Work, and a Plenty of
Recreation.

These are days Of heat so injurious
that it often becomes fatal A seem
ingly trivial negligence may, in one or
two days. induce death. From New
York and Chicago the fatalities from
excessive heat and sunstrOke are being
heraldcd. The summer sun has its
dangers no less than the winter wind.
To avoid sunstroke or 10 escape being
overcome by the heat, Or. william G.
Woodward. Health officer Of the Dis
trict. says the following rules ought TO
be strictly observed:
!. Live on a light diet and refrain
from heavy foods, such as beef.
2 " ear light clothes and do not
cruelty yourself on the cross of fashion.
3. Avoid heavy work 50 far as pos
sible. Long hours may not necessarily
be injurious. but too much concentrated
labor at high tension is harmful
Avoid All Intoxicants.
l. Avoid all intoxicating beverages.
In fact. the only good drink IS a little
ice-cold water. without the ice.
;. Use the electric fans to keep the
air In circulation whenever possible.
s. Never run for a street car.
! :. Never stay for any length Of time
! In the water when out swimming and
! exposed to the rays of the sun.
s When you feel the blood rushing to

at once whatever you are doing and re-
sumo work only after you feel normal
