February 1, 1929 WILMETT 'E· ' LIFE 25 NOONTIDE SUN IS HELD BEST HEALTH. PROMOTER Stat~ Health AuthoritY cautions Against · T~o Much Reliance· · · Upon Ultra.;. Violet - ,t \Vith the high . pressure sales seas'on· for ultra-violet lamps and window glass at its peak, ·Dr. Isaac D. Rawling~. state health director, issued a state ment this week pointing out that two . minutes in t}:le open sunlight at noou yields rriore beneficial rays to the office · worker or school child than eight hours behind any . sort of glass while the alleged ultra-lamps which are not fully useless have to be used wi·h considerable cauti'on not to be actuallv dangerous. Short-cuts to ·health, he declared, usually turn out to be rainbow goW . and the present passion for quick doses of ultra-violet may prove to · be this. "The short, cold rays of the sun, called ultra-violet because they fall beyond the violet end of the spectrum, are doubtless of tremendous value to health, b. e ing especially valuable as a preventive and cure of rickets, certain types of joint diseases and tubercutn. sis," Dr. Rawlings said. They give tone to postive health. They will not, however, penetrate ordinary glass nor will they penetrate clothing, while smokeJ dust and clouds in the air screen them out to a large degree. f n the winter the supply from the sun is meager in this latitude. Capitalize Health Fad "These facts have led to the manufacture and sales promotion of elec tric lamps reputed to give off the ultra· violet rays and to certain kinds of window glass reputed to admit the ultra-violet rays from the sun. Som~ of the lamps do yield an abundance of the rays while others yield none at all. Those that produce the ray.; should be used with considerable caution in ordtr 'to avoid burns and actual damage to health. Such lamps should never he purchased and used except upon the advice and prescription of a physician. Most of the very cheap tamps are a:; harmless as they are useless." "Window glass made of pure quart:~ wilt admit practically all of the short ultra-violet ray.; that strike it but glass made of quartz costs several hundred dollars for a piece large enough for an ordinary window. The various suhstiute glass on the market admit, on the average, about 25 per cent of the sun's ultra-violet rays. "Under special conditions these glasses may be used advantageously. Experiments have shown, however, that a few minutes In the open sunlight · at noon will give to the office worker O!' school child a greater amount of ultraviolet rays than will reach in a whole day the chair or desk through a win .. dow with all glass removed. This suggests that a ten minute walk at noon on sunny days wilt pr~e more irradiation than any sor_yf glass in the windows. Valuable for Hospital Use "A good quality of the .;pecial glass ·wh'ich admits a significant amount of ultra-violet rays can be used to great advantage, however, in the construe· tion of solaria in hospitals and sanitariums where particular types of pa: tients are treated. Some advantage may accrue in home3 where young children could thus be exposed to sunlight when otherwise they would not . The whole problem is medical, however. and should be practiced only after mefhcal advice is sought. "The fellow who thinks that he can fool natur:e by exposjng himself at hi.; convenience to a few minutes of lamp or window therapy daily is headed straight for disappoint~ent.
