easily digested food in moderate
amounts. Fats should be avoided
and lesser amounts of meat and
eggs than usual should be con-
sumed.
Contrary to general belief,
plunging the body into cold water
is not the way to get comfortable
on warm day. Slightly warm
water is much more refreshing and
does not subject the body to ex-
cessive change of temperature. No
harm results when very cold water
is applied to the wrists, but i'm
mersing the head or neck in cold
water should be avoided.
Hot weather demands a cool
head and the necessity for keeping
calm. Avoid excessive physical
exercise as a means of forgetting
the heat, but keep busy at light
tasks which are not likely to cause
fatigue.

MAKE THE BEST
OF WEATHER
State Board of Health Tells
How To Be Comfortable
During Hot Season
EAT LIGHT FOODS

Everyone is unhappy about the
weather, except, perhaps, the per-
sons who operate our seashore re-
sorts. Many of us would like to
move further north, especially for
the summer months, but for vari-
GUS and sundry reasons, this cam
not be done.
Why not make the best of the
weather here? We have excessive
heat to be sure, and the humidity
is something we don't care to dis
cuss, but other sections of the
country have their trying seasons,
too.
So far as health is concerned
there is a question of which type
of air is most beneficial. 1t is the
general opinion at present that
warm, dry air is less pleasant than
an air containing moderate
amount of moisture, since it dries
the lining of the nose and throat
and increases susceptibility to
colds and hay fever. The salts
factory range of relative humidity
is considered to be between 80 and
20 percent.
On occasion, Delaware humidity
far exceeds the desired range and
personal discomfort is increased
due to the inability of the body to
throw off moisture in the form of
perspiration. while excessive per-
spring lowers the salt content of
the body, small amount should be
encouraged. This may be accom-
plished by wearing such clothing
as will absorb perspiration not
readily absorbed by the moist air.
According to DIR. Floyd I. Hud-
son, Executive Secretary of the
State Board of Health, the amount
of heat in the body may be reduced
to some extent by eating only light,

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS?
DESPERATE MOTHER?
(Fron Mrs. w. P. S.,
FnIlS Chnrch.l

On Saturday, December 3, sew
eral readers wrote in explaining
how to make Christmas orna-
ment. Ingredients: A bowl full
of water with appropriate decora-
tions glued or weighted on the
bottom, moth flakes, l teaspoon
citric acid. l teaspoon of baking
soda. Mix them all together and
you are supposed to have a
Christmas scene with snow twirl-
ing about. I did all this. The
moth flakes foated to the top OF
the water and stayed there. What
did do wrong?
Now for a question that will
stump the experts. What do you
do to entertain children, a
boy, 3, and a girl, 2, who are
confined to the house from Sep
tember until June? Our children
have colds from 9 to II months
out of every year so far. I usually
have them, too. Unfortunately I
feel i'll and irritable, while they
are possessed with boundless
energy. Only a millionaire could
afford enough new toys to keep
them entertained. They have al
ready devastated everything they
could possibly destroy in the way
of toys, furniture and household
goods, and the only things that
seem to amuse them at this point
are such pastimes as toasting
their dear hands in the gas
flames, trying to climb out second
story windows, jumping in the
washing machine or any other
body of water they can find,
drinking chlorax and swinging on
the chandeliers. Things have
reached a state where I am con-
templating having Santa bring us
three strait-jackets for Christmas.
Can any one suggest anything
short of that method to bring a
little peace of mind to a dis
traught mother?

tions with gratitude.

Yarn and warp for a loom may be

a pamphlet Of instructions for
warping, in a simple manner. I
feel personally that If one can

is a small volume published by

about $1.50. Both Of these books

attention is captured through the
use of material at his own level.
The tunes that a child OF this
age group hears are bound to be
among his first musical expert
ence. How it is presented to him
is doubly important.
Children, being individuals,
react in different ways, and even
after many hearings Of the rec
ords the child may not respond
exactly as his parents feel he
should. Whether or not he points
to his eyes or claps his hands at
the proper point in the record is
unimportant, the records makers
believe. The important thing is
his love of the song, and his par
ticipation in it. Pressure on q
child to make him respond will
probably diminish rather than in
crease his interest in the music.
The most fun is had by the
baby when the parents join in the
songs activity. Encouraging chill
