Drink More, Eat Less ON Hot

(By Biddy Bye.)


Drink more and eat less in hot
weather.
That is real economy, war or peace.
Water forms over so per cent Of the
body's weight. The quantity lost by
Precipitation and evaporation on a hot
day must be replaced for health's as
we'll as comforts sake.
Nothing but pure water is required
as a drink, but among all Of mans
many inventions, none Is more uni
versally appreciated than the various
kinds Of cold favored drinks.
The lemon Is the basis of the home
made hot weather drink in any lati-
tude. 1t is said to have refrigerant
qualities when used without sugar.
Sugarless lemonade is thus a genuine
war economy.
Plain Lemonade.
One-half Of a lemon to q glass of
water, sweetened to taste, Is the rule
for plain lemonade. The less sugar,
the more cooling the drink. In Eng

Washington, July 9.-President
Wilson has not been Jared by the
war. In health he never was better.
He is up to date on his mail and ap-
pears less worried than at any time
since he assumed the presidency. He
gets up at s every morning and goes
for a horseback ride with Mrs. Wilson.
They go by motor to the old mill in
Rock Creek park, where the horses
are waiting, and after an hour or two
Of exercise return to the machine and
ride back to the city for a bath and
breakfast. BY $3.50 he is ready for
his mail.
The president has adopted a new
system in handling his personal mail
and much Of his business is now
distinctly personal. He goes to the
office section of the white house only
twice a week; then to attend cabinet
meetings. At other times he does his
work in the old or residence part. He
has set a tier of filing cases behind
his desk and indexes and files every
thing himself.
Perhaps during the wartime
this insures the keeping OF i'm

secret service men have had to add
the equestrian art to that Of riding
motorcycles, driving automobiles and
long distance hiking Inc running.
About three evenings in the week
the president goes Out. One Of these
is sure to find him at the local vaude-
VILE theater, and another at some
other theater where there is a nom
serious attraction. The serious in
dramatics Ices not appeal to Mr.. Will
son. He takes a stock company put
ting on the old favorites, as it has for
a number of years, the president was
sure to be there. He knows all the
stock favorites and has had them as
guests at the white house. Other
evenings when not dragged out to
some official function, he works In
his study writing state department
communications, reports on the pro-
gress of the army organization, the
doings of the navy, c~onfidentially
communicated by the secretary, and
writes state papers to be signed by
Secretary Lansing.
Any reports that Mr.. Wilson is
showing strain or yea under this
life are misleading. He appears
to be growing younger every day
and neve was in better physical
form.

Appointments are made for both
morning and afternoon, but most Of
the personal business occurs in the
afternoon. Interviews It the white
house are followed by frequent trips
to the capitol, and it is unusual
for Mr.. Wilson to run over to the
war department or the federal trade
commissions offices to see some man
on business he wishes to straighten
out at once. His visits to the capitol
have become so frequent they no
longer create surprise.
