Suggestions for Summer.

A thoughtful correspondent sends
in the following timely suggestions
about the care of the health during
the trying summer season.
The immense amount of water
which has fallen this spring will
cause, it is thought, greater liability
to sickness during the summer and
fall than usual. 1t behooves us there
fore to pay special attention to our
health and to the wholesomeness of
our surroundings.
Don't let pleasant moonlight or
starlight nights tempt you to give up
some of your sleeping time. Sleeping
is not waste of time but on the con-
trary great saving. Go to bed early
and get up early in order to get as
much work as possible done in the
cool of the morning.
Be careful about Geld meals. They
save work for the housekeeper per-
haps, but they do not save your di-
gestive organs. Merelya cup of hot
water or tea will be sufficient to coun-
teract the evil effects of a cold supper
Cellars, back yards and alleys need
much attention this summer. A wet
cellar under house is fertile breed
er of DOCTORS bills. A yard grown up
with rank shrubbery and weeds is
dangerous. From the standpoint both
of beauty and health clear clean-kept
lawn is better.
Another very productive source of
sickness is impure water. 1t is hard
for those who cannot have their drink
ing water subjected to chemical ex-
aminati on to judge of its purity. You
will avoid all risks however, by boil
ing and allowing it to cool before
using.
All these things will avail little or
however, unless you can man.
age to keep a cheerful heart and a
mind free from anxiety. Don't wor-
ry. If you can help things, help
them. If you can't it won't do any
good to fret. 1t will bring wrinkles
and dyspepsia and insomnia and all
the other ills that man is heir to. ga
merry heart doeth good like medi-
cine"
These are all old health principles
and are doubtless familiar to the REG
readers, but we need to be
reminded of them once in a while and
urged to practise them.
