We are now having the hottest
weather of the year. The torrid heat
that arrived last Saturday is general
over the country and great suffering
is reported in the large cities where
many deaths have resulted from sun
stroke. 1t is said thati the follow
ing rules are observed, sunstroke
will be avoided: Take sponge
bath daily. Avoid excessive exer-
ton. Avoid alcoholic stimulants.
Sleep eight hours. Use an umbr-
ella when walking in the sun. Do
not trv to check perspiration.
From the reports that have
been received from Des Moines it
is evident that the members of the
Fifty-third regiment of the National
Guard, which is in camp there, are
not having one continuous round of
pleasure. The extreme heat has
made it almost unbearable, at times.
Under the regulations, they are re-
1ni Ell to drill eight hours, but the
time was reduced to six hours on
Monday: The Des Moines Register
and Leader of yesterday says: The
hospital corps and the red cross
wagon were kept busy taking care
of heat stricken militiamen all day
yesterday at the encampment of the
Fifty-third regiment of the National
Guard at Camp Croker. There
were no serious cases, but the hard
drill in the terrific heat caused many
of the men unused to hard outdoor
work to drop exhausted from the
ranks. The only really serious case
that the hospital has had in the en-
campment arose because OF
Company D, Manchester, committed
the indiscrection of smoking his
first cigar when coming to Des

was so badly upset that he had
serious commissions, and only the
best Of care brought him around.
He is now almost we'll and will be
out of the DOCTORS care in day or
two.

In Memcrmian

Farewell, Farewell, Laura, dear,
We have spent one sad and lonely
year;
You left us with an aching heart,
The day that you and we did part
she passed away like summers
breeze,
With scarcely parting sigh;
She passed from this dark world
To dwell with Christ on high.
Though the pearly gates Of heaven
Passed the one we loued so dear;
And thought 1t best to take her from
us,
Though II left our home so drear.
We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath the ehastning rod,
One must be just; but let us all
Prepare to meet our God.
She's gone, but was 30 young and
fair,
She slumbers sweet and knows no care,
Her heart was true, her life was
young;
Yet, not our will, but God be done.
In loving remembrance Of our dear
sister.and friend, Laura Naomi Riner,
who departed this life one year ago.
