High Tide of Summer

There is something wonder
fully rich in the face Of Ma
ture as summer draws toward
its close, says one of our ex-
changes. '"The fields have
labored and brought forth to
their utmost. Great waving
areas Of grain smile and
gleam in the sun. Heaps Of
colorful vegetables and fruits
appear in the orchards and
the gardens, and create pic
lures more glowing than
those, produced by any artist.
Flowers Of every shade
blossom in the home lots and
the fields. The trees are
heavy with refreshing shade.
There has been given one
more demonstration of the
enormous resources of our
world.
There is abundance here
for all. Only man in his ig-
norance and his wastefulness
and his selfishness, fails to
make due use Of all this rich
ness, SO that many people are
still poor and struggling and
suffering"

best of condition. 1t was not
much Of a temptation to driv-
ers who could use some other
route as conveniently. From
time to time it was improved,
yet it did not adequately meet
the need. The new road does
serve the purpose. 1t is a

Perspiration Regulates
Body's Heat Production

There is no human life without
perspiration because it is a basic
factor of the normal physical life,
DR.. James o. Nall declares in an
article "Perspiration-The Thermo-
stat of the Body" in Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
1t is absolutely essential to the
proper regulation of heat in the
body. Normally this eliminated wa
ter cools the body as it evaporates
from the skin surface. The tenn
perature of the sweat at the mo-
ment it appears at the body sur
face is slightly lower than the tenn
perature of the blood. This is a
natural decrease in temperature
that takes place during the short
time required for the sweat to trav-
erse the sweat gland tube TO the
skin surface.
As the perspiration reaches the
surface its temperature changes to
that of the surrounding atmosphere
which under most conditions is low
er than the body temperature. An
increase in the surrounding temper
ature normally stimulates an in
creased production of sweat. This
is a compensatory response by
the body and is necessary in the
maintenance Of its temperature at
the average normal figure.
Normal sweat helps to keep the
skin moist, soft and pliable. It is
aided in this by sebun. the nat
ural oil produced by the sebaceous
glands Of the skin and constantly
secreted on to the body surface.
The sweat also serves definite
excretory purpose, but the primary
function of perspiration is the heat
regulation Of the body.
Perspiration may be classified as
normal, excessive, fetid, colored
and cold. Excessive sweating is
common in extremely nervous per-
sons. It may be concerned with
the state of mind and often is based
on fear. Some persons have ex-
cessive sweating of the palms when
meeting strangers. Free generalized
sweating may also occur if there IS
too much salt in the food, for this
may cause a natural cycle Of ex-
cessive drinking Of water and ex-
cessive sweating. 1t is not detri-
mental to good health unless It ex-
tends to the point Of weakening the
body.
