I)r Fraser offers ten liealtii Hlnta K for hot weather tiiat are eaKlly followed by young and old. Tliey are: ' Take It easy? don't rush around. Wear a iiat out in Die huh. W? ar cool.

Take frequent tepid (not cold) hatha. Do not Htay In direct sunshine for long periods. Avoid large meetings in poorly yen' Dialed auditoriums. "If all of lis would observe these rules," Dr. Fraser said, "our general physical condition would be vastly improved and we would be able to withstand hot weather with much less difficulty." In commenting on his ten health hints for hot weather, Dr. Fraser feels that children are more apt to forget rules live and six. which are extremely Important for them, while adults are very likely to ignore rules one, two and frequently six. "Children, because they really don't know any bettor, tire very prone to overeat, and to gulp large quantities of Ice cold 'pop' and water," Dr. Fraser remarked. "They should be carefully controlled along these lines Children either observe the balance of the health hints without knowing that they are doing so or, because of their youth and vitality, they can afford to ignore them For Instance, u child may rush around all day long without a hat. frequently out In the sun. and show no ill effects. On the other hand, they Inst (net I vely prefer a minimum of clothing and will sleep readily, if i ihey are (I red. | "Adults, however, should avoid go-1 ling out without a hat. They should | also drink sparingly of 'Ice cold' liq-' ulds alul, very important, see to it I that they get plenty of sleep and rest. In addition, grown people should retrain from expending great quantities of energy in needless haste. On hot days take it easy." I Two Common Hot Weather Ailments Sunstroke and heatstroke. Dr. Fraser points out, are two hot weather ailments that are quite cotnmon though very different in their symptoms and in the way they affect the sti icken individual. Both sunstroke and heatstroke can be avoided by following the health hints for hot weather Sunstroke Sunstroke can be avoided by keeping out of the hot sun and by not overdoing In physical exercise An in tack frequently begins with nausea. . giddiness and mental excitement, following a long .exposure to the sun. 1 he face is flushed, the pulse full and rapid.

Hut from then on they were dangerous for every team in the league and their march of progress came to a successful close last Friday evening when they won the penant for the flrat half of the league race. To win the rag, the Sox were compelled to defeat the Kershaw Guards, a brilliant team, now under the captaincy of "Chuck" Russell. The score was 0 to 11 and It just about told the story of the game. For five Innings "Screw Rail' Hasty j poured his slants across the pan and I so spaced were the few hits guthered 1 by the soldier boys that not a score | threatened. It was not until the sixth i did th?- Guards bust the gooHe egg j record on the score sheet by pushing ( Klmer, the Great Reeves, over the ' marking block. Their appetite whet- ! ted by this one run, they started a seventh inning rally that netted them' two more counters. The Kb so boys started right In to ' take possession of the title honors by, pushing four counters across the pan in the opening round. Ross Shirley 1 greeted Russell with a clout good for i a base. He was forced by Mays and when West made a bad peg of Ruse's grounder, all hands were safe. Golf was safe on Russell's error, Mays scoring. H. Jackson tripled to right and Rose and Golf scored. Jackson came home on Thomas' out at first. The Ksso lads put away their war clubs for a few Innings but began another bombardment in the fifth, which coupled with errors by Rell and West, added two more runs. The first half of the race- came to a close with four teams tied for second place honors, they being the Guards, Cubs, Wolves and Professionals. The second half opened Monday and at the close of this round of play the winners of the first and second half will play off for the championship.

HOT WEATHER TALK AND 80ME HOT WEATHER 8TATI8TIC8 'i'ho main subject of conversation for the past eight days has been the weather?In fact none have wanted to do anything else?except to devise means of keeping cool. -> An interesting conversation occurred between several business men in various professions in which the question was asked, "What do you sleep In?" Most of them replied "pajamas." Three old fogies were made to admit that they slept in old-fashioned nightshirts. The others pressed further, said they slept in short*?and still further, one admitted that he slept in "nuthln' " ? Which brings to mind a discussion begun sofne time before the death of tlie late Clark Howell, as to who wore old-fashioned nightshirts." It revealed the fact that a number of nationally known celebrities wore the long gowns and despised the pajamas. We would like to know a list of the oldtimers who wear the long gowns and it would make interesting rejading j matter. The Joke is going the rounds that one of the old-timers was going away on a trip and his modern-day wife told him to buy pajamas and hid his old-timers" when she was packing his suit-case. Showers and good rains have fallen all around Camden for several days,' but only a trace of rain has been felt here, and that was about noon Wednesday. A heavy rain and electrical storm occurred at Bethune Tuesday night, and a slight breeze was created around this section, but it did not last long. Rut getting down to official records, government observer, H. Arthur Brown, whose thermometer Is supposed to be accurate, tells us that tor the past seven days, the offclal reading shows that the following figures are accurate: July 8?high 93;-low 67 July 9?high 97.^; low 76 July 10- -high 99; low 73 July 11?high 100; low 73 July 12?high 100; low 71 July 13?high 100; low 73 July 14?high 100; low 73 Aiken, bouth Carolina, a rival winter resort reported a thermometer reading of 104?which shows we have her beat on both winter and summer temperatures. But at that It wfts hotter in Camden than it was in Hell, Michigan, where it was 93 degrees. Party For Guest i gloria Nicholson was hostess ast r riday evening when she gave a party for her house guest, Miss Frances Jeffords, of Orangeburg.

Sox Win By Forfeit When the Jenkins Cubs failed to show up for their game with the Esso White Sox Wednesday afternoon, the bureau of recreation gave the game to the Sox. who immediately climbed into a first place tie with the Redfearn Motors and the Merchants. A team of players was recruited from the members of other teams at the athletic field and they gave the champion Sox team a real argument for seven innings, losing only by a 9 to 8 count. Manager Percy Mays went on. the hill for Kssos but when V. Williams spanked a homer out Into deep right with a runner on the path, Percy called it a day and retlrdd in favor of John Oadawalder Laney, who was greeted with a fusllnde of singles and two more runs. Rut Johnny stuck to his guns and held the Pick up crew to a goose egg In the fourth and a lone run in the fifth when he was relieved by Norrls.
