The Drawbacks of a Vacation (2) The annual vacation is a great strain on the endurance of the aver- age vacationist. We ought to begin several weeks in advance of our an- nual vacation, training for the event. It is @ pretty serious thing to jump suddenly from a life of indolence and soft luxury and softer food and still softer muscles to a life of activity and rough edges and tough food 'and great muscular_exertion. Trouble with the vacation habit is that the people who need it the least have it the worst. I mean people like you and me who never work but just use their wits to live by.
