AN INDIAN SUN ROOM
Kanjitsinhji, tlio famous Indian cricketer, was a, great lover of children. When he Lecamo the ruler of his little State- of Jamnagar, after retiring from the cricket field, he was determined to introduce modern hygiene and present-day scientific methods in his kingdom. One of his schemes was to give to sickly children opportunities of healthy development. Eanji used to go each winter to Aix-les-Bains for treatment, and was greatly struck with tho idea of tho solarium, whero the full benefits of the sun could be had. He was determined to introduce one in Jaumagar, nnd, though he died before its completion, his nephew has carried the work through. The solarium has sixteen cubicles built with glass, which allows the healing Tays of the sun to pour in. It revolves on an axle and stands on a strongly-built cement baso. Children suffering from tuberculosis, rheumatism, and anaemia will receive frr>e treatment here*.
