28 TH1 Household GOOD HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER. Most people in the towns and cities view the arrival of the hot summer months with dread and apprehension. Hot streets, hot days, oppressive nights, headaches, stomach complaints, lassitude and ennui are nintnrpH in thn oe usual concomitants cf the summer months in this climate. As a matter of fact, there is no reason why any one in the cities and towns should fear the summer. To be sure, if all rules of health are disregarded, and if a person tries to live in the summer as he would in the winter, there is grave danger of sickness and physical discomfort. But, on the other hand, a few common sense principles, rigorously followed, will insure the city man a comfortable and healthy summer, no matter how hot the weather may be. The first essential for good health in summer is precaution against overexertion. No man should walk during the hot hours of a summer's oay any more than is necessary. He should not indulge in strenuous sports or games when the sun is hot. and he should avoid the sun as much as possible. Walking in the Droning sun with one's hat on is as dangerous as it is senseless and useless. Careful diet is also very necessary for summer comfort. Vegetables and fruits are healthy and nourishing, if taken in moderation, but meats should not be eaten in large quantities. The prudent man will avoid overeating in the summer, and will take care to prevent diarruea, while keeping his bowels open. Coolitig, non-alcoholic drinks are sometimes helpful, but they should always be used most moderately. Next in importance comes the question of rest. While our average Southern climate is not so torrid as to demand the complete suspension of all work during the midday hours, it is so warm that none should attempt the hardest work of the day during that time. The best plan is to regulate your work so that routine matters, involving little physical exertion, should be performed in the middle of the day, leaving important and exerting business to the morning and late afternoon hours. Watch changes in the weather and change your clothing accordingly. If a cool spell comes on, put on more clothes; if an unusually warm spell occurs, reduce unnecessary clothing to a minimum. Never forget that good health is good common sense consistently practiced. ROOVI TO GROW.
