Eat less. The main cause of many summer diseases is the super- wbundance of food which the majority of people eat and the failure to adjust their diet to suit the conditions of the weather and of their occu- pation. The body does not thrive on the amount of food which goes down the throat, but on the quantity ofsnourishment which is assimilated by the digestive organs. More men starve to death through eating too much than from eating too little. A heavy meat diet taxes the energy of the digestive machinery to get rid of what has been unloaded upon it and leaves too little effort remaining for the assimilation of necessary nourishment. During the winter the fuel consumed in keeping the body warm helps to burn up the unnecessary food, but in the summer, when the temperature of the air approaches that of the blood, the surplus food is a dead load, whose burden falls on digestive organs enervated by the heat and not.aided by physical exerci A well-balanced diet, more than abundant*food, provides the neces- sary nourishment. The amount of meat, fat and starch which is needed fn the summer time is really very small. Fruit, green vegetables and | + yplenty of pure water meet the essential needs of existence better than Steak, potatoes and bread and butter. Beans, peas and cheese supply assimilative proteins better than meat. Salad oil with lettuce, tomatoes and like vegetables answers the body’s requirements much better than butter and lard. The saving from a suitable summer diet is both in a lower cost of food and in the freedom from doctor's bills and in the increase in effective Dodily and mental energy. SWEETHEART’S BLACK EYES. When John Dechardt blacked both eyes of his fiancee, Antonia [Laders, she had him arrested, but it is doubtful whether the engagement will be broken and that their married life will not be more happy because Yohn asserted his supremacy in advance. Of course, he should not have blackened his sweetheart’s eyes, but he explained this by reciting the provocation he had, in that she had gone to a picnic without telling him anything about it, and that he did not really hit her, but only imparted *g quiet little poke in one eye and a quiet little poke in the other.” This is not intended to be an argument for men beating either their wives or their sweethearts, but it is suggested that the thousands of divorce cases of which the testimony is on file contain a very small per- centage where the woman has sought a separation or a divorce upon the ground of real genuine physical cruelty. There are many more women whose married lives have been spoiled by their husbands allowing them to do as they pleased until, as in a recent divorce suit, the woman plaintiff's ground was .that her husband had no spirit and always humored her, No woman, or man either, for that matter, is happy if she always has her own way.
