The summer pleasure seekers have
various resorts to visit--some the
mountains. others the lakes. while
others the shores of the deep sea.
There is a vast difference in persons

Gently, land if one were to lie aside all
attachments of past associations and
seek places which would be best for mis-
health, they would. of course, get bene-
fit from it. For there really are those
to whom the moist sea air is not agree
able, and who at the mountains would
get new lease of life. and vice versa.
ret these people might be what could
be called in perfect health. Some thrive
in high attitudes other in low. Social
consideration combined with the as
sociations of summers gone by, d.
much to determine ones summer re-
sort. and while there are some who try
different places every year. most of US
can be found, year after year, at the
same old stand. But one generally
gets fine start, and let the foreigners
say what they will about the Ameri
cans abusing rather than using their
vacations. it isn't often that one comes
home from an outing without being
materially rested, if temporarily fa-
tigued. And the only trouble is we
don't get enough of it.

There We're. two deaths in this
city, last week. from diphtheria.
and now two children are i'll with the
disease. About two weeks ago. Mrs
William Shaw and 5-year-old son. of
Stephen Woods, near the stock farm.
East Belfast. On her arrival the boy
was found to be Ill. but no physician
was called and the boy died, Saturday
July Il. The mother was taken sick
the day of her bays death. A physi-
elan, however. was not called until
Tuesday. who at once recognized the
dread disease. Mrs. Shaw was removed
from Mr.. Woods house and Quaran-
tined. She died Wednesday of last
week. Her age was q years, and she
was a native of Belfast. The family of
Mr.. Woods was also quarrantined by
order of the board of health. Friday,
one of rM. Woods grandchildren was
taken i'll, and Saturday second child
was taken with the disease. However,
both are now convalescent and will
probabaly recover. Every precautiOn
has been made by the board of health
to prevent the disease spreading. 1t is
said that there is on open swer near the
home of Mrs. Shaw, in Augusta, which.
undoubtedly. is the cause of her disease.
Augusta officials have been notified to
Observation-Disclosures Age. The Au-
gusta board of health reports that
no notification of the case has been
made to them. previous to seeing
the above. On visiting a number of
the Shaws and others in this city who
would be in a way to know, no such
person as the above could be found by
them.
