Health Hints for Hot Weather.

Fly screens are useful in keeping out flies, but do not save one from the necessity of killing the flies that are already inside the house. All fruit and vegetables should be very carefully washed, and, better still, peeled if they have had much handling. Take reasonable precautions of this kind and then don’t worry. Many a child has been worried into an illness by an overanxious mother.
