CARE IN EATlN c
PROPER CARE IN SELECTION OF
FOOD WILL PREVENT MANY
CASES OF ILLNESS.
over-Indusence In Fresh Fruits or
Hot Weather Drinks May Bring on
TroubIe-Many Good Things to Eat
Under the Ban.

During the past few weeks the So
called summer complaints" or more
scientifically named, intero-colitis, has
made business unusually brisk with
the doctors. Not only does this dis
ease occur among children where it is
common at this time of year, but
many adults are afflicted with it,
The introduction to the markets of
green vegetables together with the
warm humid days and rather cool
nights, is largely responsible for the
ailment. The eating of much vege-
tables or fruits, drinking cold drinks
slight colds or any one of a dozen
similar causes may send the unfortu-
nate person to the doctor or drug
store.
Luckily most of the cases are not
serious.
"The first thing for sufferers of sum
mer complaint to do is to avoid abso
lutely cold or iced drinks said a
physician last night Ice water, ice
tea, beer, ice cream, or anything cold
will aggravate the disease. Water as
1t comes from the hydrant can be
drunk freely without any injurious re
suits. In many cases we prescribe as
much water as the patient can drink.
Ban on Fruits.
But when it comes to eating, the
ban is much more severe. Apples
peaches, pears, plums, bananas, wa
termelons, musk melons, green corn
string beans, tomatoes, potatoes-al
fall fruits and vegetables come under
the category forbidden" Besides
these all foods of any nature with the
exception Of a very little dry toas
and few drops of warm, weak tea t.
wash 1t down, and perhaps some sof
boiled eggs, must not be considered
during the summer complaint period
Medicinal remedies are not necessar.
except in more serious cases.
Among many men the belief is cur
rent that this complaint is analogou!
to poisoning from snake bites and tn,
