The that heat and moisture upset US so much
than the chemical qualities of the air the fact
that the human body is really water-cooled motor
exactly like automobile engine.
Inside of fuel is constantly being burned up ex,
ploded, and the gases of these explosions are "ex-
hausted" through the lungs Heat also is created in
side US and must be gotten rid of would heat
up and stick like engine run dry.
The gas engine has a waterjacket surrounding the
cylinder When the water absorbs the heat from the
cylinder and carries it to the front of the car runs
through the radiator which is merely device to give
the water chance to be cooled by close contact with
air From the radiator it returns to the cylinder jacket
The blood acts as a water-cooling system. Every
organ is surrounded by jacket and penetrated
by blood vessels. The blood is continually making
round trips the heated interior of the body to the
skin, where gives off the heat to the air the
rounding air is cool the system works easily. If the
air is the pores assist by giving out moisture.
This moisture by evaporating soceleraes the cooling
process. If the air is both hot and moist cooling
process at difficulties. The air too hot
absorb the bloods heat and moist to permit of
cooling by evaporation. Therefore, the sweat drops
collect the heart pumps desperately the veins stand
out and distress is evident
Even in this situation moving the air rapidly by an
electric fan or otherwise relieves the discomfort.
Not only does the body need current of air against
the skin to keep COOL but it needs it as stimulant to
all the activities of the body The human race like
all creatures has had its main stimulus from outside
and the human engine runs better for an occasional
dash of rain in the face or enduring plunge in cold
water meeting a biting wind
1t is the circulation of air you get in the country

COFFEE WITHOUT CREAM Does You the LEAST HARM

THE latest investigation of the character of coffee
and its effect upon the human system suggests
more than modification of existing ideas 1t
has been proved that the chief akaoidal element in
coffee is the caffeine and that this poison directly
upon the nerves, under certain conditions But the
saner physicians suggest that if coffee be taken
strong, and only adjunct food the deeterous
effect is minimized almost If quite the vanishing
point The large amount of water taken in the form of
coffee is necessary to the system and aids in the gen
eral economy The danger in taking coffee alone is
that its effect is increased tremendously while if food
is taken at the time the nerves are not so apt
to be attacked.
1t has also been proved that when milk and sugar
put into the coffee certain chemical changes take place
causing the mixture to become highly indigestibe The
omission of the milk makes a great difference in the
dgestibity, has been proved by the welEesabshed
custom of the French who take black coffee after their
meals
The flavor of the coffee is not due to the caffeine at
ALL but to its essential oil known as caffeone. This
is produced in the process OF roasting and this
count the coffee properly roasted too little
too much roasted tastes altogether different

It is not generally known that what we call the cot

1t is generally agreed that coffee first grew wild in
Abyssnia thence being taken to Arabia and aterward
to all parts of the civilized world in which it would
grow. There twenty-five different kinds of
coffee found in different parts of Africa still growing
wild in many sections.
The name is supposed to be derived from the Arabic

Asparagus is best during June. After the
first week in July it should not be pulled or
cut especially during the following six or
eight hot weeks. In September some of the
tender stalks may be gathered and served,
when it is as good as in Spring or early
Summer, but the September gathering is

Canned asparagus will act as a tonic on
the kidneys, but is not as good as the fresh
