IF YOU CAN STAND THIS
Well, Then, Hot Weather Has No Ter
rors for YOu-Possible Relief.

This is the time of year when the society for
the prevention OF the question is it hot
enough for you?" can get in its good work by
righteously staying all who use it. 1t is hot
and If there is any one who has not found it
out he has not been heard from as yet and it
is more than likely that such person does not
reside within the limits OF the District 1t has
been hot, il is still hot. and it is probable that
it will keep on getting hotter. This Is the only
satisfaction that one gets from studying
the thermometers and the weather maps
People stood around trying to keep
cool when they were unable to sit
down somewhere in the shade and keep up the
same pursuit. People who could STAYED IN
doors and people who couldn't wished they
could. Nobody seemed in n hurry. Even mes
senger boys, for once. took their own time
and other peoples money. Street car men suf-
fered, so did policemen. wagon drivers. and, in
fact. every one who had to be out in the sun
hight and everybody else Soda water foun-
tains did a thriving business as did also the
itnerant dealer in iced lemonade and there

high temperature and all the moisture that is
IN the air something will have to happen.
POSSIBLE RELIEF THURSDAY PROM THE WESTERN
COOL WAVE.
''There Is a cold wave now out in Dakota that
promises material relief for the northwest.
They need it, too. for IN Iowa and other parts
Of the west the mercury has stood at 1922 for
