What causes 1t?
 Think for minutef F-
 In the summer every form of decay and fermentation Is many times as active as in winter.
 If milk becomes too warm 1t sours, cur dles. turns to cheese. It will do it in a baby's stomach and bowels as quickly as In pan.
 If you leave meat of the ice it won't keep It becomes tainted and infected With vermin. Garbage rots and sours In the swill barrel in the summer heat. If your food remains even a short time un- dlgested in your stomach and bowels, cur ing the summer heat, 1t sours, creates overheats.
 dough begins to rise" that it gets warm and makes bubbles of gas that swell ur the sponge That's fermentation, and is all right when 1t takes place outside ci cape into the air and leave only the good foodstuffs behind ready for baking. Not until baked are they fit to eat.
 But if 1t takes place in the stomach eno meat. vegetables, fruit. milk. eggs. or what not you will be sick-sick with g sour stomach. a sick headache, furreo tongue lazy liver, acid urine, dlarrnea, dysentery collie, cholera morbus, gaundice rash pimples. prickly heat and II you are inclined to piles or chronic constipa- lion all these things will be jrst that much worse. as you set the mash or sponge in the heat of the stove to sour
 Microbes and Tapeworms.
 Everybody knows that summer neat Ia vors the insect world-m ila.fdl mosqui- toes. bugs, worms, maggots. DggeTs ca.. erpilIars flies, carrion-beetles; all are lively and hard at work getting their i've Nhood out of the summer fermenting, oe, caying animal and vegetable matttef lrn fills the universe during the not speii Nature has created billions of animais large and small, to help destroy this pol sonous stuff. Same way in the body. Heat helps mi crobes, bacteria, ptomaines, all dSease germs to breed and feed in the bowels oi man. and wherever a weakness appe ars there they swarm in myriads The ter rible increase of the death rate among babies in the summer time is caused Iy the curd of mothers milk souring lH their little insides and forming the preed- ing spot of dozens of varieties of disease germs, causing collie, vomiting, cnoierd infantum. summer complaint, scarlet ie, yer and all the other summer horrors ol childhood life. Half-grown children are apt to have worms at this season of the year; and it is hard to tell whether they have or not. The commonest symptom IS a nervous picking at the nose. Grown up people, too. have tapeworms wlthoul knowing it, and many tapeworm oorn in summer time has lived and grown TOT years and starved the unfortunate, un' willing and unconscious individual With whom 1t made its home.
 Appendicitis.
 This dreadful disease which killed un- told millions before the medical pt ofeS- sion discovered it's cause, Ia the direct re- suit of the souring of food in the bowels in nine cases out of ten 1t is clused by l grape seed or berry seed lodging in the "appendix, a certain kink in the lntes- tines. and there starting to work In Gammation sets in and the whole abdo- in former years the victim wou'i die on account of little grape seet that Wuck in the bowels instead of being thrown out of the system. Nowadays the ic cctors cut open the body, dig out the grape seed and straighten out the kink with a knife. Not pleasant process, you may be sure.
 What Nature Does.
 The first provision nature has made to get rid of the nasty, sour mess in the body caused by summer heat Is to drive it out through the pores. That's why I per son perspireG so much in the summer time; and every one knows that perspira, tion-sweat-is sour. Underwear removed after a hot day smells sour, and all sweat is sour and offensive. showing that It re- moves acid filth from the body.
 Then. again. nature cuts down your ap- petite, because when you eat square meal parts ot it sour before 1t can be al, sested and the machine backs up untl the sour stuff can he gotten rid Of. NearlS everybody loses flesh iC the summer tsIne because the food is not digested property Of course. nature wants everybody to
