This phenomenon is caused by
the fact that in hot weather the
body loses a great amount of
salt in perspiration. If the water

the salt, the water-salt balance
of the body is upset, resulting in
cramps and dizzy spells and
sometimes death.
Replaced Old Cooler
Last summer, during the peak
of the hot spell in st. Louis, an
office manager decided he would
do his employees a favor by in
stalling a refrigerated water
fountain to take the place of the
old cooler. The first day the
fountain was in operation two
girls tainted from unknown
causes and two men went home
with severe cramps and head
aches.
That night the manager talked

the matter over with his brother,
a physician. The next morning
he raised the temperature of the
water fountain to that of the
old cooler, and also added a salt
tablet dispenser beside the foun-
tain. There were no further
complaints of illness from his
employees.
