In the light of this statement 1t appears
that there are weaknesses in the tie which

There are great many places in the
United States where the summers heat Is

III Washington, but even here the warmth
Is sufflcient to cause much mental and
physical discomfort to those persons who
do not make rational preparation for the
rising temperature. Sunstroke is easily
achieved by the careless and many varie-
ties of bodily suffering may be acquired
either through ignorance or through fail
ure to obey well-known laws enacted by
nature and frequently published. Overeat-
Ing and intemperanoe in the consumption
of iced liquids are dangerous indulgences at
any time and they are especially dangerous
at such time as this. Overwork is always
deplorable error; when the thermometer

intoxicating drinks that are calculated are
not likely to be injurious in small Quanti-
