~ In these warm days people
should be very careful what they
drink. The tendency of some peo-
pie to deluge their stomachs
with all sorts of iced beverages,
such as mixed drinks, soda and
mineral waters, aud others of their
kind, is very deleterions, and I'm.
wholesome. These drinks, if taken
moderately, are often refreshing and
beneficial, but intemperance, even
IN cold water, is dangerous. The
best rule is to drink the least you
comfortably can, and keep your
temper, even if the mercury goes
through the top of the thermometer.
