DOMESTIC HYGIENE.

HOW TO MAINTAIN HEALTH IN HOT CLIMATES.

The question of health in hot countries practically resolves itself in the over coming of the difficulties due to extremes of temperature, dryness, moisture and missmats. These, in their turn, are affected by questions of food, drink, cloth- ing, lodging, exercise and recreation.

Light woollen underclothing is cardinal point in health, and a so-called cholera belt is often of great value. Exposure to the direct solar heat or a high temperatore in the shade should be avoided, and so should stimulating or rich food and alcoholic drinks, the latter being taken in extreme moderation, if used at all.

The diet should be plain and simple, and an excess of animal food should be rigorously avoided, with the view of ob- viating dyspepsia, congestion of the liver

The Sixth Annual General Meeting of the Consolidated Malay Rubber Estates (Limited) was held on the 2nd instant at the London Chamber of Commerce, Oxford-court, London, Mr. George Grant Anderson presiding..

The Representative of the Secretaries (Messrs. Shand, Haldane, and Co.) having read the notice convening the [moeting and the auditors' report,

The Chairman said:-Gentlemen,-I assume that, as customary, we shall take the report and accounts as read. The total crop of rubber secured for the past year was 401,807ban Increase of 30,4271b. on the 1910 crop-and was obtained from 141,840 trees-un average yield over all of 2.38lb. per tree-and in view of the fact that 30 per cent. were taken into of the tapped trees tapping during the year. the gutturn must be considered fairly satisfactory. The estimate for the current year is The average gross price 450,000h. realised was 4s. 10ld, per lb., a rather disappointing figure comparatively, see- in other circumstances, from the blubbering that our rubber has hitherto been which the Eskimo finds sufficient.

The result is due "Every authority states that people in in the first rank. tropical countries eat more than they can partly to the fact that a considerable assimilate or is needed for their nutrition. Purtion of our crop The result is they get deranged digestion, disordered liver, bowel complaints, and their power of assimilation is greatly re duced.

HOW TO AVOID LISTLESSNESS. The enervating nature of the climate nakes most people imagine they need an alcoholic stimulant. They do not; but there is absolutely no need for people to become cranks on the subject of teetotal. ism, although doctors everywhere are preaching the value of complete absten tion from alcohol.
