During hot weather. therefore,
we should eat plenty of citrus

contain supplies of vitamin G.
There is good evidence that

Workers report good results.
Other important rules for sum-
mer diet are to eat lightly, avoid
heavy. greasy foods. and drink
plenty of liquids. Whether food
and should be cold or hot is large
ly a matter of personal prefer

that stimulate you. and concen-

Goods Marriage Hopes

Results of survey made among
Northwestern university seniors
showed that 30 per cent of the wom-
en- expected to be married within
five years after leaving school, and
two-fifths figured they wouldn't
marry unless their bubbles made
more than $50 week. Two-thirds
of the women thought it's all right
for wives to work, while only half
the men reckoned they approved
of this. To show that times were
good, 60 per cent of the men report
ed they had jobs lined up and 40 per
cent of the women said the same.

Excerpts from his health mes

The skin is our best natural aid

perspiring when the going gets

body only if the perspiration is

Anything we can do to facili-
tate evaporation of perspira,ion
will tend to keep US cooler. Make
it easy for the body to perspire
freely in hot weather.
Wear lightweight. Ioose-ftting
clothes through which the air
can circulate easily.
Gently moving air has a tre-
mendous effect in increasing the
rate of evaporation Of perspira-

But be careful to avoid drafts,
which may cause stiff necks or
colds.
Bathing the body in cool water.
besides having it esthetic value,
is refreshing in hot weather.
There is another reason, be-
