Hot Weather Don'ts

A MONG the hot weather don'ts that
annually appear IN papers all over
the country the one that appeals most
to housekeepers Is. Newer serve heavy
meals In summer" Poor thing-she's
ready to give up the serving" of
meals. light or heavy. at this stage Of
the game. an the difficult part Of the
wa m weather catering is that most OF
the very rourishing foods are heating
to the blood and most OF the cooler
foods are not rourishing.
The first thing to consider in the
making of a menu at all seasons is
balance. The housewife should try to
arrange the light meals for the hot
days and to welcome an occasional
cool spell to serve the nutritive foods
that are so essential to the preserva-
ton OF strength.
Red meat should be used as little az
possible In hot weather. At meal
where 1t La served the rest OF the menu
should be light such as a simple vege-
table and an iced dessert.
On the other hand. when meat is not
ment in other forms should be pro-
thing and nutritive. Fish. cold or hot.
a salad and an ice make good selec-
ton for dinner
Don't play tennis or take long walks
II you are feeling tired and done up"
These feelings are natures warning
tfat you need a rest, and II you iy In
the face of such a warning you are
Sound to suffer for 1t latter.

GRAPE JUICE sHERBET.

IN some warm days, when nothing
but a frozen dessert appeals to tho
fancy. fruit is strangely lacking. Per-
haps the berries have rnildewed be-
cause Of rain or dried up because OF
heat or perhaps the robins have eaten
the cherries or the railway companies
have for some reason been remiss
about shipping fruit from the grower
to the consumer. For such a day moth
ing could be more refreshing than

Gross earnings Of United States

week in December of all roads making
weekly returns to Dun's Review

Of 6 per Cent as compared with the
corresponding period a year ago. In
addition, similar comparison with
the same week in 1911 reveals de-
crease Of "a per cent, which il the
most Indifferent showing. as compared
with that year, in a long time.
The contraction in railroad earnings
which has occurred during the past
month is indicated by the smallest
gains on the roads which have regu-
larly shown increases. Thus. Louisville
and Nashville reports a gain Of $24,-
against $72.555 for the opening week
of the previous month. Southern.
$23.975. against $3O.345; and Chesa-
peake and Ohio,> $45.697, against
$1O2,S03. On the other hand. the
losses on a number Of roads show
more or less expansion. notably. Chi
cago Great Western. which reports
falling off OF $1z.631. against $7.308;
Colorado and Southern, $99.641,
international Great Northern, $4,000,
against $4,000: Missouri. Kansas and
Texas. $163.O88. against $72.O68, and
Minneapolis. st. Paul and Sault Ste.

Only very few roads make gains.
while on Missouri Pacific and some
other systems there are sharp de-
