DRINK WATER TO KEEP COOL

DRINK WATER TO KEEP COOL
II one wishes to keep cool during
| the warm weather. 1t is necessary to
drink large quantities Of water. or to
use foods containing water abundant.
ly. Water is the necessary medium
with which the skin can regulate the
| temperature Of the body. The skin
! acts as a sort of ~thermostat, keeping
| the body at about q temperature Of
93.6 degrees whether on q warm sum-
mcr's day, or q cold winters night.
On q hot day the millions OF pores
Of the skin are constantly busy throw
ing off fine particles Of moisture and
in this way lowering the tempera-
ture and eliminating waste products.
Even the warmest day should not feel
to keep cool by regulating the diet,
water drinking. and clothes. Avoid
the rich. fatty foods. Keep the
starches down to the minimum. Es.
chew sweets. Wear light clothes. But
be especially sure to eat large guam
titles of the juicy fruits and the fresh
vegetables, and drink plenty OF wa
ter.
It is better to do most of the water
drinking between meals when the
stomach is empty SO as not to over
distend the stomach by the combined
food and water. At any time one
should drink water when thirsty, but
during the warm weather it is some
times q good plan to drink even q lit
tie more than desired. From about
nine. o'clock to eleven o'clock in the
morning it is wise to take from about
one to two quarts of cool water. Cool
water is more agreeable to the taste
and seems to refresh, but I would not
advise the use Of ice cold drinks to
any extent. In the afternoon between
three and five o'clock 1t Is advisable
to take another quart Of water, al
lowing not less than an hour to
elapse before dinner. II this amount
of water is used during the day you
will not desire to drink much at
meals OF during the evening. The
water taken in the morning does the
most good, and it can be absorbed
before and used during the warm Pc
Rod of the day.
Only the purest water obtainable
should be used. and if any doubt ex-
lists as to the purity of the water it
is always q good plan to use dis
titled water, which is entirely free
from minerals or bacterial micro
organisms.
Not only is it advisable to use more
drinking water, but it is also a good
plan to $ water externally to keep
the skin clean and the mouths of the
pores open so as to encourage q
greater elimination of perspiration.
Every man, woman and child should
take at least two shower baths daily,
and during the hot day 1t IS very re-
freshing to take q cold shower In
the middle of the day. You do not

COLUMBUS LEAVES SPAIN

COLUMBUS LEAVES SPAIN
On August 3, 1892, Christopher CO.
lumbus sailed from Palos, Spain. on
his memorable voyage with the three
tiny veSsels-the Santa Maria, the
Pinta and the Nina.
Provisioned for a year and with
80 mariners aboard. the fleet proceed
ed to the Canary Islands, where the
rig Of the Pinta va altered. Re-
pairs were completed and the ex-
petition left the Canary Islands Sep
tember 6.
From the parallel Of about 80 de-
grecs N. nearly to the equator there
is a zone Of perpetual winds-namely.
the northeast trade winds-always
moving In the same direction, 50 that
the ships Of Columbus were steadily
carried to their destination by q law
of nature.
Day after day passed and the crew
became mutinous. but on October IL,
about 10 p. m, Columbus saw . light.
At 2 the next morning, land was dis
tinctly seen. The island, called by
Columbus San Salvador, has now been
ascertained to be Waiting Island. one
of the Bahamas.
After discovering several smaller
islands, the fleet came in sight OF
Cuba October ~. Crossing the chan
mel between Cuba and Haiti, they an
chored in the harbor Of st. Nicholas
Mole December 4. The Santa Maria
was wrecked shortly after and it was
necessary to leave q small colony on
the island when Columbus began the
return voyage on January 3. 1893.

There cannot be too many ~treatises on the art OF buy-

RACIAL INFANCY CROPS UP AGAI,

The superstit.ons that were born during the races in
fancy die hard.
Jus, as We had nicely forgotten the Pennsylvania hex
murder, another one pops up-,his time in Kalamazoo,
Mich.
The bare outline o. the story is Amos. unbelievable,
for this year 1929.
A middle aged married couple are the culprits. Quite
calmly, as il he we're telling some tale which any rca-
sonable man ought to understand, the man explained
how it was that he and his wife had killed a 7s-year-old
widow who lived in a home for aged people.
1T had to be done he said. she could kill anyone
with a look. She could give you any kind Of disease with
her evil eye. Why, she has killed more than a hundred
people"
Michigan ranks as one Of our most forward" states.
Kalamazoo is widely known as a cultured honey city.
It Is not filled with immigrants, nor docs it have wretched
slums and gloomy tenement ncighborhoods. It is pre-
cisely the sort Of place you would name il you were asked
to pick out a town that could represent the middle sized
American city at its best.
Yet, In q town like this, there are. apparently. people
whose minds are no more enlightened than the minds Of
superstitious peasants in the middle ages; people who
believe in the evil eye, in spells and lamentations, in
ghostly and sinister powers that Turk in the air ready to
bring death and destruction to honest folk.
That, OF course, means that there are such people in
all our cities and towns. No place OF any size is free from
them. Dcmonisn and sorcery are not yet subjects solely
for the antiquarian.
And all OF this exists side by side with advances in
technical and scientific knowledge that sometimes per-
suade us that the race is almost ready to move on to the
great heritage which all its gifted dreamcrs have FORE
seen!
Our development is too uneven. We are moving with
amazing speed, On the surface; but underneath we hardly
seem to be moving at all. Somehow We must find a way
to equalize things-or we shall stumble into a dreadful
mess.
The mass Of people has always been supcrstitious and
blind, but it has never particularly mattered before. But
TINS modern age demands modern minds. How can a
man VINO believes IN witchcraft and sorcery make his way
among wireless telephony, X-ray cameras and tclcvision
cabinets? He simply can't handle himself. It is like let.
ting a child play with matches in a powder mill.
a democracy needs a high standard Of universal educa-
ton to function we'll. A mechanical democracy, like ours.
needs it ten times as much. The mere existence OF ig-
norant superstition means that a deep abyss is gaping be.
meath our entire social structure.

The instinct Of self-defense explains why more people

please tell me the name Of the rosin
and wax preparation for removing
superfluous hair, and where It can be
procured?"
Answer: There are many such prep.
arations on the market, and I am
sure any druggist can supply you. My
policy Is not to recommend any par
ticular advertised remedy In this COL
uMn."
tuberculosis
Question: 1T. b." writes: II have
heard that in Russia they take the
liver and lungs OF a young calf and
seal them up and boil them for
"a hours. This is then used in treat
ing tuberculosis patients. Do you
think this treatment is useful or
harmful"
Answer: There can be no special
advantage in taking the food you
have written about. A tubercular pa
tient needs to be dieted very carefully.
but the main object of the diet should
be to supply calcium deficiency and
provide the best tissue building ele-
ments.
Gastric Ulcer
Question: G. II. writes: Il have a
gastric ulcer. and do not seem able to
take the milk diet. Do you have a
diet which excludes milk and which
would be suitable for me? Also keep
up my weight, which is already below
normal?"
Answer: A liquid is necessary to
permit q gastric ulcer to heal. Solid
food tears the healing surface of the
scar and prevents q cure. The milk
diet has proved to be the most salts
factory. but if you have an idiosyn-
Grassy against milk, it might be neces-
sary to substitute non-starchy vege-
table broths made without meat, or
you could use the orange juice fast II
the orange does not burn your stom-
ach. OF course. you win lose weight
until the ulcer is healed, and for this
reason it would be better for you to
take q vacation from your work, es.

MECHANIZING THE FARMS

The way in which the engine is replacing the horse on
American farms is ~strikinsiy illustrated by figures issued
b. 3he department Of commerce.
Itl9l8 American farmers owned more horses than
ever b~efore-more than q. 500. 900. BY 1923, however. this
total had shrunk to 1851 .ooo-a decline far too great to
be explained simply on the basis OF the agricultural de-
preston.
In the same time the use Of tractors increased amaz-
ingly. In 1920 there we're only 22s. 332 tractors in use in
the American farm belt. Last year this figure had risen
to 76l ,745-and it's still going up.
This is a significant. trend. Increasing mechaniza,:on
may yet do much to lif, the farmer back to his old Do
sition Of economic independence.
