o d weal i, andit is necessary prickly heat and mental irritability
that we adapt oiirseives accordingly,
Follow, then, some suggestipns which
—while they could be materially 'en-
larged upon—will suffice to call atten-
tion to the more important features
of our inode of living during this
time of the year.
Diet
In cold weather 'when it is . a case
of "everything going out and nothing
coming in so far as'''liodily, heat is
concerned, we eat Eskimo dessert—
at. But'in the good old summer -time
when we are trying to get rid Of the
surplus heat within us, fats are taboo.
And so all along the line, the summer
dietary is, practically the opposite of
the winter bill of fare.
The wise ones, will cut down on food
during hot weather, and the real wise
ones will do this to the extent of°fif-
ty. per cent. Prudent people will con-
fine •themselves to fruits and vegetab-
les, and eat little meat, pastries, con-
diments, and other stimulating foods.
They will also see tQ it that their
foods are fresh and clean—to which
end ice is an absolute necessity dur-
ing, the heated season.
Smoking
Smoking ' is unquestionably more
harmful in hot than cold weather, and
shows that the -youngster is too heav-
ily clothed.
Exercise
;After months of inactivity
winter, most men take up strenuous
exercise suddenly, doing themselves
real harm. The 'summer active life
should be approached gradually. Vio-
lent exercise of any kind should be
avoidedby people with 'disease of the
heart, liver or kidneys. It is only the
young and rugged, who are in train-
ing- the year round who can stand
two or three sets of tennis or a twel-
ve inning baseball game in the hot
sun. The old boys should confine
themselves to the more leisurely golf,
but don't lose your temper—that is
brad in hot weather. If you don't play
golf, there's njothing left but pitching
horseshoes in the shade of the old ap-
ple tree or bowling.

Drinking.
There iss. a natural desire in hot
weather to fill up on cold drinks. But
taking ice water end cold "soft"
drinks with the idea of cooling off is
a delusion. The so-called "soft" drinks
are harrier on the stomach than 'some
real hard drinks: If you really want
to get cool let some cold water run
over the wrists forfive minutes and
drink a howl of hot soup. Whatever
may be said for or against prohibi-
tion, it is a fact that beep is less
harniftil than ice water, because, its
alcoholic content promotes its rapid,
eliinination and offsets the evil ef-
fects of its low temperature.

Carelessness in keeping your car in good order
increases your lability to accident. It makes your
car a menace on the highway — a "dangerous
character."
You are not safe, and other motorists are not
safe, if you drive with brakes which won't operate
instantly, lights which don't shine, or steering
gear which is not dependable.
Ontario's highways are of ample width. Danger
spots are plainly marked. Curves and grades have
been made safe.
