No more prosperity for me. I have had more fun since the depression started than ever before. I had forgotten how to live, what it | meant to have real friends, and | what it was to eat every-day | foods. just a little high hat. | I have just as much fun evad- ing the banker as I had hiding profits from the income tax col lector. Its great to drop imto a store and feel that you ean spend an hour or two or three-- Fact is, 1 was getting] or all day--just gossiping and] not feel that you are wasting] de | valuable time. 1 like the pression. There years ago, I was so busy and my wife was so busy that we didn't see much of each other. Consequently, we sort o. lost interest in each other. | never had time to go anywher: with her. If I did got to a party 1 could never locate her. We got stuck up and hifalu- tin... We even took down the old family bed and bought a set of twin beds on the instal ment plan. We have come dowi off the pedestal now and are really living. The twm beds are stored in the garage anc the old family bed is being used We are enjoying life. Instead of taking a hot water bottle to bed these cold nights, she stick: her heels in my back, just as she did when eggs were five cents each. We like the depres sion. I havn't been out to a party for eighteen months. ! have lost my book of telephone 'numbers and my wife has drop- ped-all her clubs. 1 believe we are falling in love all over again. T am feeling better too, I take more exercise. I stroll around the town, and lots of folks who used to drive Studebakers are walking with me. My digestion is better. 1 can eat anything 1 want to and I am getting real honest-to goodness food. Three ~ vears ago we used to have fillel mignon, now we are glad to get "Sow Bosom" with the buttons on it. My income has been cut to where 1 ean't afford caviar, California strawberries and fried chicken, and 1 cannot afford to have whipped cream and frozen desserts and all that damfoolish- ness that has killed more good men 'than the Great War. 1 like the depression. Three years ago I never had time to go to church. I was so darned smart that there wasn't a preacher in the whole country who could tell me anything. Now 1 go to church every so often, and if the depression continues, I shall be teaching Sunday school before long I LIKE THE DEPRESSION.

From the earliest ages, man has appreciated the warmth and growth-giving power of the sun. Man, along with plants and ani- mals, has turned his face to ths sun. Sun-baths are not a modern invention; they were used many centuries ago. The Greeks in- cluded solaria in their homes, and built places by the sea where they exposed their naked bodies to the sun. Sunlight is not, as we know, available on cloudy and rainy days. Moreover, sunlight varies in its duration and intensity with the time of day and the season of the year. In order that sunlight may be constantly available, irrespective of clouds, time or season, special lamps have been devised to produce artificial sunlight and other forms of light. Sunlight, whether natural or| artificial, has certain effects] upon the body. We know, from personal experience, that sun- light burns and tans ther skin. We. also know that to expose our - bodies to the sun and air. provided the exposure is proper- ly regulated, gives us a sense of! health and energy. + Studies made of the effects of light on the human body have shown that it is of great valuc in the prevention of rickets, that it is most useful in the treatment | of a limited number of diseases, that it is of questionable value in others, and that it is actually harmful in certain conditions. Because light treatments have some value is no justification for the exaggerated claims which' have been made, nor for the wide-spread use of lamps regard-| ing the extend of the power of which, the user is ignorant. There is mo simple rule for! applying light in the treatment of disease.
