WHY YOU ARE HOT. In hot weather when people should give most attention to their diet and the care of their bodies they seem to be most neglectful and reckless of consequences. In winter they dress warmly and eat heartily of strong foods to supply the needed fuel for the body, but in summer take few precautions to keep the body cool and refreshed from the effects of the heat. It is as simple a matter to keep as comparatively comfortable in summer as in winter, but the means employed are exactly opposite. Winter calls for heavy clothing and a heavy diet. Summer demands light clothing and a light diet. Yet with many people, while the clothing may be changed the diet remains the same. They think they must eat the same food winter and summer, if they give the matter any thought. The greatest sin against summer comfort in the matter of food Is meat eating. Meat is a doubtful necessity at any time and known to be harmful If eaten in large quantities In summer. A vegetable diet is equally sustaining and nourishing, without the heating qualities of fresh meats, but whatever one eats care should be taken to see that it is in good condition. Meats spoil quickly in hot weather and vegetables and fruits are likely to have bad spots in them. In placo of meats vegetable soup, made from meat stock, should be used, particularly at the noon meal. Many will throw up their hands at the suggestion of hot soups, but it is because they are not acquainted with the toning effect of a hot soup. It satisfies hunger, it nourishes the body and after the immediate heat following the eating of it the body feels refreshed and cooled. The stomach is the important thing at any time, and particularly in summer. Hot soups help to keep it in tone and to counteract the effects of the quantities of cold and otherwise harmful liquids poured into it. Alcoholic drinks of any kind increase the heat of the body and decrease its power of resistance. Iced drinks of any kind tend to unsettle the stomach, and overeating should be carefully avoided. The city water is South Bend is cold enough to be refreshing and is as cold as should be taken into the stomach. Within the bounds of reason one cannot drink too much of it. It provides the needed moisture for the body and acts as a laxative. There need be no fear of overloading the kidneys with South bend's artesian water. The pores will take care of most of it. Hot nights those who are not so fortunate as to have sleeping porches find their bedrooms uncomfortable. This can be obviated to a considerable degree by sponging the body with cold water before retiring and not drying it or merely mopping off the surplus. It cools the skin and enables sleep where otherwise one would pass a restless and uncomfortable night. Many simple expedients of this kind may be resorted to for relief from heat, and that is all that can be done. The hot weather is here to stay until it runs its course. To complain and become obsessed with it only aggravates the distress. In fact to a large degree the people and not the weather are responsible for their suffering. These are some of the things they do: Eat strong foods. Drink alcoholic beverages. Drink iced liquids. Dress uncomfortably. Leave their houses open during the day. Neglect to bathe frequently. Unnecessarily expose themselves. Sit around and swelter and complain when they would be more comfortable and contented if reasonably busy. Frequent the hot business district at night when they might be comfortable at home or in the parks. rush around catching cars in purluit of amusement. This is not all, but it is enough or one dose. Think it over. THE OPPORTIMTY AND THE .MAN The suggestion, expressed by The News-Times, but obviously a product of events, that Fred Miller shy hi motor cap into the mayoralty ring should afford the opportunity he presumably desires to put in practice the peculiar ideas he has long entertaired as to the manner in which South Bend should be run. The time seems to be opportune for Mr. Miller to come from behind the barricade from which he has been throwing insidious but non-explosive bombs and cast himself into the fray, He must realize by this time that his efforts to obtain what he wants through others are fruitless and that if he is to save South Bend from its Impending fate he must act personally. At this time what Mr. Miller most needs is vindication. Always there with

plans of procedure and rules of conduct he has never succeeded in obtaining from perverted public sentiment the indorsement he doubtless feels h merits. And perhaps it i3 because he had stuck too closely to the tripod of the Tribune. Lei him come out in the open now when opportunity offers, forget his innate modesty and boldly declare himself the champion of the people. We pause to smile at the piospect presented. We witness the ascension of the triumvirate, which could stand almost anything but that. We

see the expression on the counte nances of the republicans who have been deserted in their hour of direst need. It is not pleasing to contemplate. We see the glitter in the eyes of the progressives. It is something sinister. And yet here is the opportunity for the man who by his own confession knows best how the affairs of the city should be conducted, and who will not deny that he has drawn from his own personality his ideal of what the mayor of South Bend should be. AT GETTYSBURG. Memory and the imagination will have full play at Gettysburg for the next few days. For the old soldiers of both armies memory will work her spell. For the civilian visitor imagination must supply what memory does not possess and what the field markers do not supply. The positions of the opposing armies as they were disposed on the three days of the battle are plainly indicated by the markers erected by the government. So far as the movements of troops are concerned they can be followed accurately, but except for those who can summon memory to their aid or conjure the battle lines in their imagination the spaces will not be filled. The field sleeps peacefully beneath the summer sun. The roar of battle is stilled, the voices of combatants are hushed. The armies that fought and maneuvered are ghostly hosts. Only memory, the pictures of the imagination and a few straggling survivors remain. The thousands who soaked the soil of Pennsylvania with their blood have reaped the reward of sacrifice. The Peach Orchard, Big and Little Round Top and Cemetery Ridge are the same today that they were fifty years ago, except that they are the mementoes instead of the scenes of conflict. Soon the last survivor will have departed, memory will fade and history alone will tell the story, history as written in the books and as engraved on the markers at Gettysburg and on the gravestones of departed heroes. The fiftieth anniversary of the battle is an inspiring yet pathetic occasion. It marks the passing of so much and impresses so deeply on the contemplative mind the frightful price America has paid for her liberties. BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES. We say, many of us, that we admire an upstanding person, one with the courage of his convictions. What we mostly mean, itn't it, is a person with the courage of OUR convictions? For instance, how many suffragets will send bouquets to Erwin McCoon of Towanda, Pa., who recently put his advertisement in the local paper? WANTED—The woman who has been doing my washing has gone back on me; I must have a wife at once; would like a white woman, between 25 and 35 years of age, a maiden, who has not even given herself to any so-called Christian societies, or will forever renounce same and give herself up entirely to love, respect and obey me, while I love, cherish and protect her; my judgment always to be final and complete. Yet ought we not to think well of a candid soul who, being old-fashioned and "sot" in his notions, proceeds frankly to live up to them? If Erwin were a lord or duke instead of only a homespun Pennsylvania farmer, the chances are he'd have a raft of applications, the washing notwithstanding. As it is, we wonder. Yet who was it called woman the riddle of the ages? Maybe this plain way of wooing will prove effective. We've a lot of faith in truthful advertising. The announcement of the death of Rear Admiral George Brown will be read by many without a second thought, but if it had occurred fifty years ago it would have caused a sensation. Elkhart furnishes another instance of the interesting circumstance that no one is ever driving his motorcycle or automobile more than eight miles an hour when an accident happens. Cleaning up the city has reduced the output of flies, but the pest is not extinct and will quickly reinforce its

numbers if the fight is not persistently continued. Isn't it straining a point to quote Apostle Paul as an advocate of woman suffrage? The last we heard from Paul he was telling the women . to keep silence in the churches. The woman political boss has made her appearance in Chicago, and we are advised that "the female of the species is deadlier than the male." With the men stifling their pride and removing their coats at church may we hope that sometime the women will take off their hats? Perhaps we have been dull not to see all along that Editor Miller is the logical candidate of the "citizens" ticket. Sylvia Pankhurst is trying to make herself more of a nuisance than her mother, but she has assumed a big task. We view with pleasure and pride all broken records but those of heat and disaster. From now on we're going to take more interest in this lobby investigation. Our last word to Jack Johnson is that we hope he'll like it over there. Spiritualists can no longer claim exclusive rights on the stunt of materializing the invisible. We are expecting to hear the colonel remark, "I told you so." Goodby. June. We'll try to stick around until you get back. STATESMEN REAL AMD NEAR BY FRED C. KELLY. WASHINGTON, July 1. - It was not until he was part way through his first term in congress that young Mr. Simply A. W. Lafferty, of Oregon, discovered that he had overlooked a bet. He got the impression when he first came to Washington that one's autobiographical sketch in the Congressional Record should be short. Most of the sketches occupy only ten or fifteen lines each, and Lafferty took it for granted that that was about the limit. True, he noticed that Sen. du Pont of Delaware occupies about a page, with his lists of battles he has been in, but that, Lafferty supposed, was simply the one glaring exception that proved the rule. So he limited himself to the conventional ten lines when he wrote himself up. Some time after the book had gone to press, Lafferty learned of his mistake. It is not necessary to limit one's self to a mere handful of biographical data. One is permitted to go right ahead and tell the whole truth. Oh, of course, there is a limit; it wouldn't do to write so much that the directory would have to be printed in two volumes, like a Dumas novel; but unless one writes too absurdly much stuff, it goes in. The story is that Chauncey M. Depew, when he came to the United States senate, turned in a biography of 64 typewritten pages, which would amount to something like twenty columns in a newspaper. That, it was decreed, was, too much--much too much, and Sen. Depew was asked to leave out mention of some of the things he had been, and hold the directory down to something like its usual size. But all this is getting away from young Mr. Simply A. W. Lafferty, who is the subject of this that we're writing. The more Lafferty thought about the meager little ten biographical lines he had written, the more out of patience he became with himself. He had given himself a bare complimentary mention when just as well as not he could have had something long enough for an obituary. However, he did not let the oversight prey on his mind. He waited until the next directory was being made up and then he got even. Today he occupies almost a page in the directory with the second longest write-up in the book, and he spares himself not. His entire life is laid bare, right down to the little details. For instance, he says: "Full name is Abraham Walter Lafferty, but has always been called Walter, and signs his name A. W. Lafferty." However, Lafferty isn't a bad sort, at that. On busy days when Speaker Clark gets tired of sticking at his post, he beckons to some likely democrat and lets him be speaker for a little while. One of the men most often chosen for the honor is Rep. Finis Garrett of Tennessee. Observant members noted from time to time that the moment Garrett got in the chair he began to beckon to other members and hold little whispered conferences with them. As Speaker Clark rarely calls men up in front that way, there was a good deal of wondering what the important thing could be that Garrett was always having on his mind when the honor of presiding fell to him. A quiet investigation was started. Men who had been seen holding conferences with Garrett up in front were cautiously cross-examined. And it turned out that they weren't conferences at all. But Garrett is always thinking of funny stories and when he thinks of one he just has to tell it. He sits there in the speaker's chair and he sees some member who would appreciate the particular story he has in mind. What more natural than to call the member up and tell the story. Then another story occurs to Garrett and he looks over the house until he sees the man who would appreciate it. Before telling it Garrett cautions his man not to laugh, no matter how funny it may be, as that would tip off the frivolous nature of the conversation. It was the solemn looks of the story-teller and the victim that fooled the house. George F. Burba, the writer, who is secretary to the governor of Ohio, ued to have a funny hobby. It was promoting extemporaneous fights. Down in his native town of Hodgkinsville, Ky.. which was also the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. Burba was foreman of a little newspaper. Whenever he had a little time to spare he would call somebody in off the street and hide him under a big dry goods box that served as a table in the office. "Just keep perfectly quiet,' Burba

How to Dodge Lockjaw on the Fourth -- And Any Other Time

DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG, M.D. There are three ways to avoid the lockjaw that reaps its annual harvest after the Fourth of July. One way is by not using explosives on "the day we celebrate". Another Is by cutting open widely the wound and cauterizing every nook and cranny of it to its utmost recesses with carbolic acid. The best method of all is by injecting lockjaw antitoxin into the tissues immediately. Tetanus antitoxin is an absolutelycertain preventive if the patient is inoculated within one or two hours after the injury is received. It destroys the toxins or poisons- that are spread through the sytem by the tetanus bacilli, and which, if unchecked, 'paralyze the nerves and stiffen the Joints of spine and jaw until death results. No other virulent organism is more widely distributed in nature than the tetanus germ. It is found in the litter of every barnyard, and In the dust of every city street. The prongs of every pitchfork harbor it and it is in the earth of every field and fiower garden. It has been found in dirty clothes, on shoe soles, in gutters, on the surface of fruit, on pocket knives and even In sea water. But this gacillus, though well-nigh omnipresent, is far from vigorous. Sunlight and fresh air are its chief enemies. It is alo easily killed by most of the common antiseptics. When the bacilli are introduced into a wound, the body makes an effort to combat them and prevent their entrance Into tho blood-stream. If the wound is an open one, into which light and air may enter, the bacilli are killed soon and their dead bodies are expelled. But in case the bacilli happen to get into a deep or ragged wound, they increase rapidly and begin to send their toxins into all parts of the body. This is what often happens on the Fourth of July when some luckless small boy wounds himself with a toy pistol. The powder makes a ragged, confused wound, and drives into Its depths the tetanus bacilli that happen to be living in the grime upon his hand.

THE MELTING POT

THE CANDIDATE. A man can run for office If he likes in this country, He can pose as a reformer Or for party policy; No law prevents his saying He's the best man for the place, Nor making any platform He pleases for the race. He may believe he's gifted With a genius for control. He may hear a call unuttered, His virtues to extol; He may think himself the choice Of the eager populace And hold himself the only one The job to rightly grace. But there are others, he'll And, And things not what they seem, Contingencies that oft arise To dissipate his dream; What was so sure at first, he finds, Alas, proves shifting sands. And when the fireworks go off No telling where he lands. IT is none of our business, but what comfort the populace finds perching on the court yard wall and loitering about the business center on a hot Sunday night is beyond our powers of perception. It is as if we had no parks or no country roads within a mile or two of the sunbaked pavements, where the hot might cease from sweating and the weary find rest. "ABUSED 3Iother to be Quartered." Newspaper headline. Presumably she was first properly drawn. A 31E3IBER of the laity writing to the press advises the job-seeker never to go in quest of employment with an empty pocket, if possible to avoid it. "Line your pocket with a $20 bill borrowed from a friend for the occasion," writes this philosopher. We recognize & great principle involved in this advice. It is the principle of self-dependence. The feel of silver in the pocket, the consciousness of banknotes in tho wallet give confidence. To the extent of the purchasing power of the fund on hand the possessor is independent of jobs or sympathy. He need not cringe before the employer nor accept any terms the latter may choose to give. We might coin a phrase: Money in the pocket is courage in the heart. Where He Belonged. Sir: Billy Sunday sharpened his points with a good many telling stories. I was heartily in sympathy with all I heard or read, with one exception. You recall It a mother would say, 'and you'll hear something funny." Then he would call in still another man off the street and ak him: "John, what is your opinion of Billy iTu-and-So?" Billy being the man hid under the box. Nine times out of ten the man asked would say something to make the man under the box fightin' mad. Then the latter would scramble out from under the box and endeavor to knock the other fellow's face all out of kelter. Burba would lean against the wall and laugh with much glee. Rep. Seldomridge, of Colorado,

Instead of sending for a doctor and having the wound properly washed and dressed, the boy's mother binds it up herself, perhaps with a dirty rag and tells him to .5top crying. This means that the lockjaw germs are left where the powder forced them deep down in the lacerated tissue, among the dead and dying skin cells, and cut off from all light and air. Protected thus, and living under conditions ideallv adapted to their welfare, the bacilli begin to multiply and poison the nervous system. Such a wound would always be, cleansed thoroughly with carbolic acid

and watched daily. This can be done only by an experienced physician. And then tetanus antitoxin should! be injected into the patient's veins! given off by the bacilli. If this is done when the wound occurs, the patient recovers. If delayed until lockjaw symptoms appear antitoxin is of little help. An amount just sutliclent to confer immunity in the case of a suspected wound costs $1 and the amount needed to arrest an ordinary case costs from $25 to $4 0. Whenever one sustains a lacerated wound, it is advisable to wash it thoroughly and at once with soap and water and to flood it, before binding it up, With common peroxide of hydrogen. The peroxide gives -off oxygen, which causes the death of all tetanus germs It reaches. After this has been done, the wound should be covered with a strip of the antiseptic bandage sold at low cost by all drug stores. A clean, open wound, which bleed3 freely, is little apt to harbor the germs of lockjaw. Unless the flow of blood is excessive, it is well to make no effort to stop it. It will cease of Itself In a few moments. It is well to have a doctor dress all wounds, no matter how small they may be. He alone is capable of washing them as they should be washed and of estimating the likelihood of infection. His fee is money well invested. It may buy only insurance against a long, terrible, painful and expensive illness, and then again it may buy insurance againnt death. sent her photograph to her son who was a convict in a penitentiary, and he damned her and returned the picture, ascribing his downfall to her act in teaching him when young to play cards. There is no doubt a wide difference about the innate sin of cardplaying. Plenty of scapegrace excuse themselves for gambling because they, were not allowed to amuse themselvs with cards at home when young, where there would be no allurement for betting. But dealing with the case in question soleby on its merits, I think this particular reprobate was a moral pervert, a whining, self-pitying scoundrel, who had justly found his appropriate abiding place. 31.

Do thosethree runs count, or don't they? The Lilacs contend that, as the ball was not recovered along with Rocksy, he must have dropped it. Therefore, the runs score.
