HOT WEATHER DIET.
The doctor sauntered in looking
maddeningly cool in her pale blue
chambray waist and her light weight
black silk skirt. She eyed the heated
individual lying in n muslin negligee
on the lounge with some disapproval.
The heated individual grunted out
greeting, famed MS vigorously as she
could, took drink of iced lemonade
from glass pitcher ut her elbow and
then mathematical the weather, The
doctor listened with professional pa
tience.
"What did you have for breakfast
this morning." she demanded finally,
removing temptation in the form of
iced drinks to distance and seating
herself on the foot OF the lounge.
"Could scarcely eat any breakfast. ."

"Um," remarked the doctor in non
committal tones. "Did you have
cream with your coffee?"
"Yes, of course" said the patient
who wished to be treated for heat.
"Do you really wish to be cool,
healthy and energetic Tor the rest of
the summer?' demanded the DOCTOR

and languid? You may proceed on the
former assumption, said the patient
aippantly.
Every WE'LL" said the doctor, be-
ginning to write aprescription. When
it was written she handed it to tho
patient, who read:
"Breakfast: fruit, plenty CT it;
whole wheat or graham bread without
butter; coffee, one cup without cream.
Occasionally on rainy or cool days,

"Will you be kind enough to cx-
plain this remarkable document3"
asked the patient when she had read
it.
"Cheerlully," said the doctor. cal
most all the ills that flesh is heir to in
summer are due to improper diet.
Our climate differs considerably dur
ing July and August from that of tho
arctic regions, and yet we store away
heat-producing food in n way that
would astonish tho Eskimos, [ verify
believe. We eat meat as freely as we
do in December.
eve take fats into our systems with
perfect ndinerence-cream, milk and
butter. Besides this, we force the
stomach to do as hard work in sum-
mer as it does in winter until it rebels.
Then we complain of not having any
appetite, or being tagged out, and fin
ally we come down with dyspepsia.
Now, the way to keep cool is to eat
cooling ioods-that doesn't mean cold
food, observe and to give the stomach
as easy time as possible. The less
work it has to do the cooler the body
will be. Fruits and fresh vegetables
are laxatives II plenty of them are
eaten, they will give sufficient nourish-
nent. Cold drinks are delusion and
a snare. They chill the interior of
the stomach. The surrounding mir
seems hotter by contrast and perspi-
ration is checked. Moderate perspi-
ration is one of the greatest aids to
coolness. Now, will you try my pre-
scription?'
"For afortnight, agreed the heated
individual.
"That will mean all the summer"
said the doctor, cordially. "Once
tried it is always used. New York
