Hot Diet.

A great many people pay little or no
attention to the kind of diet they should
adopt with the varying seasons and hot
or cold weather eat food that they
should not for the comfort and the well
fare of the body. Especially is this
true during the summer months, when
a proper diet will materially assist in
the avoidance of many Of the discom-
forts of the heated term. Avoid heat
producing foods, says Cooking Club.
With good bread and butter, fruits and
vegetables there is no need of overtax-
ing the system with meat and grease.
And do not %overeat. Don't force the
appetite and overload the system. II
you do not crave food there is some
thing wrong with your general sys-
tenn, which requires something besides
food. At such times try fasting in a
limited degree. Put your stomach on
short r~ations, and give the machinery a
little rest. Appetite will take care of
itself if the general system is in good
condition. A good appetite is indicative
of good health.

A bunch Of wise commissioners

And they had found It, seemingly,
Sufficiently well stored.
These questions they had handed him:
What line Of talk would o
Employ in shaving business men?"
Also, What would you do
In case q man refused to talk
And rudely snapped, Get through"
''How many times should you inquire
OF each man whom you shave.
How do you like this weather, sir?'
And as you deity lave
His raw, scraped face, do you discuss
The trust dilemma grave?"

The barber answered right,
And, though his razor grieve o sore,
He's now a licensed knight.
His talk Is smooth: as for his work,
That matters not a mite!
