most persons that if thev bathe m cold water drink iced lemon ade ginger ale ice water etc sleep with a thin covering over them eat cold dinners and rub their face with their pocket hand kerchiefs everv few minutes that they will be cool or at least as comfortable as the weather will permit now this is all wrong a cold drink makes one feel ex ceedingly comfortable for a few moments and then the individual will feel warmer than ever and perspire more profusely the best wav to keep cool is as follows do not drink any ice water take only one glass of soda or lemonade a day eat a warm dinner but do not eat quite as much as vou want take hot tea or coffee for breakfast just as jou do in winter sleep with a very light gauze blanket over yon in the night and take a spongebath in tepid salt water before retiring this makes the body cool and keeps mosquitoes away do not wear a heavy hat or tight collar wear light flannels low out shoes carry an umbrella and above all do not rub your face too often because the action only heats the skin to a greater degree and makes you perspire more freely ii this advice is strictly followed you will be cooler and healthier anything that was handy little
