Moderation Is Keynote
For The Hot DAYS Ahead

Moderation should be the key
note for the inevitable hots days
that still lie ahead" says DR.. R.
H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health.
Regular sleep, balanced meals,
light weight clothing and cooling
baths are in order for those who
must continue their daily routine
during the summer. Unnecessary
exertion in the heat of the sun
should be avoided, diets should
be watched, fruit juices. milk,
fruits and salads are suggested.
Salt tablets are often recon-
mended to offset loss of salt
through excessive perspiration. If
sunstroke or heat exhaustion
should occur a physician should
be called Immediately. Severe sun
burn should be avoided as care
fully as any other burn. Do not
try to acquire a deep tan in a day
or a week. Exposure to the direct
rays of the sun should be limited
to 10 and 20 minutes at first and
increased gradually.
For healthful summer living .
take it easy"

 BREAKS DOWN INDIA C0NFAB
SeIf-Rule Hopes Dealt Se- were Blow by Negoiid-
 lions Failure

SIMLA, India, May 13.-The Bri- tish Cabinet Mission. admitting failure of an eight-day conference with Moslem and Hindu leaders on independence for India, made it plain today that 1t still had hopes of solving the Indian problem.
 The conference ended in com plete breakdown yesterday, thus dealing a severe blow to the hopes of those who had expected quick transition from British control to Indian self government.
 Two communiques issued after the breakdown--one jointly by the Cabinet Mission, the Moslem League and the Congress Party; the other by the Cabinet Mission alone--gave no reason for collapse of the negotiations.
 It seemed apparent, however. that the conference had floundered on demands of the Moslem League for an independent Moslem state (Dakistan). These demands have been bitterly opposed by the Con- gress Party, which favors an India unified at least insofar as foreign affairs, defense and communica- tions are concerned.
