ALL NEED CHANGE OF DIET

Winter Foods Should Not Be Continued During the Hot Days of the Summer. Change of diet is just as essential to good health, once the warm weather arrives, as a change of clothes. No one would think of dressing in heavy woolens, furs and velvets with the thermometer soaring. Why, then, feed the system during the hot days with the same sort of heavy food which makes up the winter menu?

Too sow housewives realize that the body craves change of diet pnce the warm weather sets in. They go on Serving in May hot soups, steaming meats, heavy desserts, just as though it were the middle of winter and then wonder why their families do not seem to relish their food. - Begin in May to serve summer meals, for warm weather is then here and a change of diet is necessary to good health. Make the first change 1 in the appearance of the table. If you have been in the habit of using cloths use doilies during the summer season, as they give the appearance of coolness and summer comfort. They are, too, a great saving of labor during the warm weather season. It is no idle task to wagh out a big tablecloth once a berry stain mars its pristine beauty, but if a doily becomes soiled how easy it is to take this single piece and dip it into the tub. During the berry and fruit season, when so many spots are apt to appear no matter how careful the diners, this labor-saving scheme should be given consideration. Some housewives go so far as to substitute the paper doilies for the linen ones, throwing them away as they become soiled. These come in so many pretty designs and are so inexpensive that this form of table adornment is both pretty and economical.
