is to let him take his own time
about it. I've known children
spend a whole summer just looking
at the water and getting used to
the idea
But did those children ever
venture in by themselves asked
Mrs Johnson. "Oh. yes" l said
"even a timid child. if he's let
alone. will usually end by follow
ing the example of the other chill
dren. He sees them splashing about
and having a grand time-and by
and by he joins them. But if he's
frightened at the start he is liable
to hate and fear the water all his
life" "And so miss half the fun OF
summer time" remarked Mr. John

him.

walk facing the line of traffic in

Motorists must remember not to
stop too suddenly and always to

that they are to slow down or stop.
Many of the most serious accidents
occur when a motor car stops too
suddenly.
Finally, statistics show that more
serious accidents occur to drivers
who are fatigued. Drivers fall
asleep at the wheel or else drive
for so long time that they be-

circumstance their judgments as to
distance and pace are disturbed.
One-fifth of all accidents are due
to sudden inattention on the part

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

The discriminating choice of
foods during the summer months
has direct bearing on the way one
''feels the heat" Careful eating will
go far toward keeping one cool and
comfortable.
The heat and humidity as well
as the tendency toward physical
inactivity make the energy re-
quirements of the body less than
during cold weather, so the caloric
consumption of the winter months
should be reduced.
Remember that the stomach is
as sensitive to the heat of sum-
mer as any part of the human or
ganism. Consequently, overlooking
or overtaxing, 1t in any way may
cause much unnecessary unpleas-
antness.
Cut Down On Heat Producers.
A balanced diet must be main
tanned, using the minimum of fat
and carbohydrate possible to pre-
serve the correct proportions. Pro-
tein always is necessarw to take
care of the wear and ear of the
body, but since proteins tend to
increase energy production in the
system, it's advisable to eat only
as much protein food as Is actual
ly needed.
1t is wise to avoid certain types
of food during excessive heat
Rich sauces and gravies, fried
foods, rich cakes and desserts, hot
breads and sweets of all kinds have
a decided heating effect on the
body. All fats are heat producers
and some are difficult to digest as
well.
Eat plenty of fruits and vegeta-
bles, use meat or it's substitute not
oftener than once day and drink
milk and water in abundance

CHILDREN

Stomachs Are "Tricky" in the
Summer
In summer there is likely to be
more stomach trouble among chill
dren than in winter.
Mothers are inclined to attribute
this to the heat, and in way hot
weather is indeed responsible. But
not as directly as may be imagin-
ed. However heat is indirectly
responsible because it brings in its
trail many things that are not sc
likely to happen in cooler weather
One is the natural desire for
ice-water. Cold water and ice
water are different things. Also
there is a tremendous difference
between drinking either of them
slowly and gulping TIM down.
Pure water may be kept in COW

is cold enough for children.
Gulping Is Dangerous

to drink anyway. A moderate

LAST CALLS:

If you haven't put away your
winter clothes, this is positively the
last call! Moths are just around
looking for "Putter-offers.' Have
your things cleaned before you
pack them away. Moths prefer
them soiled so clean things are
safer. You can get moth proofed
bags, cedar boxes that shut tight
and moth balls that now come
scented. Furs are much safer

1t is advisable that those who
are exposed to sunlight be shelter

which is blown by the wind. Such
dusts often contain bacteria. pol

Auto accidents constitute a major
cause of summer hazards. Drivers
are told again and again to keep
their brakes, steering gear and
lights in perfect condition. to
change tires after they have run
