HEAT AND HEALTH

With the experience Of the past
few days of excessive heat, people
should be extremely careful not
only as to food and drink but ALEC
as to mental and physical exertion.
The Philadelphia Press offers
some timely advice, and it would
be we'll to carefully note the same.
The Press says that excessive heat
never harms those who avoid the
lesser risks of food, drink, sleep
and exposure.
"In hot weather all alcoholic
drinks have their peril. Animal
food likely;to be affected by the
heat if kept in hot days may bring
slight or acute poisoning, causing
indigestion. Loss of sleep weak
ems resistance to the heat. Haste
and hurry will do the same. Steady,
continuous hard work, physical or
mental, harms no one, provided it
is carried on within the usual
hours, under sanitary conditions
and without strain or pressure.

IMPKUDENCE OF WOMEN

IMPKUDENCE OF WOMEN
The reading public for the pas
week has been following the dali.
accounts Of two tragedies result
ing from the imprudsnce of tw'
women.
Miss Elsie Sigel. granddaughter
of Gen. Franz Sigel, mission work
er among the Chinese Of New
York, was foully murdered by
Chinaman with whom she had
been intimate. The othes tragedy
was the death Of Mrs. Gilbert
Woodill in Maryland at the hands
of Emmett E. Roberts, gambler
and sdventursr from Now York.
These murders occurred a. the re-
suit of imprudent steps by the two
women. Each Of the women pos.
sessed an inordinate passion for
admiration, and in the playing
with edged tools they suffered dis
aster. In commenting on these
two situations the Richmond News
Leader says:
"Mrs. Woodlll, in Maryland, a
young married woman of twenty,
permitted herself to be induced to
visit at his own home q man of
whom apparently she knew little
and of whom certainly she could
not have known much good. He
was q known crook and in hiding.
Elsie Sigel allowed herself to be
lured by horrible little Chinaman
TO his room. There Is NO. evidence
that either of thesel women in
tended any wrong doing. The
Sigel girl HAD the special misfor-
tune of some encouragement in her
folly by a headstrong and mis-
guided mother. Both women were
murdered in horrible circumstan.
ces and. worse than that, left
stained names to shame their fam
lies and friends. If they had
taken the advice of any men
friends Of responsibility or mem.
bers of their households, neither
would have gone to disgraceful
and dreadful death. Men know
men and have better opportuni-
ties for doing it than women posi-
bly, can have. A man knows that
the man who takes even the chance
of compromising the good maine of
q woman or girl means no good.
They know, too, which men should
be trusted and which distrusted."

The Valley route for the auto
mobile contest between New York
and Atlanta. appears to be far pre-.
fersble to the Richmond route.
The Richmond papers concede that
tho run made by the scout cars
over the eastern route was a fail
urs. The Valley route is full of
natural beauty, historic interest
and mostly an easy grade. Let
the Valley towns assert their
claims and this route will be select
I'd.
