Wednesday, August /, 1917.

The most important help in keeping
cool is to keep ones temper smooth
and unrufIled. The goodnatured.
smiling. happy dispositioned person
does not suffer from the heat as does
a person who is cranky, ill-tempered
and peevish. Second in Importance
is to eat moderately of non-heating
food. Fruit, cereals, salads, sand
wiches, bread and milk and ice
cream are better hot weather diet
than hearty food such as is desir-
able in cold weather. Also drink not
to excess, particularly of ice water or
drinks that contain much sweet or
much alcohol Temperance in eating
drinking and temper are the greatest
hot weather helps.

A Tribute Of Respect to the Memory Of

and the ships bell was tolled Marshal
Iolfrc was particularly touched by this
ceremonial. and as the yacht passed
on up the river he walked TO the stern
and stood silently watching the old
mansion until it was hidden from view.
What the newspapers did not tell us
and what many Americans do not
know is that The ceremony that so i'm
pressed our distinguished visitors has
been for great many years prescribe
ed by the naval regulations. No Unit
cd States ship Of war may pass Mount
Vernon without paying that tribute Of
respect 10 the memory of Washington.
As the vessel approaches the beauu-
ful old place the commander orders
the bugler to Sound TO quarters"
The crew, officers and men hurry TO
their places, the word passes to form
along the side of the ship that faces
Mount Vernon and to stand at atten-
ton. AS the ship comes abreast of
the mansion the command "Salutew

which the echo faithfully repeats them
