DR.. Crumbine Gives Out Hot Weather
Hints.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine of the state
board of health has given out the fol-
lowing hints for the hot weather:
people should drink cool water.
Ice water gives only temporary relief.
It's reaction is detrimental. Investiga-
ton has shown that very heavy per-
centage of the people overcome by
heat are those who have been taking
too many cold drinks. chief among
which are ice water They go out into
the hot sun and the reaction often
causes prostration or a collapse.
THE frequent filling of the stomach
with ice water upsets digestion. A
blunted appetite is often the first
symptom. The natural keen desire for
food VaniShes, and there seems to be
only a desire for real cold water. A
lost appetite under all normal condi-
lions is usually a good index of the
condition of the stomach and light eat
ing is a good thing.
II do not take any stock in the fads
and ideas put forward by faddists
about summer eating, that one should
eat only fruits, or only Vegeta bles, or
that sort of thing The best summer
diet is a light mixed one. BY that I
mean a generous sprinkling of fruits
and vegetables and a little meat One
Will feel cooler for decreasing the total
quantity of food eaten, because you
take less fuel producing material, or
heat into your body.
sleep is an important factor. Peo-
pie are much disturbed by loss Of
Sleep Every opportunity Of getting a
proper amount of sleep should be
courted and it will pay to make your
self comfortable so that you can get
rest. Lack of sleep is a powerful fac
tor in depressing vitality.
"a cool sponge bath taken every lay
is one of the gest things to do, for heat
is distracted in that way
lone thing particularly I would like
to impress upon people. They should
by no means pay attention to fads Of
dress in the summer time. Following
the ultra fashion plates in the summer
time is a bad thing to do. One should
dress according to temperature. The
men of Kansas ought to dress in white
duck. as the men do in the tropics.
Kansas is a warm weather state and I
don't understand why the men folks

don't take to dressing in the cool
white clothes which are so general in
warm countries and go so far to make
one comfortable"
