HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER.

Many of the old ideas about eating
in hot weather have been exploded by
the principles of modern hygiene 1t is
no longer considered uuhealthful 10
drink ice-water provided the ice from
which it is made is pure, nor is the
practice of drinking with meals CON
demned. Hot weather health hints run
about as follows nowadays, according
to a writer in The Independent:
Keep COOL take plenty of cold water
-ice-water, unless there is some per-
sonal idiosyerasy against it; take cold
food rs far as IT is paIatable; do not
hesitate to take ices and ice-cream at
the end of meal, for the reaction
produced by the application of cold
makes digestion better; take your
coffee cold at the end of dinner in the
shape of etfervescent coffee if YOU
care for it that way; wear cool cloth
ing and get plenty Of cool air as far
as it is possible; do not fear drafts -
on board steamers at sea people are
subject to drafts for days and never
suffer from it-take plenty of cold
water on the outside as well as on the
inside and be sure that as rule any
thing that you care for and that makes
you more comfortable is good for you.
The one exception to this is cold
stimulants, the reaction after which
is always unfavorable and the ultimate
result distinctly uncomfortable.
Finally, keep cool mentally. Those
who live in tropical climates know
how to take things easy during the
hottest portion of the day. Above all
avoid excitement and worry at this
time. Learn to do some of your worI
in the early morning hours and in the
evening and avoid strenuous menta
effort in the middle of the day wher
it is very hot. Keeping cool mental,
is quite as important as keeping coo
physically. 1t is somewhat hard t,
learn the lesson, but it is well wortl
learning.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

To keep paper in place in drawers
use the little paper stickers or labels,
half on the paper and half on the
drawer.
When making face or wash cloths
cut them in circles instead of square,
then there will be no annoying cor
ners to bother one
For a mother travelling with small
baby a large market basket with its
pillow will make a fine bed which can
be easily picked up without disturbing
his royal highness. The basket viii
carry other belongings besides the
pillow, when not in use
Many attractive patterns for patch
work quits have been taken from pat
terms of oil cloth and linoleum.
When person who is i'll has to
take disagreeable medicine have the
patient hold a piece of ice in the
mouth a moment before, the ice chills
and dulls the sense Of taste.
For a person too weak to hold a
magazine or book use stories cut and
mounted on paper or sewed together
in a convenient form to handle. One

Always dampen the sweeper brush

which viii fly from il. Carpets and
rugs are improved by this treatment
without wear of muscle or carpet.
Keep a list of things 70 do in the
kitchen for homework and on your
desk for the social and various other
duties which one is so apt to neglect
Have a small steel horseshoe shaped
nail put into the heel where the wear
so quickly makes the heel uncomfort
able and see how well it keeps the
heel from wearing. If one is annoyed
with shoe that slips at the heel paste
a small piece of yelveteen in eacl
heel at each side.
Aprons of unbleached cotton cloti
are the most desirable work aprons

Gov Rollins of New Hampshire little
dreamed of the inspiration he has
given our New England towns in his
inception of the Old Home week idea.
Once set going these old home week or
old home day anniversaries have stead
lily grown from year to year, they are
counted as one of the institutions of
the towns. The Waterbury American
touches charmingly on this theme when
it says: ''Old acquaintance are re
newed, and hosts and guests alike are
happy in extending and partaking of
the bountiful hospitality for which
New England is so justly famous. These
Old Home days and weeks, with their
various events, are growing more and
more popular, especially in the country
towns, and are good thing for all
concerned. They will aid the rural
communities in coming to their own
again, as the automobile and the trolley
make them again accessible, and will
preserve the spirit of affection and
respect for the homes of the ances-
tors of the present generation which
has been in danger of dying out in this
country during its period of rapid
change and growth.

Historic Scenes to be Enacted, Begin

The pageant of Old Deerfeld to bc
given on the evenings Of Aug. i5 aud
is ana the afternoons Of Aug. rs and
10 viii embrace episodes from the his
tory Of this remarkable old town from
t he time when it was called Pocomtuck
and was the gathering place Of Indian
tribes to the present day
The pageant viii be participated in
by many descendants OF the first set
tiers and the rchearsals which are be-
ing held daily on the grounds are most
interesting in that the atmosphere Of
Colonial DAYS seems to have returned in
in full force to the old frontier town.
Young and old people are walking the
street in the costumes Of 200 years ago.
Indians are skulking through the
meadows on their way to make the at
tack on the Stockwell Fort over exact
" the route the Indians took during
King Philip 5 war.
The audience seated on the bank
facing the pageant green will look Iii
rectly up at the Fort Hill, the old In
dian lookout. Perhaps there is no New
England village whose surroundings
have changed as little as those Of Deer
field village in the past 200 years. The
great sloping field where the pageant
episodes will be enacted IS iust as il
was when the carts Of wheat drawn by
the slowly moving oxen wound Their
way across it before the battle Of
Bloody Brook. The pageant has beer
arranged and is directed by Margarct
MacLaren Eager, who directed thC
Brattleboro pageant last year.
