which are OF heating nature and
which require long time to be digest
cd should be eliminated from our bills
Of fare. A great share OF what we eat
ordinarily is used TO keep us warm, serv.
ing merely as fuel in our bodily furnace.
In warm weather we are warm enough
without SO much heat inside; conse-
Quently We ought to eat sparingly. A
rational way 10 keep cool is to take
light meals and drink plenty of water
Ripe, juicy fruits may be partalxen OF

should avoid sweets, fats and flesh
foods. as those are conducive to heat
making. Sweets and fats are largely
earbonaceous, aud though flesh foods
are not directly heating, they are like

A great many people take ice water
and ice cream in the vain belief that
they will help to keep them cool, but 1t
is mistake. Hot water will quench
thirst much better than Ice water. As
to ice cream, the articles OF which IL is
