WARNS GOLFERS
TO Be CAREFUL
ON HOT DAYS
Exercise and Eat Lightly in
Summer Months, Says
Or. Morgan.

. At last remedy" has been found
for the common summer ailment Of
golf swidowhood"
Wives and sweethearts who regu-
larly are deprived of the compan-
ionship of their men folk on the
plea of needing exercise" have the
word OF Or. Herman g. Morgan,
secretary Of the city board of health
commissioners, that playing golf in a
temperature lowering around 100 is
far less beneficial than sitting on
the front porch or in the shade OF
the old apple tree.
Golf still holds its high place In
Or. Morgans esteem as an ideal
exercise, but Cow pasture pool
like any other activity, must be
taken in moderation to- reap the
greatest benefit, he says.
Summer should be the healthiest
time of the year, and the period IN
which we lay up reserve strength
for the hard work and cold weather
OF winter" states DR.. Morgan. II
we fatigue ourselves unduly by I'M
usual exercise, especially in intense
heat throughout the summer Win
ter, with all its ailments, finos Us
below par in reserve strength.
Little at Time"
Speaking Of intense heat brings
up the question Of exposure to the
sun. II it is your deire to acquire
deep mahogany tan, do it a little at
a time. Not only is sun burn ex-
tremely painful, but a severe case
gives a shock to the nervous system,
prevents acquiring adequate rest at
night and, in fact, makes sick peo-
pie for us for several days.
"On your first several ventures
into the swimming pool at the start
of the season, limit your exposure to
not more than half an hour, and
less If the sun is extremely hot. In
crease the exposure period the next
day, and so on until the skin has
become toughened to the sun rays.
IF your skin is very tender, ar

before entering the water will pro-
tect the skin.
IT'S just a question of modere
ton. Children should be permitted
TO play in clothing which will allow
the sun rays to reach as much Of
the body as possible. After the first
week they can be exposed to the sun
with little danger of suffering from
burn"
Don't Drink Cold Water
On the matter of summer diet,
Dr. Morgan limits his instructions
to the appetite and inclination of
each individual.
The amount Of food and the kind
eaten in hot weather should be
governed by your desires. If you
are hungry, eat moderately of foods
that agree with you. If you don't
feel hungry, then don't overload
your stomach he said.
Many adults blame their diet for
summer. stomach complaints, when
30 per cent of all cases are due to
the stomach becoming chilled,
either by a cold drink or exposure.
If you are very warm and perSpir-
ing, don't load your stomach with
ice cold water or soft drink And
don't go to bed without some cover
ing, no matter how light, across the
abdomen.
This sensitive portion of the
anatomy is very susceptible to chill,
and the pain. nausea and upset
feeling next morning. which many
times is blamed on the diet, is, in
reality, due to sudden cooling"
Stress ChilIs Peril
Prevention of chill is doubly i'm
portant in the case of small chill
dren, asserts Dr. Morgan Infants
and small children do not have the
resistance of old persons, and con-
sequently are apt to suffer more in
summer.
In the diet of the infant and
small child, raw fruits and uncooked
vegetables would be included very
sparingly," advises DR.. Morgan.
Proper milk refrigeration is
essential for bottle fed infants.
"All of the care taken by the board
of health and other sanitary
agencies to preserve the purity of
baby's milk is nullifled if the bottle
is permitted to set on the steps in
the sun for several hours. Even
the comparatively slight heat of
early morning often is enough to
sour the milk"
