HOT WEATHER COMFORT.

Scientists have taken up the task of
solving, in practical way, most of
the problems OF everyday life. Heat
is one of our everyday summer occur
rences-we have far too much of it,
in most regions, to suit most of us.
And of late years scientists have been
turning their attention to the means
jrMxereby we may lessen our discom-
fort and suffering from heat.
To begin with, we are cautioned not
to eat too much. Just now overeating
is blamed for so many ills of the flesh,
and of the spirit, too, that there is
some danger that we may eat too lit
tie. That danger is slight, however,
according to these same scientists.

The first session opened at noon and
following the devotional exercises and
the reports of the secretary and treas

CeyIon was read and letters were read
concerning the Usshers and Reynolds
at Van, and mention was made of the

At the afternoon session a short
time was devoted to books and litera-
ture which had been found helpful con-
corning missionary work and a report
was given of an outdoor missionary
meeting which was held this summer
at Atlantic Beach. A list of recent
changes among missionaries was read,
after which the missionary address
was given by Miss Isabel Blake OF

During a short time devoted to the
