How to Stand the Hot Weather
BY DR.. r. r. Daniels

ny III. n. N OAuseU
Our food has much to with our ability
to stand the summer heat. In hot
weather the body really requires but
little heavy food, such as meat, pota-
toes. breads, cereals, fats and sweets.
Any excess of these foods eaten over
the relative small daily requirement is
disposed of in the body by burning.
This increases the body's heat to such
an extent as to make the outside heat
often uncomfortable. During hot wealth
er moderately hearty meal morning
and evening and light lunch at noon
will furnish ample food. Meat once in
two days or once daily each two days
out of three is sfficient.
OF course large amount of water is
needed to supply the body with perspir-
alton in hot weather; it is the evapora-
tion of the perspiration that keeps the
body cooled off to the normal temper
ature. A light lunch at noon makes it
possible to drink and to absorb into the
system during the hottest part of the
day, Tar more water than though the
stomach is filled with food. When we
drink copiously during hearty meal or
for the first few hours after it, not only
is the water absorbed into the system
very slowly but the digestion is decided
ly interfered with. Many of the sum-
mer diarrheas are caused in this way.
So during the hot weather we should
drink considerable water between the
meals. Any good water will do, but it
should not be iced.
In order that we may perspire freely,
the skin should be kept active by a
daily sponge bath in tepid water, fol-
lowed by thorough rubbing of the en-
tire body with dry towel. We need
plenty of sleep and some recreation.
Over-work and too little rest rapidly

What People Say:

Harold Currie says that he can't put
his brogands up on the table any more
now since his wife uses those between
meal doilies.
Mrs. Jones says that she'd have to
talk even if she knew everything she
said would get into the News.
Two of our town young people say
that the eclipse Of the moon last Friday
made perfect evening for pleasure
driving.

deplete our heat resisting powers.
Every day in summer the body should
be clothed as lightly as possible; the
thinnest of cotton or linen underwear
used. Clothing which is light in color
as we'll IS weight reflects the suns rays

hot water out of the boiler. The little
girl was just tall enough to reach the
boiler by standing on tip-toe; but the

water, scalding the whole side Of her
