The experience is an expensive one,

satisfied element invariably appears in
the professional tourist Summer va
cation means change of air and change
of scene, and there are many folks who
are continually changing their summer
resort. To have sojourned last year at
Long Branch means a month in the
White Mountains this season. or a
summer at Newport this year indicates
residence at Saratoga Springs next
season. We Americans are the most
restless. changing, unsatisfied people
on earth.
There is n certain class of city people,
however, who cling to their favorite
mountain or lake, the kind of people
who do not like the roaring sea and the
board walk, They want quiet, noun
tain air and scenery always. SO it ap-
pears that, after all, Saratoga Springs.

George, the Adirondack Mountains
and the New England coast have their
regular visitors. and they are among
the people with whom going to the
country is almost as easy as it is for
those more fortunate ones who have
their own country homes. There is an
other smaller class Of summer tourists
who go to Europe for their outing. The
hard times. the higher steamship rates,
the advancing prices for living in Eng
land and on the continent and the de-
sire for retrenchment have reduced
tn class considerably. and many peo-

THE QUESTION OF THE VACATION sEAsoN-wHERE TO COZ

Inlay Island. All along the great lakes
are scattered beautiful places of re-
sort, and some have economical fea-
lures that give the slim pocket-book a
fair chance.
The person who gets the most good
out of his few weeks of summer vacation
does not own a cottage ut any resort.
He goes to different place each year,
never makes the same trip twice. 1t is
the most tiresome thing In the world
to be obliged to go to the same cottage,
and have the same neighbors, and do
the same things, and dress in the same
fashionable sort of clothes that you do
all the rest of the year. After such a
season one feels as IL he must now
take rest elsewhere, and he needs II
far more than he did at the beginning
of summer. ~,
Don't go where you will meet any
one you know II you can help II. Don't
go to the same place you have gone,
perhaps, for years. Go to some new
place not fashionable resort, but one
which is comparatively new to every
body, some wild place where civiliza-
ton has not ruined the natural beauty
of the scenery. Get near to Natures
heart and stay there. Fill your days
with out Of door pleasures. Lie on the
pine needles somewhere In the North
woods and take In all the good, clear
sweet breath Of the woods and study
by observation everything or anything
In Nature. Dream-dream all day long
and sleep and eat. 1t Will not be neces.
sary to lay any command down to eat
for any one who spends his time in
the woods by the lakes cannot help but

men had great trouble in getting at the
blaze. They had to chop holes in the
floor of the dynamo room before they
could get a stream OH the blazing pile
Of waste. Not waiting for the dyna-
mos to be shut down, they crept
through the black smoke and turned a
stream on the flames. In an instant
they were flung to the ground with
great violence, and the hose was sent
flying into the air. a heavy current
had passed along the stream and had
shocked them. Though unconscious
when rescued. they quickly recovered.

Dangers of Smoking.

While many surgeons deny the exist
ence Of smokers cancer" others indi-
cate tobacco as the cause of cancer Of
the lips and nasal fossae. The disease
from this cause Is said to be lobulated
epithelioma, sometimes Of horny tissue.
1t shows particularly among smokers
who pay no attention to the cleaning Of
the mouth, who smoke short clay pipes
to the bottom and who use an inferior
quality of tobacco. The under lip or
part Of the tongue most in contact with
the overheated stem of the pipe Is most
frequently attacked. These neoplasms

grow in the base of the tongue and ON
the tonsils of those who have lost their
teeth, and who hold the pipe deep in
their mouth. The weight Of the pipe is
source Of irritation, and the cancer is
found on the side where the pipe is
held. Contagion from two men using
the same pipe may result. When an
early operation is performed on can
croids situated on the lip the prognosis
may be favorable, but the reverse Is
the case when the tonsils or tongue are
attacked. Smokers should use a pipe
with an amber mouthpiece, and 1t
should never be smoked to the bottom.
Acrid tobacco should be avoided.-Chi-
