 Above all, avoid anger. Keep your temper.
 While eating less don't forget to take plenty of exercise.
 Avoid alcohol. Total abstinence Is best, sparing use of liquor imperative.
 Easy shoes help to preserve the temper and keep down the temperature.
 Remember, as little meat as possible. Vegetables and cereals are the best.

 Persons often complain of suffering from heat when an overloaded stomach ii the only trouble.

She has learned to make much of little, to put variety and delicacy of flavor above mere quantity, to bring taste to the service of the slender purse. This Is not wholly from choice; 1t is partly from neces. sity, because beef and mutton are not as cheap In France as they have been with us. We need not lose our advan tages, but some part, at least, of the remedy for high prices It is well to sock in the direction in which they have been found h other countriea
