American Medical association. how
ever, has very properly issued a
warning against some of the widely
advertised tonic summer drinks "
These may contain habit forming
drugs particularly harmful to child
rem. 1t may be assumed as a fact
that "~bracers' aren' really tonic f"
Whatever we may think of alcohol,
coffee, tea and other stimulants for
adults, they are not good for child
rem. Physicians testify that they
are discovering youngsters who
have acquired a dependence upon
caffeine containing soft drinks"
Overripe fruit and vegetables are
dangerous. Milk allowed to become
warm is an ideal food and breeding
place for germs. For that reason
1t is not good for humans.
Now is the time for strangers to
begin taking cold baths. Start in
with lukewarm water and gradually
increase the amount of cold from
day to day, as enjoymen t grows. A
cold bath on a hot night, when
sleep is difficult, has been found to
have a delightfully."- soothing and
sleep inducing effect.
Eliminate the overload of un-
necessar, clothing. It's a positive
source of danger to health. Women
have adopted clothing suitable to
u summer temperatures. Men
may overcome convention, ultimate
} ly. Children and infants are likely
to be dressed too warmly. Don't
let them swelter. When they be-
come fretful with the heat, sponge
their skins with cool water. Let
them have an occasional cool drink.
Swat, starve and screen against
the typhoid fly. Clean up the breed
ing places of mosquitoes and flies.
And-keep smiling!
