the "nibbling" habit is bad, and that such
extras as popcorn, candy, ETC., are food,
and should be so regarded.
Cold Foods Less Taxing Than Hot.
While iced tea and soft drinks" are
common, yet perhaps they are not utilized
as wisely as possible. In the first place,
Il is never wise to drink very cold drinks.
especially when the body Is heated, as fire.
qrently the results are dangerous. Sec
I. the habit of "swilling" drinks at any
and all hours of the day Is also bad, par
ticularly IL the drinks are gulped down
rapidly. A sudden chill to the delicate
stomach nerves is most unwise. Yet the
cool drink has its place. We are Just be-
ginning to appreciate the value of grape
juice, loganberry juice, pineapple and
apple Juice. etc. Such true food-drinks are
safer and more wholesome than pop" and
all the doubtful tribe Of pink lemonade"
so variously offered.
To sum up, the worker in hot weather
should avoid fats and sugars and all heat
ing foods; choose those that are cooling
and prefer cold foods to hot, and utilize
the fruit drinks as we'll as vegetables and
fruits to the fullest. II he would. keep COOL

TXCESSIVE heat lowers bodily resist
ance. That is why, in these clos
ing dog-days of Summer the appe-
tite often wanes and nothing tastes good"
No time Of the year is more likely to result
In depression, faint feeling or actual i'll
ness, together with fatigue, and the man
or woman in business is the keenest suf-
ferer, because often It is Just in This heated
period that he must stay in the office or
shop or remain in the steaming city.
But eating the wise selection of food
during this weather will have much to do
with standing the strain well. For our
body is an engine. and it needs different
grades of fuel for different periods of the
year, and Summer is the time to avoid
stocking up" The foods that create most
heat in the body should be avoided, and
those that keep it cool used freely.
Avoid Sugar, Fats and Excessive starches.
Now is just the season to carry out the
Governments conservation policies! Sugar,
fats and meat heat the blood. Indeed,
sugar is so soluble in the blood that its
effects are noted within an hour after eat
ing. Eating generously of candy, cake or
any sweet dessert will give that "heavy.
tired feeling" because the sugar is Great
ing energy which the weather and the lax
condition of the body cannot work off,
Similarly, fats of all kinds. especially
gravies and animal fats which take long
to digest, and which are more of tax on
the system than foods quickly digested,
should be avoided. Foods fried in fat are
exceptionally taxing. as then the fat has
affected and enclosed the fibres of the food
and must be dissolved by the digestive
juices before the food itself can be, and
this also is an extra effort. Starches in
excess are inclined to create constipation.
and for this reason, too, should not be
taken too heavily.
Keep Elimination Active.
In hot weather the body tries by every
means to keep its own temperature low;
that is why we perspire so freely, in order
that this insensible evaporation will keep
the body cool. Now the more perfectly
the body eliminates, the cooler it will be.
If we eat foods that clog the system, that
make for constipation, then we are only
encouraging our human sewage systems to
back up and create headaches and poi
sons, But if we keep the elimination nor

daily, then We are sure to keep the body

ward. Now draw the arms backward as
far as possible, bending the elbows and
holding the arms as close to the body as
you can. You may not know It. but one
OF your shoulders may hang a little loweI
than the other; that will work much harm
to a depressed lung. For this reason
insist that you lift up and throw back
your shoulders during all your morning
exercises, and as often during the day as
the thought occurs to you.
Get some dumb-bells or a pair of fat.

. series OF exercises with these are wonder
ful to tone up the body. II your abdomen
is beginning to sag, then the SLOW regular
bending exercises are best. Stand with
the arms raised above the head and the
palms forward. Keep the elbows straight.
With slow, sweeping motion bend for

the floor in front Of you. Oh, yes, you can.
Not at first, perhaps. but with practice you
can even touch your knuckles to the floor
And you must not bend your knees-not
even the slightest bit.
When you have mastered this exercise
by practice, thrust the hands clasped at
the fnger-points as far back between the
knees as you can. In this way a semi
circle is described at one sweeping mo-
tion, and the abdominal muscles are
strengthened at the same time, and all the
internal organs are stimulated into re-
newed action.
For inactive. heavy back muscles the
rotary trunk motion Is best. Bend the
body forward at the waist line and swing
the upper part of the body slowly around.

the trunk slowly to the right as far as It
will go and then to the left as far as pos

But, on the whole, there is no form of
exercise so generally tonic to the system.

not take the place of the morning exer-
cises. but should supplement them. If

TXPERTS in beauty now agree that
- the real charm of a woman depends
upon the innate grace and ease Of
her movements rather than upon her
beauty. The latter may be due solely to
an accident Of birth, while the former may
be acquired.
A woman may have irregular features,
a colorless skin and hair that is not in the
least remarkable; yet X she has a good
straight figure and can walk or sit with
an easy gracefulness, nothing can be quite
so attractive. I have but little patience
with q woman who goes off and mopes
about her looks when nature has endowed
her with a perfectly formed figure and an
Intelligence that can direct her how to
make the most Of her appearance.
And the real secret Of this is so simple
that 1t is difficult for the majority of wo-
men to realize 1t. Deep breathing, fresh
air and exercise are the magic sesame
that viii open the door to health and
beauty. Deep breathing is in itself a
superb tonic. and certain exercises will aid
greatly In forming that habit. One of
these is to stand loosely clad before an
open window. Expand the lungs BY throw

tips Of the fingers upon the shoulder blades

things In the world to have healthy lungs.
You must learn to sit erect, stand erect
and walk erect at all times. Fresh air you
must have, Of course-plenty Of It. But

Remember that the best way to beautify

too cold.
Practical Hot Weather Meals.
We have said to avoid meats, gravies,
sweets and fats. Yet it is possible to find
sufficient foods without using these for
hidden groups. First, the wonderful vege-
table kingdom comes to our aid. No other
country or season has such fruit and vege-
table profusion as this moment offers.
Second, we have milk, buttermilk, the
soured milk drinks and cheese dishes.
Third, the eggs, fish and cereals. Even
the worker away from home can find good
choices in these groups. For instance,
here are some selected meals from mex
pensive cafe menu cards:
Baked Beans. Vegetable Salad.
Glass of Milk. Rice Pudding.
Cream Cheese Sandwich.
Ear of Corn.
Buttermilk. Peaches or Prunes.
Deviled Eggs Cold.
Sliced Tomato and Cucumber.
Chocolate Cornstarch. Iced Tea
f.
Salmon Salad.
Corn Pudding. Stuffed Tomato.
Custard or Squash Pie.

Potato Salad
Cottage Cheese and Rye Bread.
Sliced Watermelon.
g.
Peanut Butter Sandwich.
Succotash. Baked Potato.
Buttermilk. Peaches.
The Food-Drink Meal.
At other times it may be so hot that one
does not even feel like eating solids at all
Here is where the "food-drink meal" offers
its services. For example, a glass Of
matted milk with egg or ice cream beaten
in, a chocolate egg milk or buttermilk
gives a large quantity of nutTiment with
out any tax on digestion. Indeed, two
glasses of fresh buttermilk and a couple
of crackers will supply as much nutriment
as a half-pound of steak. All milk drinks
should be slipped slowly, not be taken ice
cold but chilled. Zoolack or other fer
mented drinks also give food in the most
digestible form. 1t is much wiser, in the
