"   Curious how mothers motivated their children to stay tidy in the 1800s? Think home-cooked meals haven&amp;#039;t changed much in the past century? Is the awareness of the harmful effects of excessive sun exposure is a recent phenomenon? Check out the excerpts below from Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s July issue\u2026 125 years ago, 100 years ago, and 75 years ago.  JULY 1888 &amp;quot;With careful and constant example and now and then a warm word of approval these little homemakers of the next generation soon take healthy pride in keeping their dainty dresses and wraps neatly shaken out, turned on their linings and carefully hung or folded away from clinging lint and sifting dust. Give them pretty boxes for their prized, lace-trimmed aprons and dainty collars and bonnets; an elaborately embroidered shoe bag for the smart little button boots and leggings, and these little folks soon learn to delight in keeping their corner of mamma&amp;#039;s wardrobe in neatest order.&amp;quot; -From &amp;quot;The Children of the Household: Teaching Them the Care of Chambers of Clothing,&amp;quot; by Clarissa Potter  JULY 1913  Breakfast on a Saturday: Stewed rhubarb Minced lamb on toast Biscuits Coffee  Luncheon on a Tuesday:  Sardine rabbit Olives Buttered scones Tea  Sunday Supper, with Company:  Salmon (canned) salad with peas Lettuce sandwiches Ginger ale and mint punch   -From &amp;quot;What to Eat in July,&amp;quot; by Bertha E. Shapleig JULY 1938 &amp;quot;Many seem to fail to realize that a severe sunburn is a very serious health menace. A burn means that skin cells have been destroyed, that the protective layer of the body has been injured, and the path for poison&amp;#039;s entry into the body has been opened. Many also fail to realize that as little as five minutes of exposure may make the difference between healthful exposure and burn. Be moderate in your use of sun. Do not take a chance of evil effects by being in too much hurry to get that tanned skin... Let&amp;#039;s meet Nature&amp;#039;s requirement and make good use of July and August sun.&amp;quot; -From &amp;quot;Nature Gives us Sunlight\u2014Let&amp;#039;s Use it!,&amp;quot; by Dr. Walter H.
