The first hot waves of summer ire
felt more keenly than the Inter ones.
To become accustomed to change Of
season requires time even as change
OF climate or country does. Even with
diet. clothing and habits placed on
proper basis our bodies are rather slow
in attaining corresponding adaptation to
torrid conditions.
Most people can Withstand severe cold
weather better than extreme heat. II
cold outside We can light fires within.
In summer nature cannot be so readily
defeated. When the heavens are as brass
the earth IS parched and dried. the air
lifeless and 'mugy." there comes a
pitiful aggregation of suffering, and the
delicate often succumb to Illnesses to
which they would ordinarily rise superior.
If relief cannot be obtained by direct
means, much may be accomplished in
directly. In the choice OF foods. heating
meats and starchcs should be avoided.
too lavish Indulgence In iced beverages
should be Stunned. excitement of all
kinds be taboed and bodily activities sus-
pended as much as possible.
As the special diseases of the summer
season are typhoid, malaria. gastric and
intestinal disorders and all but malaria
are dependent upon our food and drink,
too much care cannot be taken to see
tina: these are fresh and pure. In hot
weather tho processes OF decay are very
rapid and stale foods should not be toll
Grated
Meats. FISH, fowls, milk. vegetables and
fruit should all be as fresh as possible.
CARE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator must be kept scrupu-
lousy clean In the summer II the health

cold air kills germs. In reality 1t pre-
serves them. Never allow the dripp.ngs
OF the refrigerator TO connect with the
sewer as Is often done In high priced
apartments In the city 1t should never
stand In a draft or where the sun or
wind can reach II. II possible have Il
in a pantry or air tight o.oset where the
ice man can have access to 1t from the
porch or outer hallway. Once week
the walls. shelves. traps. Ice chamber and
drain pipes should be thoroughly cean-
ed. taking out all the food, removing por-
table shelves. scading and airing them.
Beside this there should DO daily In
specton and w.ping off of any foreign
substance. II zinc lined. soap or soap
powders should not be used. Clear water
In winch a little borax or sal soda has
been dissolved Is best. Tiled or porcelain
lined refr!gerators can be Washed as
easily as II china dish. To cleanse the
drip pipe pour In boiling water from the
teakettle. then use the flexible long
handled brush that comes on purpose for
the cleansing of the pipe. If there Is n
portable drip pin wash thoroughly In
a mmonia water two or three times
week 10 remove the slime and sediment
that accumulates.
The best time to clean the refrigerator
is just before rciiling with fresh ice. Dry
and air thoroughly to avoid mildew. DO
not allow lot OF messy" left overs %
remain In tho ice box and do not put
} our fire china In there. Keep a supply
of small stone ware dishes on purpose
for holding left overs. Never put any
thing hot in the refrigerator. Chill first.
Never put bananas. onions. cabbage or
other strong smelling foods in the ice
box and keep butter. milk and cream in
a compartment by themselves. Butter is
best kept In u stone jar with close fitting
cover
To keep a lump OF charcoal In each
OF the refrigerator, renew
Ing once week Is a simple and excellent
way OF disinfecting.
BEWARE THE ICE.
The American habit of taking unllmit-
ed quantities Of Ice into the stomach liz
a most pernicous one. In the first place
SO little Ice is pure, much of 1t even hold |
ing germs OF typhoid. In the second
place II lowers the temperature of the |
body too rapidly. If there is any ques
ton about the purity OF the water sup
ply. 1t should all be boiled. then bottled |
and chilled tg placing next the ice This
makes 1t gratefully cold without the dan
ger OF infection.
Where iced tea plays a prominent role |
Ia tho family menu 1t should be made |
strained off the leaves. putting into glass
cans and after cooling, placed also next |
the ice.
