A DAILY HINT TO
WORKING GIRLS
Odds and Ends.

The hot weather is on us, and we will
have to suffer-no way out Of 1t. But we
can do a few things to make matters
more bearable, and here are some hints
that may come in handy. Every work
ing girl knows that her health is her
chief capital, and that she cannot afford
to break down. She must be on her Job
no matter where the thermometer
stands
First-Don't wear tight clothing and
wear just as little Of any kind as con-
sorts with a decent appearance
Second-Drink lots of cool water, lem
onade and an occasional glass Of iced
tea or coffee; not a drop Of anything
with alcohol In 1t.
Third-Don't move bit faster than you
have to. Hug the shady side of the
street; get where there is a breeze and
stand still in it during the lunch hour
or as often as you can manage, and in
the evening keep away from dances or
crowded boats or cars, where your nerves
will be tagged by noise and confusion.
Fourth-Eat enough. 1t is a mistake to
starve yourself. But don't eat much
meat, certainly not more than once a
day. and let your lunch be light. Don't
touch anything which you have found
by experience is apt to disagree with you,
for the stomach is especially sensitive
in hot weather. Eat plenty of fruit
preferably stewed. though IL you are
sure IT is neither oyerripe nor under
ripe it will do no harm and lots of good
If you are In good health.
Fffth-Take a sponge bath in cold
water at least twice a day: in the
morning before going to, work Stand
where any breeze there may be can blow
on you, and sponge Q ffslowly. keeping
wet as long as you can conveniently do
so. Then dry off. gently. In the even

home, You will have a better appetite
for dinner and be much refreshed after

very leisurely, each motion you make
