To date we've had some sizzling weather and no doubt we’ll have more here in the East and South. Fortu- nately for me. I was in Los Angeles spending my vacation during the hot- test spell in New York. There are days 4n California when the temperature | stept up pretty lively. but. as the hu- | midity is low, there the heat is not so oppressive. The well worn phrase, “It i=n't the heat, it's the humidit: as 8 | good foundation. for a high degree of moisture in the air does prevent the free evaporation of the perspiration and 80 causes more retention of body heat. | ‘Then in California the evenings are al- ‘ways cool, no matter what the daviime ! temperature is. ‘Well. we can't all be in Califérnia B0 I give you some suggestions to help | Tou keep ‘comtortable during the hot m;{I.rlt No. 1.—Discard all clothing that the law will permit. This lrnlfles to ehildren and babies particularly. Hint No. 2.—Overweight, or under- weight, eat less meat and eat more salads and fruit. The high protein foods | have more waste heat to be eliminated | by the body. therefore they make you warmer. Eat less meat, fish, egg whites, and also cut down the rich pastries and fatty and oily foods. Get a large share of your protein in milk in varjous forms. and cheese, preferably cottage cheese. ¥You should always do this, for that matter. Don't eat large meals. If you are thin and get hungry between meals take some fruit or milk. Drink plenti- fuily of wales. Twelve to 15 glasses is | recommended by Tice. Iced water is| Al right with vour meals or between | meals, if you drink it slowly: and n‘ certainly is & hundred times more re- freshing.

It may | such @ shock to your solar plexus that it ay give uncomfortable or worse than uncomfortable resuits. Be Yery moderate with tea and coffee and take no alcoholic drinks. Hint No. 3.—Take a cold bath a dozen times a day, if you can. If you have a weak heart your physician may tell you to be careful of this advice. Any euick shock has to be avoided in such cazes. But you can take cold sponge baths. Hint No. 4 —If you have an electric fan. keep it busy. Air in motion is more cooling.
