In unmeasured terms, however Mr.,
Wilson condemned the shipowners of the
country for maintaining schedule for

Terry concluded, scathingly. I'm glad

a girl sister support me. Wish you

Lewis considered the matter. He

murdered their faith in the sex.
What started out to say, Margie,
when l went off on this tangent was
most boys dream of falling in love
with an actress. Because a woman
stimulates an emotion in an ideal
manner on the stage they dream in
real life her own emotion would be
correspondlngly ideal. Consequently
many men and most boys invest an
actress with powers Of loving that
are denied to the rest Of her sex. They
do not realize her peculiar power is
that Of acting, not Of Ioving-that
when she loves she will be like every
other woman.

ideals of an acrtess and l know he
had not fallen in love with me, but

Health HINTS

Produce as little heat as possible and
get rid Of what heat you do produce as
QUICKLY as possible. Follow these two
rules and one can keep cool and heal
thy no matter how high the tempera-
ture runs.
One way to avoid producing heat is
to eat as sparingy as possible. BY
chewing what you do eat to as fine
pulp as possible you will be able to
get a greater amount out of little food.
Also you will not want to eat as much
and your stomach will not have to
| work hard to digest it. Eat plenty OF
fresh fruit and green vegetables. They
are uon.heat producing articles. Meats
should be avoided, Fat pork, butter
oils and starchy substances are essen
italy heat producing articles. Fried
foods also should be avoided for they
have tendency to prevent proper elm
ination of the body's waste. When
this occurs the body easily becomes
oyerheated.
In hot weather one should drink
twice as much water as at other sea-
sons of the year. This produces per
SEPARATION which helps to cool the body
when 1t goes through the process OF
evaporation upon the surface Of the
skin
Tho daily bath is especially essen
tial when, the weather is warm. 1t
helps to wash OFF all waste matter Sc
GREETED upon the skin by the sweat
glands. If this coating is allowed to re.
main upon the skin surface it causes
the body to overhead,
Cool off by taking cold bath just
before retiring. 1t will enable one to
drop off to sleep despite the heat. A
good nights sleep is one Of the best
means of preparing for hot day.
Do as much of your work in the
shade as possible, Take the trouble
to walk on tho shady side of the street.
Work hardest during the coolest part
Of the day and ease up when the heat
