Why overfeed the Body In Hot
Weather7
Change Of diet is just as essential to
good health, once the warm weather
arrives, as a change Of clothes. No one
would think Of dressing in heavy
woolens, furs and velvets with the
thermometer soaring. Why, then, feed
the system during the hot days with
the same sort Of heavy food which
makes up the winter menu?
Too few housewives realize that the
body Graves change Of diet once the
warm weather sets in. They 20 on

meats, heavy desserts. Just as though it
We're the middle of winter, and then
wonder why their families do not seem

for warm weather is here and a change
OF diet Is necessary to good health.
Make the first change in the appear
ance of the table. If you have been in
h habit OF using cloths use dOilies
during the umlmer season, as they
give the appearance of GOODNESS and
summer comfort. They are, too. a
great saving Of labor during the warm
weather season. 1t is no idle task to
wash out Il big tablecloth once a
berry stain mars it's pristine beauty,
but If a dolly becomes soiled how easy
IT is to take this Sinpla niapa and din
1t into the tub. During the berry and
fruit season. when so many spots are
apt to appear. no matter how careful
the diners, this labor saving scheme
should be given consideration.
Some housewives go so far as to sub
stitute the paper doilies for the linen
ones, throwing them away as they be-
come soiled. These come in so many
pretty designs and are so inexpensive
that this form Of table adornment is
both pretty and economical.

now. having got rid of its soluble com
panion while yet retaining the crystal

upward to the top and stays there.

is an optical one. it will not bear the

The Rev. Mercer Green Johnston,

opinion that organized religion was

1t is almost enough to make one
ashamed of the church.

The general complaint during pre-

up as follows:
That our tax rate was outrage.

tates that gross inequalities ex.

and it has also been alleged that
vast amounts of property failed to

an earnest desire to formulate such
