Until within the last few days the summer of

the eastern part of the country. During the
month of roses light overcoats were often in
demand in the evening and few delicate peo-
pie who had gone to mountain resorts were
seriously disconnected by exceptionally chilly
atmosphere. This week, however, there has
been intense heat over a large part OF the
United States. Possibly 1t may be spasmodic
development. and not an assurance of lasting
conditions. Still. it has been severe enough to
cause many prostrations. and these should serve
as warning. Physical activity should be re-
strained during the warmest part Of the day,
and the emotions kept equally in hand Light
clothing and moderate diet are essential. but
they should be accompanied by a serene mind
and an eminently conservative pace.
