Shun Meat and Don't Fret
To Keep Cool ~

Here are a few simple rules for
keeping cool.
The Public Health Service, through
Assistant Surgeon General William
c. Rucker, gives out a few general
hints that any one may follow to
successfully avoid suffering from
heat.
The right sort of food, the proper
clothing and exercise, and the right
temperament or attitude toward the
excessive heat are the essentials
to be observed in making life bear
able during the summer months.
Don't overeat," says General
Rucker. "A furnace is not stocked in
summer the way it is in winter.
Neither should the stomach be over
loaded. Partake sparingly of meats.
Eat largely of fresh vegetables and
fruits. Observe these things in eat
ing and no harm can come to your
digestive apparatus.
Avoid alcoholic drinks. Alcohol
never made any one cooler. Be spar
ring in the use of ice water. 1t is
far better to drink ice cooled water
than to drink ice water. BY this is
meant that water should be put in
bottles and cooled on the ice.
The imbibing of large quantities
of ice cold fluid may produce serious
gastric disturbances. Drink plenty
of water. but not too cold, and have
no ice in it," continued DR.. Rucker.
In the matter of wearing apparel,
DR.. Rucker advocates loose clothes.
of a light color and weight. 1t Is
significant" says DR.. Rucker, that
women are much more sensible
about clothes than are men. The
modern styles for women are not
only beautiful, but in every way
hygenic.
"Light-colored clothes, loosely
worn, keep off the suns rays and
allow the skin to naturally perform
Its functions" -
DIR. Rucker declares there Is no
necessity Of changing the general
habits OF life because OF the change
of the season. Moderation In habits
is the general caution for hot
weather with as little deviation for
the general course of life as Is neces-
sary.
prolonged exercise in the middle
of the day or in the sun is to be
avoided" declares DR.. Rucker. Take
just enough exercise to keep physi-
cally fit. In the summer afternoons
you can keep more comfortable
chasing around a tennis court or get
ting any regular exercise than you
can sitting on porch imbioing in
juleps.

German captain. He failed to produce
the document, at first explaining that
ii was lost, but later declaring the
Mexicans at Puerto Mexico took 1t

the federals to Cordoba
The cargoes Of the YpiPanga and the
Bavaria were said to be the largest

and removed them to Cordova-
The Bavaria came directly from
Hamburg and discharged her cargo be-
for etouching at this port The Ypir-
terials while acting as refugee ship
under charter by the German govern
ment. The arms and ammunition
turned over to Huerta by the Ypiranga
were the same that precipitated the
American seizure of Vera Cruz on
April q.
The arms were those stolen from
Huerta by his agent In Europe and
recovered in Odessa through the good
offices of the Gar. The Ypiranga was
about to discharge them at Vera Cruz.
Rear Admiral Fletcher could prevent
the landing of the cargo only through
marines and bluejackets and seized
the customs house. Since that time
the Ypiranga retained the munitions.
1t was unofficially reported here,
without confirmation, that the German
ships landed the Huerta ammunition
