GOOD ADVICE ABOUT
YOUR SUMMER HEALTH
What to do to be at Your Best Dur
ing Hot Weather.
By DR.. r. R. Daniels.

The summer is by no means an un-
healthful season. During hot wealth,
er with a little care as to the food,
bathing and fresh air practically ev-
eryone can have good health.
A Winter Diet i'm Summer.
The food We eat during hot wealth
er. more than everything else, is re-
sponsible for summer health or sick
ness. 1t is fact that the body uses
up during the summer just one-third
Of the heavy food-meat, bread, po-
tatoes and such foods-as during the
winter. For this reason If we are 60
ing to be we'll in hot weather we mu It
eat sparingly of all heavy foods. Eat
ing too much heavy food in hot
weather leaves considerable unused
food to ferment and decompose in the
stomach and bowels; this keeps up a
constant irritation of the stomach
and bowels and is the principal cause
for our stomach and bowel disorders.
Furthermore, the constant poisoning
of the systew from too much heavy
food overworks the kidneys and liver
causes that tired. all-gone feeling,
lowers the desease-resisting power
and gets the body ready for summer
and fall diseases.
Summer Foods.
Our summer diet should consist of
limited amount of the heavy foods,
such as meats, breads, potatoes and
cereals, and an abundance of fresh
vegetables, both cooked and raw.
Milk, buttermilk and icec ream, also
fruits and melons, are all excellent
foods for summer lunches.
Drink Plenty of Water.
We should drink an abundance of
water during the summer, but We
Should not drink ice water, neither
should we drink directly after a meal,
nor in any amount while digestion is
going on, for the reason that con-
stantly adding fluid to the digesting
food delays digestion.
Bathe Often.
A daily sponge bath in hot weather
adds much to both health and COM
fort. When so much of the impuri-
ties is being carried out of the body
through the skin. daily bath is al
most a necessity. Frequent bathing
keeps the skin in condition to per-
spire easily and thus helps us to
stand the heat"

paid by German political and COM

A recovery by Germany TO this ex.

has practically ended. China, however.
has played no part, herself, in freeing
her soil from a European power. The
work has been done for her by an An

China will benefit in the result is not
demonstrable proposition at present.

Germany has organized fifty schools for

mostly by Christian missionaries. One
Of the serious problems facing a Budd-
