WHAT BRAZIL Is DOING FOR
ITS WORKERS.

We of the North who arrogste to
ourselves the right to the appellation
Americans, forgetting those who are
working out big national problems
south of Panama, will do well to con-
slider the manner in which these ques-
tions are being handled.
An example is afforded in the effort
of Rio de Janeiro to provide comfort
able, sanitary homes for its working
people. George L. Anderson, consul
general of the United States in Brazil's
capital city, tells the story thus:
The efforts made by the government
OF the federal district Of Rio de
JaneirO to provide sufficient accept
able housing for its working classes,
which led the municipality itself to
construct a number of tenement
houses d year ago, have led to the
letting of a contract by the ministry
OF public works, in behalf OF the
federal district, TO Senior Mario Rocne
for the cons TuctlOn OF the necessary
supply of houses, the number pro-
Vided for being minimum OF $40
houses and maximum number OF
1000 houses the exact number to be
determined as the enterprise proceeds
Four types Of houses are 10 be con-
structed One is to accommodate
three persons, and 70 be rented Tor
$3.50 gold per month; the second, to
accommodate five persons, at $3.50;
the third, TO accommodate seven per
sons, at SIS, and the fourth, 10 &C
commodate ten persons, at S24.
The contractor viii be allowed en-
trance free of ali duty for all ma
terial covering fifteen years, eXemp-
ton from local taxes for the same
period, the power of condemnation OF
briyafe property for the sites of such
houses, and similar privileges. Ihe
full complement of houses OF the two
smaller classes must be completed
within two years.
'But this is paternalism," cry some
of our eminent soeiologists. Very well,
call it that. The effort at least shows
that the people of Brazil are very
close to the government, and the gov
eminent is really trying to benefit the
people

TROPIC HEAT--HOW TO MAKE
1T BEARABLE.

Tariff and the trusts, politics and
business, wars and rUmors of wars,
fade into the neither distance when
the sun really begins to do business.
Grim tragedy is in the heat that is
fairly upon us if we disregard the
lessons of hygiene, if we place self
indulgence aboSe health, fashion above
common sense.
Avoid intoxicants. That way lies
heat stroke and sudden death. Most
cases of fatal results from heat-stroke
(popuiarly called sun-strokel are, those
of persons who use intoxicants to ex-
cess.
Be clean inside and outside. See to
it that the intestines are not clogged
and that the pores are kept open.
Drink plenty of water, avoiding ice
water. aud battle frequently. More de
ponds upon the Observance Of this ad-
vice than upon all the other sugges-
tons combined
Diminish the meat portion of your
daily diet and increase the proportion
of fresh vegetables and fruits.
While you viii eat less than in win
ter. you should still eat enough to
preserve your strength. Many cases OF
heat exhaustion, which is not the same
as heat-stroke, happen because persons
are insufficiently nohrished.
Dress in lightweight, loose clothing
The garments should be particularly
light and loose at the wrists and neck
Indeed, an ideal summer garb leaves
free the throat and forearm.
Try to get nine hours rest in bed
and eight hours sleep nightly. The
person who sleeps badly, who does not
rest at night, is prone to the sudden
rise Of temperature that is the signal
of heat strokes onslaught and to the
quick drop in temperature which is the
mark OF the attack OF heat-exhaustion
Watch all your bodily symptoms
and functions carefully. II you find
your head throbbing, your skin dry
and hot with no appearance Of perspira-
ton, send for a physician. While you
are waiting for him, pour cold water
over your head, neck, and wrists. Then
wait as comfortably as you may for
his arrival in the coolest place you
may find, keeping an ice bag or cloths
wrung out of cold water at your head
neck and wrists.
Avoid the direct rays Of the sun a.
much as possible. Hunt the shade Of
trees and buildings while walking,
Don't hurry. Take plenty of time on
your walks. Avoid violent exercise
and hard work in the sun as much
as possible. II you must be in full
sunlight, wear a wet cloth in your hat
and let its damp folds lie upon the back
Of your neck.
Don't worry. A troubled condition
of mind interferes with digestion and
with the other bodily functions. 1t
depresses the whole physical tone TO a
level that makes possible both heat
stroke and heat-eXhaustion. BE cheer
ful, optimistic, content.
If it shall be possible, relax your
mind and your body in perfect rest
during a portion of the heated hours.
Reserve your ealls-this is particularly
for the women-for the cooler hours Of
evening. Do your shopping as early in
the day as you can.
If your fellow-workman or a stranger
shall be stricken and no physician shall
be at hand, heed this advice:
Note if his skin is hot and dry, his
breathing harsh and loud, and his
muscles tense. If these symptoms are
present he is probably suffering from
heat stroke. Remove his clothing ard
