Don't think of the heat. . • Don t dring ice-cold beve-ages ~ Keep busy at some useful occupa- . • t*>n . I Dont ran after street cars. • I Don’t eat too much . j These brief counsels are Dr. Har- ,' vey W. Wiley's prescription for keeping cool. H« gave them in ready response to a call for aid last night when a fevered reporter gasped, with . 1 parched lips and dry throat, In an effort to inform Dr. Wiley how the g -- eral public was suffering But they are real typical of the ' Wiley philosoptf'-, the Wiley creed, and the Wiley doctrine Dr. Wiley I himself employs the prescription, it is said, on good authority, and everbody | around him relates that the doctor I does not mind the dog days. Not many persons seemed to I ; iiowiy.g the Wiley way yesterday j ;.nd iaat flight. however. The favorite salnation was. "Is it hot enottgo for you?" and the m. • ! noptrlar reply to that provocation tc i homicide was a comparison which might be criticised as especially :na; : i on a Sabbath day. Mental treatments and moral sut sior.s were futile so far as the vast j and vociferous majority of mankind 1 were concerned. It was in vain to tell j them that it was hotter in Philade! j phia or New York, or that if thev j would forget the heat 'hey would not j feel it. The Wiley way is a simple home • treatment, according to its author. A ■ child can administer it. he says. o- .
