HOW TO KEEP COOL
ADVICE GIVEN OUT
BYCHEM|STRY HEAD
DR.. Doolittle Says Be Mod
crate in Everything Ex-
cept in Sleeping.

A hot weather schedule was laid down
today by DR.. r. e. Doolittle, acting
chief of the Bureau OF Chemistry and
successor to DIR. Pure Food" Wiley.
Here is how DIR. Doolittle says to keep
cool and well: -
above all things don't worry; don't
think how hot II is. Don't look at the
thermometer every two minutes. Just
try to forget the weather and you'l be
surprised to find how much less you
feel II.
Alcoholic drinks. beer, gin or any
thing like it, should be avoided. A lit
tie ice water, l find, is not harmful;
also lemonade and soda fountain bev-
erages. The acids and soda In the latter
are really beneficial TO ward off heat.
Possibly one tiny drink, the kind
that tinkles in the glass, taken In the
evening. Is all right
"Once a day is often enough TO eat
meat in hot weather-never two or
three times. Be sure. too. that any fish
or sea foods are absolutely fresh. They
and stale milk cause typhoid. Ice
cream, too, Is not harmful
Moderation in all things, eating and
working, Is imperative. Take a vaca-
tion sure. II you can't, be sure your
wife does; she probably needs II more
than you do. Every man, though,
ought to take vacation. Vacations are
good investments for any business Arm
to give their employees. Also loaf, sleep
and take II as easy as you can all the
time. Don't over exert.
II wear as light underwear as pos
sible.
But above all, stay away from ther-
mometers and forget the weather" DR..
Doolittle concluded.
