.HOWTOKEEP COOL Many Changes of Garments 1 Plenty of Water Both for Inside and OUTSIDE OF BODY Care in Diet All Help to Contribute to Comfort In the Summer. ■ i i i "My, isn't it hot?" Os course’ you hear Ulis every place you go. every minute of tlie hour ami every hour of the day. But haven't you noticed that some people* seem to get through with a much less degree <>f heat —and they work just as hard as others who seem to he flurried and wilted and weakened by the heat? There is much in the way you take the world and the good old summer time. Dress, diet and daily doings determine to a great extent, the extent or freedom from suffering from heat. "Cleanlinc-ss is next to godliness." we are told. And at no time does Icsinliness help to make more heaven on earth than it does in summer time. Such is the emphatic statement of a Decatur woman. "Be lilteral in the use of water, both inside and outside’ the body and with the garments with which It is clothed. “Keep the body clean. The thousand of pores must lie kept open. The lerspiration literally washes the Issiy *ree of wastes and poisons, besides ooling tlie body in itself. Bathing helps to remove the wastes after they ire brought to the doors of the pores. “Then. too. keep tlie clothing dean. When clothing becomes saturated with perspiration, it can hold no more and the wastes "annot be carried away so freely from the pores. The dothlng nec’ds wasliing to free it from the perspiration and its discharges. "When you finish your work, take a sponge hath, if a tub bath is not Mis.sible. Then put on an entirely fresh change of garments, those laid off at this time the day before, if fresli•y laundered ones may not be had. and B ee how much more comfortably you ■an spend the evening. Another change 'or the night should he taken. "Those worn to work in the day time, should lie left for a thocoiigh air■ng and complete drying from persplrnion. if indeed a freshly laundered uite of clothing cannot be denned ev•ry day. “A big and varied supply of garnenis for the summer time Is a nev■ssity for comfort and health. It is eally an economy to invest in many liunge sos garments for the comfort ind ease afforded tlie IxMly in performing the work it is required to do. "Whether the uaiiy work is perform’d by tlie Isidy alone, or tlie body and 'train, the body's saving is a part of the capital invested. No cost should s' too great to udd io the body's saving and efficiency. "The clothing and laundry bills mav >e big but the health and comfort and iblllty of the body occasioned thereby, ire worth it. "The diet play* a big pari in the ealtli and comfort of one. The dinng room should be made as cool and ■omfortable as possible, and foods, ight and nourishing, and non heat proiuc ing should lie supplied.
