GOOD ADVICE
From Q Physician Who Kaows.

DR.. s. 3. Houls submits the following
recommendation for persons exposeo To the

!. Persons much exposed to the rays ID

should be clad in light clothing. Linen coats
are TO be preferred ON sccoun, al reflect
Ing the direct ray, Of the sun. Dars cloth

should be loose, 30 as not To imPing. on or
pinch the body any~here. Underscar
should lie mixed material, cotton aud wool,
mot too thick and heavy-xocl alone IL too
heating; preferable To either ia nay opinion
are knit or netting un,ierg Arn,ent- n,~ very
common in our SHOPS, as they ATE perforated
with little squares or aIr-ehsmirIs ali over

2. The diet should he light, principally
vegetable; very Iitiie meals should be
used. as they are heat producing. Supper
or tea must be exceptionally light: cap Of

A little sour wine in iced lemonade is very
grateful and admissible.
I. Cold wafer will loxer the tempcrs-
