FOOD AND DRINK IN SUMMER.
Do Not Drink Too Much, Eat Sparing.
iy Of Animal Food.

To keep the skin in a proper condi-
ton during the varying seasons OF the
year Is always a matter of great diff
culty-that Is to say, as far as a de-
gree of dryness of moistness Is con-
cerned. To secure the happy medium
is most peoples ambition. l have on
previous occasions discussed the
causes and prevention OF excessive
perspiration, but at this time of year,
when all the atmospheric and possible
causes are present for the production
of over-activity of the sweat glands, 1t
may not be inappropriate to repeat
what / have said before. Excessive &C.
tivity of these glands in the hot
weather Is Natures method OF reduc-
ing the bodily temperature, and,
further, within limits, the secretion OF
sweat Is to be, II not encouraged, at
least accepted as inevitable. The only
question, therefore, that need be con-
sidered is how to restrict the amount
within reasonable points. The most
obvious means of preventing an ex-
cessive secretion of water on the skin
is to restrict the actual intake Of fluid
into the body. In hot weather most
people drink a great deal more than
they DO on other occasions, and 1t Is
quite certain that the more we drink
the greater the thirst, and consequent
ly there Is a tendency for the amount
to increase in somewhat alarming
| ratio.
In hot countries 1t Is found that the
best way to prevent thirst is to re-
strict the intake of fluid to a very con.
| siderable degree. This Is certainly a
very ~disagreeable form Of moral self
| discipline In the first instance, but az
ter the initial discomforts have been
overcome, the reward is quite com
mensurate with the trouble taken.
| Whatever view may be taken with re-
khro 10 sn~ ---~.nt of fluid actually
taken, there can be no dUuDU ...+so.
ever that alcoholic beverages of every
kind have far nor potent influences
on the production Of sweat than have
simple teetotal or ~non-alcoholic bever
ages, such as lemonade or diluted lime
juice.
Food also has a very important In
fuence, for by its combustion within
the body there Is a corresponding pro
duction of heat which has to be dis
sipated in some way or other. A yer,
restricted diet should therefore always
be ~entoined in hot weather. Vege
tables and fruit, which consist for the
most part of water and contain blu
little combustible material, are oh
viously adapted to the conditions o
high atmospheric temperatures. Ami
NAL food, eggs, butter, oils. and fat
of all kinds, inasmuch as their com
bustion Is effected with the produc
ton of much heat, should De avoide'
