UMMER is the season when most city people take their year’s exercise... Men and women who work inj; offices, stores, shops and factories the rest of the year should start on their vacations with the purpose of laying in a store of health and recreation to last them until next vacation time. ” A-word of warning to all yacationjsts is timely. Judicious exercise is desirable, of| course. The} regular use of the muscles increases the power to} resist disease and the ability to:throw off microbes. The number of red corpuscles in the blood and the ¥ elasticity of the-air cells in the lungs are added to by Sexerclse. Life ts made nore cheerful, the blues are dispelled and) every © {Gay ts happler when agretable exercise is regularly taken. But the hot days of July are not the best time to exercise. s Rowing:a boat in the scorching ‘sun, baiting a termis ball with the) -< Giermometer at 90, climbing hills at midday and like vacation pursults should be-avoided. sudden change in diet and habits from the} crowded city fo the mountains or the seaside is enough of a strain with out unnecessarily adding to the work of the heart and the nerves. OH! SE THE srr PREY {EUetaashantivnatit The best way to enjoy a vacation is to loaf, © - Take a complete rest. Go where there {s somefiting to see and Iittle to do, preferably} “where there are trees and grass, because fooking at them is restful to the |- “eyes and soothing to the brain. If at the seashore, select a place where there is a-view-of-the ocean from sn easy chair in the shade. es Do not move about much. The scquirement of the art of sitting still and doing nothing would add to:the length of American lives and to jasthe serenity of the Irritable American temper. A hammock }s good for @ change from an exsy chair. — e “For those who need to develop pattence fishing ts good; not trout fishing on tHe water, but fishing from the bank under a tree, with a novel <r a cigar. If the fish do not bite, so mmuch the better. The purpose of vacation fisting should not be to catch fish, but to fish for them, Li pk Bo. % As | HERE 1s great diversity of temperament among I pia.

If there-is fresii | "water, go in It and learn to swim. Before breakfast take a shower bath. ‘<. Where are portable showers, purchasable for a few dollars, which can be “tung from the ceiling or the wail and attached to any-spigol: A shower 4s more invigorating then a tub bath. “A vacation 1s needed not so much as_a reflef from work—few peopl ~ = work. too much—but as a respite from worry and nervousness, Fidget- “fing is more exhausting than work. Insomnia uses up the nervous -6ys- ™ tem more rapidly than any daylight toll, The best time to exercise is in the cold winter and the damp spring. REA "BE “THE! g Thinkers g About “No. 6—John A.
