ministry, which has been in power in
Austria since January Is, 1926. today
resigned as a result Of the demands
Of the civil service employees for an
increase In salaries. Former Chancel-
lor seipelpby will form new min
istry.

mands which the civil service en-
ployes had made for increases were
SO large that he found himself unable

Food and Weather

almost any person Of normal mind is quick to
appreciate the value OF dressing for comfort the
temperature rises but not every one is wise enough
to change his habits Of eating to conform to the
principles OF health established By medical science
after much study and investigation.
In the summer months it is the part of good sense
TO ignore the injunction Of the federal agri-
cultural department to "eat more meat in order to
help the stock raisers, and it will be found that
persons who are moderate in the use of meat, prac
tically eliminating it from the ration in summer,
will find it easier to maintain condition Of health
Any other articles of food which found to
overwork the vital organs bring distress in any
way should be readily discovered by the adult, even
without the advice of physician, and such foods
may be abandoned to the advantage of better health
Foods which are promptly assimiated in the winter
months become harmful in the summer.
Nobody likes to have the charge applied to him
self IF course, but it will probably be found that
excuses in eating at the foundation Of more
physical ills than almost any other cause. The dan
gers from over-eating multiplied in the days be-
tween juno 20 and September 90.
The butcher and the grocer may find their bust
ness somewhat reduced by an extensive practice
Of moderation in eating, but after all the
ton of life and health is about the most important
business in which anyone may engage.
