It is more than probable that no one thing oftener falls of its purpose than the annual vacation, for instead of re- turning with renewed vigor y re< turn to. business jaded and worn. There are so many wild ways of having & vacation that many Simply drep thelr work and add to their ex- ssses, which in no way improves their health A purposeless vacation is one in which Ma just displays her wardrobe and jewels, Sis plays the part of a popular sunimer girl, Bob devotes him. self to’ sport and flirtations, and Pa uses twice as much tobacco, drinks twice as much wine or whiskey, and is twice as profane because he 1s firri- tated by being away from business. The only good vacation there Is is the one which gives a fresher and bet- ter thrill to life and increases the memory pictures which delight the soul and rob life of more than half its nightmares. There 1s no such thing as designing a vacation for anyoné else; but on géneral principles those vacationists gét most out of their absence from business who conduct themselves in an orderly way and by edding to the pleasures of others whom they chance t0 meet in the pure air districts, or the beauty spots of earth, have wrought better than they knew and have more to give zest than they an- tietpated. . “The fool's vacation consists of rock- ing the boat and drowning mote de- cent and deserving people, but his lin- gering regrets aré never half as keen as they deserve to Taking a vacation € not taking out of yourself more than the change can &ive back. Don’t lose your balance ‘when you think you are recuperating. DIET AND DISEASE. ‘There is an age approaching when the cook in the kitchen will know the relations of diet and disease and so prepars food as to avoid physical dis- tufbances, Among the well-informed it is well known that too much meat and too thuch starchy food are the cause of physical disturbance and distress. The wise physician today tells his rheumatic patients t6 mix lesy and to eat le&s food. Over-sating and chreless eating ars the cause of three- fourths of the physical diseases T* Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Edison remain rugged and happy upén twelve ounces of food & day, @oesn’tithe fact that the public Chterers estimate an avetage of 3 ounces or more & day for guests indicate that the eweess of 064 taken is great and confirm the truth of the maxim: “Many deople dig their graves with their teeth?” Admiral Dewey, on béing compli- iented recently on his superd health, smiled and sald: “I attribute my geod condition to pleaty of exercise and no banquets. One-third of What we éat, you khow, enables us to live $ “In that case,” said his friend, jést- ingly, “what becomes of the other two. “ thirds 2 “Ch,” sald the admiral, “that en- ables the docter to Iive. This is a jest heavily freighted with the truth, and leaves no doubt Admiral Déwey undersiands the relation of diet to_disease. It is difficult to make the fact un- derstood that meat is not necessary thres times a day, although it has Been repeatedly shown that men eat- ing 1o meat are Dftenest winners in teats of freight and endufance, Only persens efigaged in heavy phy- sieal work can digel three heavy meals & day; and the reasen many people are incapacitated by disease is because they try to. 4 5 This is alse the cause of sudden deaths in warm weather from acuté ‘indigestion; and as a gorged stomach crowds the hefirt and lowers thé vi tality it makes geod eatérs more sub: 68t 16 sunstréke and other suldem | in the end be takén over hy the gov- me.

Norwich js still in the combustible city class. EUROPE'S WARLIKE AGITATION; The fighting blood of the Buropean nations has been stirred for some time by the war against Turkey by th Balkan states during which time It re- quired all the patience and diplomacy of the allied nations to keep Austria from tdking a hand in the issues. It was/ apparent enough at the close of the 'war that Austria was not satis fied and since then the action of Rus- #ia and the maneuvering of the French troops on the German frontier have indicated that an outbreak between old enemies was probable, so the news of a breaking off of the diplomatic re- lations between Austria and Hungary with Servia are not surprising. While England and France seem to be calmly watching governmental movements, Germany and Russia are fearfully agitated by the war spirit, Ttaly is restless and Austria has her naval fleet assémbled and her armies on the move and a conflict: seems im- minent, ) ‘While the war bodes ill to the Euro- pean nations involved, it will not be likely to prove an unmixed blessing to Ametica, for wphile it will quicken some of our ldnguishing. industries it is very likély to send prices up here which are high enough already, ® In the interests of humanity it is to be hoped war will be averted and a settlement be made which will guaran- tee peace to Europe for years to-come. The fact that two great nations suggest that the exciting issues be settled* by mediation leaves no doubt the spirit of peasce is making a deep impression where it should be most productive of results. The war cloud appears to be going to pieces. News quickly followed that Seryvia yielded to Austria under pro- test. — EDITORIAL NOTES. Food for thought lies around loose; but food for the chickens must be bought at trust prices.

Time was When the bathing beach- was the vantageé where all feminine fine points the charms of the belle are as comwtely hidden undet ths up to date bathing costume as the light under the proverbial bushel. Skirts are no longer than heret fore, d the pantalette a la mode is glimpsed generously below in ruched and ruffied giory. Panniers of differ- ent colors are a favorite triming, and, togéther with bustle effects in the bouffant bouyancy, will do doubt cause a decided slump in the demand for “wings”, bladders and cork beits by_timorous swimmers. Brilliant colors that are fast and certainly look it are another feature, and.rebber flowers made into carsaze bouquets are the last gasp in aquatic fashions. Imagine what & snappy ef- fect a spray of pink rubber foses will add to vour bathing suit; ‘and the spring touch impartéd by & bunch of purple rubber violets- is sure t6 win at the stretch. Certainly 'nobody could classify these elastic violets as belonging to the shrinking varlety. The newest sandals are in ht satin to match the bathing suit and are built like the late tango slippers with divers straps. Nothing could be more apropos than a desp wea green slipper with. divers straps to covér an under toe, now could there? Theé sandals that perform the agqua- tic feat of covering bathing feet awrd thé chic floyer trimmed hats that top the hirsute ‘waves .that top the ocean Wwaves are not the sallent features cf the newest bathing suits, however. The really striking innovations, af- ter all, are the superabundance of bouffant buéties, panniers and puffs. The minuts you get one on you, vou are bound to belong to the floating population.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES. ~ Charming p! ens of white, inafores of colored lin- embroidered in colors, makes pleasant summer work for thosé who plan ahead for Cbristmas. The stamped patterns are really at- tractive; flufty Kittens, processions of ducks and floral designs are all ap- propriate and amusing both to donor and recipient. - For a summer cover on baby's crib or couch, there is a charming fancy in blue or pink linen with a wide. border, the whole quilted as though it were of silk. On the colored cehters are appliqued fascinating white bun- nies with long ears, cut out of white linen, with embroidered black éyes, stitched on the quilt by the maker. When making & nightgown for a growing child buy a pattern that ie too large and use the body part of that pattern and the sieeves of &duu pattern which fits the child. T ex- amplé, for a child of & year or a year and & half buy a 4-year pattern. Use the body 5 this pattern and use for the sleevest the pattern of a _dress sléeve for a child of one year. In do- ing_ this the nightgown will not be too large of bulky; it will simply be roomy. The sleeves will become to0o|. short before the gown is worn You must theh put new sleevs in the required sife. In thie way the night- gown can be worn out and not dis- carded or given away while stll in good condition. TO COOK SPINACH. In cooking spinach never put water in the pot. Wash the vegetable thor- out. petals are | oughly and put over the fire; it will { create sufficient water to cook itself, and its virtues will not be thrown down the sink. Let those Who hesti- tats 'to cook spinach this way for fear %f burning it, tfy it. They wl !beeeumnuhoa at the amount of water | séen after the cooking. Less salt should be put in when boiled in this way, for obvious reasons. SHELLAC SHINES BRASS. When brass beds become tarnished as they often 8o, you can lacquer them and make them like new. Hirst rub the brass vigorously with a flan- nel dipped in whiting, then get 10 cents' worth of shellae, dissélve it in enough alcohol t6 make it thin. Ap- ply with a small brush. It can bas done quickly and the bed will look as pretty as if sent to the factory and is much cheaper. SUMMER ROOMS. Even at its worst a bare room in summer is a great improvement on the same room ciad in winter gar- ments. But, nevertheless, ther¢ really is no necessity for having it so bare as to maké it ugly. Little scrim or muslin curtains are too sheer to keep ,out the breeze, and yet they save the windows from that bleak look which { no curtains at all produce. It is qui.e right to cover the fyrniture to protect {1t from the dust, but it can be coversd with chints or cretonme instead of plein denim. Then, too, the absénce of rugs makes a room very bare and this is really unnecessary. Little rag rugs are to be bought very cheap and are just’ the thing for summer use. Two or three will be just enough to make the room look cool and without looking bare. These can be y washed when they become dirty.
