SUMMER TIME ILLS.
(Stratford Beacon )
A prominent physician gives the fol-
lowing roles for defeating the ills of the
Jiuzntner time:
1 -Mahe your
aible.
2. -Wear only the lightest clothing,
and as few gartnents as the law at -
lows.
3. ---Take a oold bath every morning
and a tepid oue every afternoon.
4, -Eat sparingly, principally fresh
vegetables, shunning .all fats and starchy
foods, avoiding the deadly fruit -salad
and taking no fruit which has not been
either washed or peeled immediately
before served.
5, -Drink no spirituous liquors.
6. -Sleep, when it is possible at mid-
day; alwaye stay abed eight hours every
night and alwaye sleep under a mosque -
to -netting,
7. -Mase your vaoation absolutely
different from your daily life.
Chief among the ills from heat that
are less direct but more fregaently fatal,
he declares, are diseases of the lower eii•
mentary canal, Two general oanees are,
roughly assignable -cold and bacteria.
The sudden, or too early donning of
light underolothing, the failure to dress
a000rding to the unexpected occnrrenoe
of one of the changes in temperature
produced by those comparatively cold
days whioh are characteristic of our nu -
settled climate; the rash manner in
whioh so many of no leap from a tennis
court or the golf links into an open trol-
ley oar or a speeding automobile --all of
these things pay their reepeotive tolls
to death. Nevertheless, the evil of a
hot weather cold is a minor one compar-
ed to its sister ills. The fact is -and it
is a faot Seldom realized -that almost
all the July and August diseases are due
to baoteria, and quite ninety-five per
cent. of the diseases have their origin in
the eating of contaminated fruit.
The foregoing are apparently good
general rules, but like regulations for
diet they may be modified to snit
partioular cases because a hard and
fast rale can be no more laid down in
other matters than for eating. For
instance, it is not absolutely necessary
for every person to stay eight hours in
bed every night, particularly those ad-
vanoed in years, for it seems to be a law
proven by long experience that old
people, as a rale, do notregnire as mach
sleep as young people, This is a matter
which each person oan regulate beet for
himself by a study of his own needs.
The sodden change from heat to cold
is one most certainly to be avoided.
How many people after a walk, which
has heated the body, thoughtlessly sit
down on the grass, the temperature of
the earth being colder than that of the
atmosphere. Thus an old rule whioh
should be well known, namely, to cool
after exercise in the same temperatare
as that in which the exercise is taken
is violated at the risk of taking a cold
or perhaps worse. Moderation in all
things even benefio#all in themselves
may be taken as a sate general rule,
and it a person cannot keep cool he
should keep as cool as he can. In this
regard the resort to toed Cold drinks is a
delusion. As a matter of feat whon an
ice cold drink is taken into the stomach
the effort to restore the normal tempera-
ture ptoduoes heat in the rest of the
body very shortly after the ice cold
drink is taken. A reader of The Bea•
con states that by actual experience he
bas found that it requires leas water to
the demands of thirst if hot water is
drunk two or three times a day instead
of drinking cold water on every occaeton
when the necessity for is drink is felt.

DAIRY EDUCATION.
The educational features in connec-
tion with the Dairy department of the
Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto,
promises to be of nnuenat interest this

3/Er Geo. A. Putman, director of dairy

NOTES AND COMMENTS
Succession duties received by the
Ontario Government for the month of
July amounted to $76,319 35, The total
to the present date is $497,305 81 for the
ten months ending with Ootober. The
estimatee for this period were only
$400,000, Of the amount received, one
of the largest oheoks was for $19,000
from the estate of the late John A.
Richardson of Fronteneo.
The customs receipts of the Dominion
for July indicate a continued rapid
growth in imports and a return to the
record conditions of 1907 with regard to
trade and revenue. For the month just
ended the receipts from the metre= to-
talled 84,913,156, an increase of $1,180,-
279 over July of last year, and within
half a million of the record figure set in
July, 1907. For the first quarter of the
fiscal year the customs revenue has been
$18,003,143, an increase of $3,544,408
Indications paint to a total increase in
the Dominion revenue of from ten to
twelve millions during the current fis-
cal year.
The Hon. John Dryden, Provincial
Minister of Agrioulture from 1890 to
1905, died at his residence, 9 Prince
Arthur avenue, Monday evening,
after an illness extending nearly fifteen
months. He was 69 years of age.
His demise was not expected by the
family and relatives, who in their
bereavement will have the sympathy of
the many hundreds who knew Mr. Dry-
den personally, and the thousands who
had general knowledge Of his untiring
and zealous effort, for the advancement
of Agriculture in the Province, a matter
which he always bad so closely at heart.
This feeling will be shared by many who
during his lifetime wore opposed to Mr.
Dryden politically, for to know "John
Dryden" was to like him,
Is it not time that we cease to deal
with the criminal as if by his offence
he had earned special consideration at
our hands? Why should we blubber
over him, noddle him, and feed him
on the loilypops of life, while we turn
the cold shoulder upon that rugged
honesty whioh toils and endures rather
than quit the narrow path? Why
should we not make "imprisonment at
hard Iabor" something in keeping with
the term? Why should the criminal
not be made to leave the prison with
such a dread and horror of it -with
such a realization of what prison hard
labor means -that he would be ready
to eaorinee and suffer much rather
than to return to ways of crime and
a new term behind the bare?-Hamil•

Toronto, Aug. 3. -Business at the
Western Oattie Market today was only
fair, prices averaging about form with
the close last week. The dealers say
the Iow prices at Montreal yesterday
prevented any great ran to -day, and
they look for better business early in
the week, The total ran to -day was
about fifty loads.
The warm weather also has its ef-
fects on cattle business, the farmers
appreciating the feat that meat is not
so much in demand in the hot season.
They prefer to keep their cattle in pas -
