It should be taken cool, but not Iced; and yet Icewater Is harmless when each swallow Is held In the mouth until the chill Is off. Children usually call for all the water they need, and should al ways get It. We hear of persons who never drink water, but eat foods that are watery fruits and vegetables. This may work on a csrefully selected diet. But those who eat freely of cooked food and the ordinary fare of average people, need water, ajid ss a rule the worse the diet the more water they require.

"Open your win dows at top and bottom and the fresn air will run In one way while the Im pure escapee the other," The fact Is that air robbed of oxy gen and loaded with carbonic acid gas (exhaled air) mingles freely with the other air In a room, Just as dirty water poured Into a vessel of clean water will befoul the entire contents. In cool weather there Is something of a draft aa the doctor describes, the warm up per air of a room rushing out and the cold air outside rushing In below. But In . warm weather ventilation must be effected by openings at different sides of a room better opposite sides since only so can a draft be created when tha outside air and the air inside are near the same temperature- The best rule for ventilation In summer la to live outdoors, the 'next best Is to spend as much time as possible on the porch, .MJ, the rit peet,!?.to have alMhe win- dows and dooia as wide "open day " and night as practicable.
