that all should go and get armfuls

The suggestion was acted upon. A

DRINK MUCH IN HOT WEATHER
Plentiful Supply Of Cool Water 10 I'm.
peratlve to Maintain Normal
State Of Health.

In hot weather you notice that you
are constantly thirsty. Often you feel
that you simply can't get enough to
drink. You needn't worry about the
feeling. 1t merely means that the ma,
chine of your body is working nor
mally.
This mechanism is driven by q heat
engine. The food you eat has heat
value just the same as coal. Its com.
bustion keeps the heat of the body day
and night at about SO 2-5 degrees.
Temperatures in the neighborhood OF
100 degrees put something of strain
on the mechanism regulating the heat
Of the body, for then the body must
be cooled below the temperature of
the surrounding air. This is done by
the sweating process. Evaporation
keeps the temperature down.
1t can be worked out as q problem
In physics that the food eaten in q
day by workman with an average
appetite would produce enough heat to
evaporate about six quarts Of water at
the temperature of the body. An Eng.
lish medical officer stationed In India,
where the temperature for months at
. time does not fall below 100, reports
that daily consumption of about SIX
quarts of water was required for q
person taking q considerable amount
Of exercise.
It Is necessary to drink plenty of
water to supply the body with enough
material for evaporation to keep cool.
: Incidentally It may be noted that
hot weather, even in India. isn't neces.
sarily healthful. This same medical
officer. Dr.. e. H. Hunt, who is connect.
ed with the railway service. reports
he has never come across case of
sunstroke in person known to be
healthy. II man were slightly Ill,
however, then the heat might make
trouble IL he over-exerted himself.
