The Memorial hospital is constantly crowded and does not have enough space to adequately care for patients in a county with a population the size to which McHenry county has grown.

And September has yet to come. Thus, we are still faced with the problem of what cur diet should be on those days when the mercury tries to push the top of the thermometer or when the humidity- well, the less said about humidity, the better. The point is, what and how should we eat during hot weather? Some persons can continue to eat normally, but most seem to lose their appetites, with the result that during a heat wave many people lose a certain amount of weight. (This isn't too bad, since most of us are over-weight and can afford to "knock off a couple of pounds, anyway.") It really makes no difference whether we eat hot or cold meals during the summer, according to Health Information Foundation of New York. Nor do we have tc have "at least one hot meal s day" as some people feel is necessary. Hot or cold meals, if properly balanced, have the , same food value. The important thing to remember, the Foundation says, is what one eats. It Js best to avoid sweets and starchy . and fatty foods as often as possible. But lean meats, milk, eggs, fruit juices and fresh1 fruit, fish and green vegetables are always good to eat, winter jar" summer. And as for thirst quenchers, water is by far the most satis* fying. Other liquids are thirst quenchers too, but onlyv in relation to the amount of water they contain, while sweet drinks are surcharged with calories and therefore riiore fattening than cooling. When to eat, whether three times a day or more often and in small quantities, does not have too much effect on weight. With ffl TURTLES „ IRAND m* There is No Substitute Fer Good Plastering.

' "v\ As to the age-old argument over whether ice cold drinks* or hot are more cooling to the body . ... it all depends. Take icecold drinkfi. They're hot harmful if taken slowly and in Small amounts at a ~ time. Gulped'in a large quantity, ice-cold drinks may produce stomach cramps because the body cannot warm up the liquid rapidly enough. In humid weather, hot drinks are not more cooling than cold ones, simply because excess perspiration thus caused Cannot evaporate in humid weather and therefore have no cooling effect. Evaporation of perspiration is one of nature's^ chief methods of cooling the body. When humidity is high, hot drinks only add to already exeess perspiration. But in dry weather, hot drinks are cooling since the excess perspiration they cause is readily evaporated. " What about the body tieeding more salt during Hot 'weather? Persons who perspire considerably, such as those who,do heavy work, frequently require additional salt in their food. However, persons with high blood pressure and kidney, liver and heart diseases, must consult their physician about the amount of salt they may takedrug, chemical and alEed industries to collect and-4 distribute factual information on health care, progress and Services "lfR-,7the United States.) * (Health Informatibn Foundation is a non-profit, non-political organization sponsored by the Weather Not To Blame For Most Fata}, ^ccldeptf You can't blame 4t the' weather! • In 84 per cent of the 32,500 fatail motor vehicle, accidents last year, the "weather was clear or merely cloudy.
