JUNE 15, 1955 Nurse Tells How To Beat The Heat By Dorcas Copeland, R. N. Lydia Mills Nurse A look at the records reveals that every year when heat and humidity are at their peak, many cases of heat sickness are reported. The perspiration from your skin is water which your body gives up in the attempt to cool you off. As moisture evaporates it cools the surface of the skin and this helps you feel more f / \?* n K1 r? ^? ?-? - - - ? ? vuiuiui tauic. v?-/ii ct very WdI II1 day or while working or playing very hard, the body may give off more than two quarts of water through the skin alone. It is important that this i water be replaced each day to keep other body organs in | good working order. Besides helping cool the , body, water is essential for good digestion, elimination j and proper kidney action. The , kidneys may be harmed if not enough water is provided to help reduce the high concentration of waste products they must remove from the bloodstream. You can usually let ' your thirst be your guide in meeting the needs for water. If VOU oersniro frnnlv vmi 1 are probably losing some of the salt content of your body, j It is wise and very important to replace this salt unless your doctor has you on a salt-free diet. Because weather and work conditions vary and be- ( cause every human being is affected differently, even under similar circumstances, it is impossible to fix any dcfi- , nite formula for additional salt in hot weather. The amount of salt you need depends on the amount you lose through perspiration. Merely taking a little extra salt with vour food at mpaltimoc mnv be sufficient, but often taking j salt tablets which are provid- i ed in the mills will be most helpful. They often will prevent heat sickness and fatigue ,/ 7oof^ o Steve Tucker, Clinton Mills, has been out sick. Marvin Owens. Clinton Mills, has been on the sick list.
