The excessive heat of the past
week has been terribly trying in
every part of the country, and has
resulted in long list of fatalities
and prostrations in the chief cities
of the Union. Hundreds have been
killed and prostrated, and the suf-
fering brought on by it untold, Too
much care cannot be exercised in
the matter of food and drink, ,especi-
ally the latter. Avoid iced bever-
ages, keep as quiet as possible, bathe
often, drink lemonade, coffee or tea
cooled by standing in iced water,
don't worry or talk politics.
