Body comfort has much to do with the statet of mind. Dress in cool, li<hi. loose-fitting clothes. A slightly warm bath is more cooling and beneficial than a perfectly cold one. A dail" bath is a necessity. The summer menu should differ from the one enjoyed in cold weather. Simple, easily digested foods are best. See that there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in the menu. While cold food is more appetizing, a certain amount of warm food is necessary. For instance, soup of j any good canned variety might start a meal in whic hall the other foods are cold. Fresh fruits should be used for dess-mts in place of pies, puddings and rich rakes. In short, here arc three simple rules to follow if you would keep cool and comfortable: 1. Give yourself ample time for

Season with salt, pepper, and margarine or butter, using no milk.

Many Foods Are Under Ban for Younger Child

Even though your child is strong and healthy, and you think, able to digest most anything, if he is under 6 years of age, don't tax his digestion with the more difficult foods.

Breadstuffs —All hot breads or fresh cakes, rich cake, cakes with nuts, griddle cakes and waffles. Cereals All partially cooked cereals. Dry or prepared cereals usually have less nutritive value per bulk than cooked cereals, and therefore should not be used exclusively. Drinks—Tea, coffee, rich cocoa or chocolate, soda water or any “soft drink.” Desserts—Rich preserves or puddings, pies, pastry, salads, except with plain oil dressings, nuts and rich candy, exclude even simple candy except at end of meal. Fruits—All green half ripe, or over-ripe fruits. Serve only small helpings, if any, of fruits with seeds, such as berries.

Care Needed for Kitchen Linoleum

Considered from the standpoints

of v ice and ease in cleaning. probabiy linoleum makes the most satisfactory floor covering for the kitchen. A patterned linoleum is best, as it does not show footprints as plainly as a solid color, and of course an inlaid linoleum is better than a m inted, as with proper care it will last for years. However, there are many instances where a i- -->nsive floor covering is more practical, in which case a eoocj grade of printed linoleum will be found entirely satisfactory. The first important step to consider after the selection of the linoleum is the proper laying. The dealer from whom it is purchased usually is equipped to arrange for this service. If not. he should be able to give you directions for doing so. Many a piece of expensive linoleum has been ruined by improper laying. To make it last long, and give its best service, it should be scrubbed carefully and wiped dry. and while still warm enough from the water to melt and absorb it. a paste wax should be rubbed into it. Rub the wax over the floor evenly, allowing it to absorb what it will. When it ha 1 - dried, polish the floor. After this treatment with the wax, never use strong soaps or washing powders in washing the floor, or you will hthe job of waxing to do all over again. It should not be necessary to mop with soap and water oftener than once a week, and then use a mild soap, and little water in the mop. After mopping, apply a very small quantity of liquid wax. and polish lightly/ If there are any portions of the floor which have required special scrubbing, rub a bit of paste wax onto tnem before the liquid is used. With this treatment, your kitchen floor soon will take on a lustrous surface that will repel dirt, and be cleaned easily with the dry mop. Sugar,Kept Moist Keeping brown sugar moist and free from lumps is one of the problems of the pantry. If it is kept in an iced refrigerator, it will remain granular and lumpless or, perhaps, even t etter still is the suggestion to keep ic in your bread box. If you store it in either of these ways, the packaged sugar will be best, as paper bags are likely to get sticky on the outside. Fruit Shower Whip one cup of cream. Add a dozen soft marshmallows, cut into quarter inch cubes. Let stand six to eight hours in refrigerator. At serving time, add 1 cup of chilled mixed fruit and % cup of nut meats. Serve on sponge or pound cake. Serves four.
