Hot Weather Eating

THERE are two mistakes many of
US make during warm weather; the
first is eating too much or at the
wrong time, and the other is not eat
ing enough.
Sometime ago l quoted DIR. W. G.
Alvarez of the Mayo clinic and it is
worth remembering. ION trips to the
mountains have noticed that the man
who comes into camp hungry from an
exhausting climb and Immediately sits
down to heavy meal, will occasional
ly suffer afterwards for several days
with abdominal pain, gas pressure,
and diarrhoea." This is due to the
fact that the tiredness dried up all the
important ferments that digest the
food and prevent decomposition or
spelling of the food when it is taken
into the body.
Similarly in hot weather. The heat
has tired or exhausted you Temporal
ily,. and when you eat there is no di-
gestion takes place for some time, thus
allowing the formation Of gas with
pain from gas pressure.
The thought then is that instead
of sitting down at once to meal that
you lie down quietly on the right side
for few minutes until you are some
what rested and then eat some food.
Your whole body will be rested and
the digestive organs more able to pour
out their juices, thus enabling you to
digest your food properly instead Of
suffering pain which you naturally
think is due to some bad or tainted"
food you have eaten.
What about not eating enough food
in the hot weather? Should you not
eat less in the hot weather anyway?
AS a matter Of fact you should eat
a little less food in the hot weather,
but really, only very little less.
The reason that you should eat al
most as much food in the hot as in
the cold weather, is because the proc
esses of the body-your muscles, your
heart, your blood, your lungs-all have
about the same amount Of work to do
all seasons of the year. A very small
amount of food is needed extra during
the cold weather to create heat.
In fact, if you are outdoors more,
do more work or take more exercise in
the warm than in the cold weather,
you may quite correctly eat more food
during the warm weather.
Thus we find many individuals,
thinking that all that food does is to
heat the body, eating less than they
actually need during the warm wealth
er.
Remember, then, don't eat when you
are, very hot or tired; rest while
first.
Remember, also, that you need al
most as much food in the warm as
In the cold weather.

That Bod y
Of Yours
Living Safely With Heart
Disease
BY
JAMES W. BARTON, M. ID.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
Y thousands Of men with 'leaking
valves" In the heart fought in the war
without difficulty, and Notwithstanding
that thousands of individuals with
leaking valves live to good age, there
are still great many who worry be-
cause they have this condition.
The leak In the valve has been
caused by some ailment-scarlet fever,
rheumatism or others, which left the
little valve with an 'escalloped" edge
Instead of one that was smooth and
well fitting. Naturally, when the
valve is closed little blood is going
to flow back through these small open
lngs at the edge Of the valve. But, IL
the heart continues to pump enough
blood, despite this little leak, what
difference does it make to all your
tissues?
1t is just like pump that leaks
year in and year out but still supplies
all the water the household needs.
Therefore, physicians do not talk
very much about "leaks" in the heart,
but talk rather about the strength of
the heart muscle and try to measure
its ability to do the necessary work and
how long it is likely to continue to do
this necessary work.
The individual then who has heart
leak can go along in his usual manner
and feel safe as far as his life is con-
cerned.
AS you know, the first sign of fail
ing heart is shortness Of breath, get
ting out of breath doing little tasks
that formerly did not cause this breath
lessness.
Now, what can the individual do
who finds that he is getting breath
less" on slight exertion?
He should first see his doctor, as
this shortness of breath may be due
to an acidosis in the system, or to q
failing heart. If it be due to acidosis,
then less food and more exercise may
be necessary.
If due to failing heart, the ply
stefan will advise as to health habits
in regard to amount of exercise that
may be taken, the necessity of one or.
two rest periods during the day, and
the need of resting the mind as well
as the body.
In other words as the ability of the !
pump (heart) to do work has lessened,
then the individual must simply lessen
the needs of his body for blood by rest
ing more.
In this way he can live safely.

expressed confidence the exchange
will respect the commissions &C.
ton by suspending trading.
He declined to predict the com.

forecast whether it would precipi-

the commissions authority under
it.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 Q.N.S0.
The curb market appeared to be
somewhat tired today, following
it's rather extended advance over
the past week or so, and a gen.
orally easier tone was evidenced
in most sections Of the list. The
announcement of the liberal Fed
eral Reserve margin requirements
appeared to have been discounted
as a stimulating fact.
However, the market was not
without its individual bright spots,
with unusually broad demand for
oil shares, with South American
properties the outstanding feature
of the session. International Pc
troleum reached a new high at
1924, up 20.
Metal shares continued gener-
ally heavy in tone. Wright Har-
greaves dipped "a to 9.
The speciality group was studded
with minus signs, none of which
were serious. Sherwin Williams
dropped q to IS.
Consolidated Gas Of Baltimore
led a moderate downturn in the
utility group, showing a loss of

.LEN|ENTMARG|N
RULES ORDERED.

Federal rule over margins for
stock market speculation was in
stituted by the Federal Reserve
Board last night with a gentle
hand, requirements ranging from
Is to As per cent, but averaging
only % per cent.
This compares with an average
margin of so per cent being main
tanned on thousands of accounts
which were subjected to official
study, although it is higher than
the New York Stock Exchange re-
quirement, averaging Is per cent.
The margin rules affect about
$500 accounts, embracing Sc
curities valued at $3.50 million
dollars, it was estimated. They be-
come effective october Is.
Even the lenient requirements
laid down were imposed with full
force only upon the initial extern
sion of credit by the broker to the
trader in stocks.
Maintenance of margins there
after will be regulated only to the
extent of placing restrictions upon
undermargined accounts so they
cannot be weakened further by
withdrawal from them of cash or
securities.
There will be no Reserve system
action tending to force the selling
out of any undermargined &C
count, a Reserve official empha-
sized.
