How 70 Keen Cool.

The way to keep cool is to keep good hu-
mored. There is no doubt that good humored
men are sometimes warm, owing to the fact
that they are jolly and fat, but no one ever
heard them complaining about the weather
to any extent, unless it Is when they are
caught out in shower without an umbrella
The Washington Post, however, says that
the way to keep cool Is 10 eat sparingly Of
meat. but this Is nonsense. The coolest and
most agreeable person on earth is the meat
eater, and the most irritable and unhappy Is
the person whose digestion viii not permit
him 70 eat meat.
Eat lean meat-tender steak and chicken
with your vegetables, and you VIII have no
trouble with the heat Pork should be avoid
ed, Of course, but veal, mutton and all the
vegetables, POI liquor and dumplings, butter
milk and corn bread, go to make up dinner
TO be enjoyed
Above eli things. let ice alone. 1t is most
deceptive affair. II is not only the indus Of
microbes and bacteria, bat it is unhealthy
even when it is pure. It parsiyzes the
stomach, ruins the digestion and leads TO

about eight or ten coats OF varnish are laid
on, and at every third coat the varnish Is
rubbed with fine glass paper to remove the
brush marks.
When all the varnisn has been put ON and
has become hard, the surface ia rubbed with
fine punice stone powder and water on wool
