Summer Hygiene.

Summer is the season OF health and
of recuperation for those who know
how TO regain their mode OF living IN
accordance with the special conditions OF
hot weather; but to those who still try
TO live as they do in winter it is a sea
son of discomfort, If not of real danger
TO health and life.
In winter the loss of heat from the
body is rapid and continuous, and we
seek, by means of food and exercise, TO
stimulate heat production, and by means
OF heavy clothing to limit heat radiation
from the body. In summer we should do
just the opposite, the object then being
10 reduce the activity OF the vital pro-
cesses within the body, and SO to lessen
the production of heat.
There is no greater mistake than to
seek to whet the appetite in hot wealth
er by savory and highly seasoned dishes,
or by cocktails and other appetizers be-
fore eating. The desire for food is nat
urally blunted at that season, and this
indication, like most of natures prompt
ings, should be needed. Meat especial
~ fat meat, should be taken in small
quantities, the diet consisting mainly oil
fruit and green vegetables.
Thirst is greatly heightened in conse
quence of the increased perspiration, and
it should be gratified by frequent, but
not copious draughts OF cool water. See
to it, however, that the water is pure
water, not contaminated with sewage or
the drainage of barns and cattle pens.
1t is the fashion to decry ice water -
and to drink it, Ice-cold water is not
necessary to queneh thirst, but it is cool
ing and grateful, and if taken in sips,
and never more than third OF glass
at time, it is not injurious. THE wat
er should be cooled by putting the yes
sci containing it on ice, never by putting |
Jumps of ice in the water.)
The same commentator and caution !
apply to ice cream little of it, eaten |
slowly, is nutritious and healthful; a
heaping plateful, gulped down rapidly,
will offend the stomach.
A word concerning underclothng may
be timely. There is a controversy al
ways going on for and against wooden
undergarments. The writer personally
prefers wool in both summer and winter,
and when of extremely light weight, has
found it decidedly the most comfortable
wear even in tropical climates; but the
question, after all. is not so much one of {
material as of texture. The important 6
point is that cloth for undergarments
should be loosely woven; then it may
be of wool, cotton, linen or silk as the {
wearer prefers Youths Companion. !
