Dress and Drink Daring the Warm Sea-
son-Beware of Iced Water.
Cleanliness is next TO gOdli-
ness, and in this hot weather, when you
are overcome mentally and physically,
the very best thing TO bring you back to a
normal status is cold water plenty of it,
fresh linen and a continuous care for the
eXternals, as well AS the internalities. A
dirty face and an unshayen beard are to
me like sOiled collar or rumpled shirt
front, or unpublished shoes. Star right in
the morning, close right at night and half
the battle is won. 1t is difficult for many
TO determine just what 10 wear in such a
constantly shifting temperature as We
have here but it seems to me that the
change in clothing should be Your outer
apparel, rather than your underware.
If, for instance a cold rain comes up, a
thicker suit of clothing should be put on If
a dog day overtakes you, gossamer is the
only wear have for many years found
flannel or serge the most comfortable and
healthful apparel.
Frequent changes of underwear are de-

fault. wear in summer exactly as do
in winter, not quite 50 heavy, cork -Soled
shoes. The consequence is that the rain
never penetrates nor does the heat affect
my feet Perfect comfort and cOolness
are attained by the wearing of cork soled
shoes. 1t Is a mistake, also to go in days
like these with the fashionable high-cut
garment. 1t hugs you closer than a
brother. Lay it off and you catch cold in
your stomach or bowels, and then, if you
are built as am, hades begins and HEAVIER
is long way off. A vest for such weather
rs this should have three buttons only,
and be very low cut, exposing we'll laun-
dered, weil-bu shirt, which not only
looks well, but is cool, inviting To the eye
and comfortable to the body.
Always carry an umbrella. If It rains
there you are, don't you know, and if the
sun comes down and you are idiUtic
enough to be out in it, protect what head
you have with intervening shade How

particular case by the Intervention of my
parachute friend it would be difficult to

Some drink tea, some coffee, some water,
some lemonade, some beer some claret,
some whisky and champagne. am
always surprised when | see man
fill his stomach the first thing in the
morning with a glass Of iced water, The
ordinary stomach is tired anyhow, and
when yawning, listless, il wakes with the
rest of the system, it feels like stretching
and resting, folding its hands for little
more sleep and little more slumber, just
the same as the rest OF US feel
What, then, must be its surprise to have
thrust into ii, through no agency of its
own, it the unwilling receptacle, a torrent
OF its deadliest enemy, iced water. Hav-
ing swallowed glass of iced water the
ordinary idiot thrusts into the same stom-
ach his oatmeal, his berries, his beef steak
and potatoes and his hot roll, and wonders
that he feels heavy.
What ought to be taken?
Well, if you must do anything, sip a
tumbler of boiling water. The languid
stomach is then surprised by friendly
shoulder at its wheel The hot water
soon makes friends with the gastric juice,
and by the time you are ready to thrust
the meal, and the steak and the rest Of it
into yourself, the stomach stands like "A
base ball catcher on the field with hands

Gospel OF Gods Pure Air.
Our labOring men, who are cleanly clad
on the Sabbath, take their wives and lit
tie ones to the islands, or go into the coun-
try TO a grove, TO get Gods pure air, are
in far better mood to be reached by gos-
pei that breaches kind, loving Father
than they would to be deprived of ali such
blessings through church influence. We
advise our clerical friends to let other peo-
pies comfort alone. We attend church
every Sabbath, and wish our readers
would do the same. 1t is great benefit
to them to hear things new and old out of
Gods holy word; but pure air, and the
