Bathing Not Only Way of Keeping Cool

By Uncle Joe Cannon, Illinois Congressman; Eugene Christian, New York Food Specialist, and William Muldoon, Athletic Trainer

Hard Work Will Hake You For* get Heat —CANNON

I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY SAFE AND BANE RECIPE FOR KEEPING COOL. GOOD, CONSISTENT HARD

WORK THAT WILL MAKE YOU FORGET THE HEAT FOR THE TIME IS A SORT OF COUNTER IRRITANT. Cold drinks won’t help, but I don’t hesitate to say that if I were invited to a midsummer dinner that was to be more or less of a function, with rich food and richer conversation, I might indulge in some. Then along with the dinner, if you didn’t want the food to disagree with you, lots of ice and some carbonated water might help.

Cold Unsweetened Drinks Will Keep You Cool -CHRISTIAN

Hcold drink is not NECEBSARILY COOLING. For instance, there is never a GREATER MISTAKE made than that of the person who runs to the soda water fountain and absorbs many ice cream sodas, thinking these cooling. The ice cream is full of sugar, sugar is full of carbon. You feed the system with carbon and heat the blood, so how can one then expect to be cool? If a man or woman wants to drink SOMETHING COOLING, take lemonade without sugar, or use any of the fruit juices without sugar, or drink buttermilk. 3 >

direct cause being from excessive heat. IT SIMPLY SHOWS HOW FEW PEOPLE GIVE PROPER CONSIDERATION TO THE CONDITION OF THEIR BODIES, OF THEIR BODILY HEALTH, TO RESIST THE CONDITIONS IN EMERGENCIES OF THIS KIND.

Our bodies are well able to stand the strain if our minds would only give them PROPER CARE by reducing the amount of work as much as possible without extra demand upon the vitality; laying aside such work as can wait for a few days, cutting down the amount of food to onehalf or less, cutting out ABSOLUTELY anything containing alcohol, cutting down the use' of other narcotics, tobacco, coffee and tea to a very MODERATE amount, taking longer hours for rest, making up your mind to submit GRACEFULLY to the discomforts of the high temperature.

Remember that a cool drink may feel refreshing while you are swallowing it, but that it is only a MOMENTARY SATISFACTION and will probably put the body to a great deal of inconvenience a little later. The very best thing to drink is water, sufficiently cool to taste nice, but not ice cold. In fact, any drink 1 ice cold or as cold as it can be made by putting ice in it is very injurious, more so in hot weather than in cold.

coil SYSTEM IT FAIR

NO TICKETS WILL BE 80LD AT INDIANA EXPOSITION. f • ■ 1 •' -- : Visitors Will Provids Themselves With Coins to Open Turnstiles at the Gates.

The coin system of paying admissions to the Indiana State Fair is to be tried for the first time the week of Sept. 4. It is to be tried to the end of making it more convenient for visitors to get within the gates and avoid the usual crowds which flock about the ticket windows. It is thought that every person in Indiana knows that the admission fee for an adult to the Fair Is fifty cents, and for a boy or girl under twelve years the price is 25 cents. Heretofore it has been the practice for the street cars to unload thousands of people at the Fair gates, followed by a rnsh for the ticket windows.

It is now the purpose of the fair management to do away with this inconvenience to visitors by asking each person to provide himself with the exact change. A man or woman is asked to leave home for the Fair with a fifty cent piece to pay the gate admission, but instead -of buying a ticket at the Fair, the visitor will proceed from the street car to the gate and deposit the coin in the turnstile. These mechanical devices will register, or count, coins as readily as they will receive and count tickets, and the visitor will avoid the rush for tickets.

All of the admission gates around the Fair grounds are provided with turnstiles and the coin system will be tried at all of them. The coin system will be followed at the race track grandstand. Where a visitor arrives at the gates without the exact change, money changers will be on duty to supply them. The coin system will be so generally followed by visitors that the selling of tickets will be entirely done away with, not only for the convenience of visitors, but it will do away with the counting of tickets, which requires all the time of a clerical force while the Fair is in progress.

FIGHTING GARDEN PESTS

ENTOMOLOGIST WILL EXPLAIN HOW AT STATE FAIR. Extensive Exhibit, Use of Sprays, Big Show of Fruit and Grapes Among the Features. The town and country gardener who would successfully fight insect pests and diseases which, if unhindered, make such havoc to trees, vines and bushes, should by all means see the exhibit and demonstrations that Stale Etomologist B. W. Douglass will make at the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 4. Those who saw his educational work in Horticultural hall at the Fair last year turned the information to profitable ends, but at the coming Fair this exhibit will be on still more extensive scale. Both displays and demonstrations will cover every phase of insect and disease fighting with which the grower has to contend. The exhibit will be made up of specimens from the various State experiment orchards and will show trees and bushes which have been attacked both by pests and diseases. Fruit from trees that were and were not sprayed, and the superiority of the sprayed fruit, will be exhibited, and what sprays to use, how to make them, and how to use them, will be included in the demonstrations. Specimen trees from the nurseries and how the grower should prune and plant them will be shown. Specimens of plant and insect diseases, photographs and charts on a variety of garden and orchard subjects will give the grower a comprehensive idea of what must be done if the gardener would be successful.

The etomologist’s exhibit will also show a cage of flying bees and hives of the working insects, and the information that will be available will go far to solving the difficulties which confront the bee keeper. This display will occupy the center of Horticultural hall, and around it in rich array will be long tables laden with the very best apples, peaches, grapes and other fruits from the orchards of Indiana’s most experienced growers. With Mr. Douglass at the Pair will be a number of experts ready to answer all questions, and this feature will have immeasurable educational value to all interested in fruit and garden subjects.

Another Contest For the Boys.

The judging contest for boys at the State Fair last year was so successful, both in number of contestants and in the educational values they obtained, that a similar contest will be held at the coming Fair. It will be again under the direction of Purdue University, with Prof. G. I. Christie in charge. It will be open to any boy in Indiana, from 16 to 19 years old, who has not regularly attended an agricultural college and who has not won a prize in previous judging contests at the Fair. The boys will judge horses, cattle, sheep, swine, com and wheat that is on exhibition, and four scholarships in the Purdue School of Agriculture will be awarded. Boys who enter the contest must send their names to Charles Downing, secretary of the Fair, Indianapolis, before August 19.
