It is, of course, worse than folly to doff ono s woollen underclothes or to indulge in openwork blenses and the like. Such foolishness is the cause of the majority of cases of the summer chill: which not infrequently develop into 'pneumonia,

In the matter of diet, however, there is a tendency to change one's plan of daily eating and drinking too drastically.

For a escaivorous citizen to convert himself into a vegetarian or "fruitarian "in worse thas foolishness. By far the best course is to keep one's customary food, but to ent less of it.

The consumption of large quantities of no- cooked fruit instead of the ration of flesh të | which one is accustomed does not make for physical coolness, and is apt to put the diges. tion out of order..

And it should go without saying that all fruit. should be cooked.
