HOT WEATHER FOOD.

The selection Of food for hot weather is an impor-
tant question. We should avoid an excess Of fats
cut down the butter ration and indulge freely
In fruits and food easy of digestion. One meat
meal per day Is sufficient during hot weather.
An Ideal breakfast Is Grape-Nuts. treated with a
little cream (which, by the way, supplies the nee
essary fat in very dgestible form. n cup of
Postum Cereal Food Coffee, hot If cold IL should
have little lemon juice squeezed IN; then some
fruit, either cooked raw: also perhaps two
slices of entire wheat bread with very thin
spread of butter, perhaps little Grapefruit But
ter. which Is different article than Grape-Nuts
A breakfast OF this sort is perfectly adapted to
the wants Of the system that one goes through the
heat OF the day in comfort as compared with the
swesty. disaFteea5le condition of one improperly
fed. Once put IN practice. the plan win never be
abandoned daring the hot days for the difference In
ones personal comfort Is too great to be easily for
gotten

Of the river. representing AnacOstia, Con-
gress Heights and the other suburbs about
here. called yesterday upon Messrs. Mirlck
and Crosby of the street railway syndicate
which owns the AnacOstia and Capital rail-
way lines, TO inquire into the recent change
made in the operation of these roads by
the withdrawal of the Capital railway ears
from the navy yard route. the consequent
stoppage Of the transfer system with the
Capital Traction Company, and the issu-
ing Of transfers instead to the Metropoli-
tan car, at AZ street and Maryland avenue
southwest.
The railway officials were informed of
the objections of the people this side
TO the new arrangement. and were asked
TO resume the transfer with the Capital
Traction Company The reply was. in eff
feet, that the break with the Capital Trac-
ton Company had to come sooner or later,
and that the move made had been con-
sidered advisable now by the syndicate
managers. They pointed out that it will
be but d few months before the electric
system will be in operation on the Ana
costa line. and they asked that conditions
be borne until then They did not accede
to the request TO resume the transfer at
