GET READY FOR WARM
WEATHER..


By making very gradual but decided
changes in the diet as the heat of summer
approaches, one can put the body in fair
~ good condition to go through the hot
test weather with comparative comfort.
One can leave of the heavy body
heating foods and use others just as ap-
petizing and nourishing TO the body and
as capable of giving reserve force to the
brain and nervous system. Prepare the
bdoy for the hot weather with as much
thought as you do your summer home,
and in building up the cells of the body
70 last you into the summer, select such
nourishment as will build the kind that
will tend to keep you cool and composed,
that will refresh and invigorate the sys-
TEN and permit you to enjoy the plea
sures of the summer in a cool and COM
Portable fashion quite inexplicable TO your
less fortunate neighbors who believe that
in order to keep up their strength and
power TO endure the extreme heat they
must continue to eat much the same
kinds and quantity of food they deemed
necessary to enable them TO endure the
cold weather.
Overeating of meat is one of the sins
Of nutrition common TO most people at
all seasons, and is most grievous-and
hazardous in consequence when INDUCED
in too freely in hot weather. The ele-
ments required for proper nutrition may
be obtained from other sources than ami
NAL food and these will give all the
nourishment the system can absorb with
out the internal heat of meat diet The
quantity of foodstuffs depends on the
amount and nature of the work the in
dividual must perform. The quality
whatever the nature of the food may be
must be of the very best. Hot weather
demands eternal vigilance on the part of
the housewife in order to guard against
possible sick2ess-the surest and most
frequent cause.-The eating or overeating
OF those most perishable foods-meats
that are not in wholesome condition, for
it is impossible to keep these even rea-
sonable length of time when the weather
is hot and humid. Then for economy of
money and time, peace of mind and COM
fort of body, study the possibilities Of
those foods which VIII make such condi-
tions possible.
Remember that if we do not put forth
much physical energy we do not require
a large amount OF heterogeneous and starch
matter in our diet; brain workers and
those of sedentary habits require but a
limited amount Of either, and excessive
indulgence viii soon bring on an attack
of indigestion. fresh fruits in profusion
in summer time-nuts in winter-should
show us tha- even the vegetable oils that
will produce heat and build up our nerves
is required in less amount in summer
Although nature provides us with a pro-
fusion oil fruits and fresh vegetables for
our hot weaIner diet mistake not their
purpose. Serious illness on account Of
fermentation may be caused, even when
these foods are in perfect condition, by
indiscriminate mixing together of some
vegetables requiring considerable time for
digestion and acid fruits. Eat vegetables
with scavory dishes and simple made
buildings and the acid fruits at meals
when the slowly digested vegetables are
absent.
Excess in drinking in hot weather is
quite as bad as overlooking the stomach
with food, for if one drinks freely during
extreme heat and while exercising it
thirst. but tends rather TO increase it. the
only result bein gto establish a vicious
circle of imbibng and perspiring;" in
creasng instead of diminishing the ply
steal discomfort.
Drink freely in the morning before be-
ginning exercise or work of the day and
in the evening when you can rest, and
you will be surprised how quickly you
will be satisfied and refreshed with a
moderate quantity of cool-not ice-cold-
beverages. Another point that should be
carefully observed during hot weather is
10 eat slowly. \ third of the quantity Of
food eaten by the average individual will
prove sufficient when proper amount Of
time is given to its preparation, in the
mouth, for digestion and absorption If
we eat too fast we eat too much in order
to get the amount of nourishment that
our bodies demand each day. With the
stomach overloaded with a combination
Of opposing elements and deluged with
the various summer beverages we call
cooling drinks. il is small wonder We suf-
fer with the heat and summer diseases"
