache (common) fatigue nereousaess, dizzinees, sleeplessnees, irritability and lack of to/Arca are among the symptoms of eye.straie, Every effort should be made in both -amci sohooi bo conserve the vi- sion ef the child. The light should come from the left and the veer. In schoolrooms the windows should be massed on the left aide, toward the rear, with aene do the back of the room because the teacher's eyes should not be subjected to the strain of lobking toward the light. The window glass spaee of a school- room should be about one-fourth a the floor space, and all windows ehould ‚reach almost .to the tailing, Opaque shades should be used only to eecludo direct sunlight, In addition to these, light -colored translucent shades elrould be used. The combinetion up- and-down shade or the new style•ad- justable roller should be substituted for the old-fashioned shade. The•coloring of the room should be such as to reflect the light without glare. The ceiling should be almost white, and the walls inay be buff, pale tall or gray (either 'creamy or with just a touch of green). For further 'protection on the eyes of school children, the textbooks shoeld be printed on white, unglazed paper, with laege print, short lines and wine nmegint. Every child shoeld be seated where he will have suffi- cient light, and the program of near work should be broken 'by periods When there will be'no tax on the eyes, Especially is this desirable in the case ef youngee children.

Still ether uses for shrubbery are as screens to block out unsightly ob- jects, to fill hollows, to reduce the ap- • parent height of walls or banks, to serve as aeleackground for sinallei flowering plants or to break hard un- sightly lines. Unreasonable as it may seem, a yard may be partially filled with shrubbery and its ,apparent size great- ly increased.
