THE SUMMER VACATION.
A Change Even if in Minor Things
VIII Be a Great Benefit.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward w. Box gives some sensible advice
upon Going Away in Summer" He
points to the mistake that instead of a
rest and change so many women and
girls, physically tired and in need of re-
cuperation, make of their vacations a
round of continuous gayety, every mo-
rnent crowded with some excitement or
pleasure. In consequence, the woman
who goes away for a rest comes back
tired and worn out. Mr.. Box very truly
says: I'VE all speak of going away
when we start on a vacation. But most
of us do not go away Going away
means cutting ourselves entirely free
from everything that has entered into
our lives during the year-away from
things which have occupied as, away
from disturbing troubles, away from
depressing surroundings, away from
ones daily self to seek for ones best
self, away from familiar places and
people. Such a change means change
IN ourselves, in our thoughts, in our
IDEAS, in our motives, in our outlook on
everything. The idea that we must ever
keep ourselves busy, even in vacation,
SO that the mind may not become rusted,
is all nonsense"
For those who cannot go away Mr.
Rok advises a change in their mode of
living, or in their daily work. 1--WE need
a change in our lives he contends,
'teven if it is only a change of rooms;
Of merely not sleeping in the same
rooms in summer as we do in winter,
or even a rearrangement of the furnit-
ure of the curtains, carpets or pictures
in cur room-any change. No woman is
so humble of circumstances that she
cannot make her life pleasanter and
higher, bringing some change into it. A
rest at home, with the mind refreshed
by comprising minor changes from day
to day, is oftimes as much needed and
as beneficial as a long journey to other
places or in other lands. Ones limita-
tions are often of immeasurable good as
they show us how to get personal ben
eft in spite of them. Going away in
the summer need not always mean leav-
ing the city or leaving ones home. 1t is,
Of course, better if we can do so. But
we can stay at home and yet go away
go away from things as we have had
them for a twelve-month, and make

Postum Cereal in place of ordinary cof-
fee and Postum was used on the entire
trip.
Naturally, careful investigation into
the qualities of Postum preceded its
adoption by the officer in Chicago. 1t
is quite generally known to athletes
themselves, that Postum Cereal Food
Coffee adds, in marked degree, to the
power of any man for continuous physi-
cal exertion, the heart, lungs and
nerves, working vastly better than
where ordinary coffee has been used.
The reason for this is that Postum is
made of certain parts of cereals, skill
fully selected and scientifically pre-
pared. Certain ingredients of food are
needed by the human body to supply
the peculiar gray substance that should
fill every nerve cell in the body. This
cannot be obtained from drugs, but
must come from food Postum Cereal
Food Coffee is made from these ele-
ments. 1t looks like coffee and tastes
much like it, but is a distinct beverage
rich in food value and standing on it's
own merit
Many people have had Postum poorly
made. 1t is rich and delicious when
boiled ID minutes and served hot, with
enough in the boiler to make it a very
deep seal brown color

RANDOM REMARKS ON
HEALTH AND HYGIENE

The importance of an early formed
habit of complete physical self-control
is urged by a writer in Leslie's Weekly.
Every thoughtful person, he says, can
readily understand how a habit of Civ
ing way to every trivial physical i'm
pulse is almost inevitably formed when
no especial curb is placed upon the gen.
eral manner. In the days when girls
and boys also-were taught to keep
themselves in hand, and allow no mo-
ton that was not necessary, they were
on the watch for every trifling move
ment and it was stopped almost be-
fore 1t began. At an assembly of what
is supposed to be the most highly cul-
tivated class in a great city, a gentle
man was recently annoyed during the
entire evening, because a woman in
front of him, handsome and elegantly
attired, constantly turned and twisted
her head and contorted her counte-
nance. Possibly she was afflicted with
form Of uncomfortable nervousness.
More likely she was simply the VIC
tim of habit, begun in self-oncscious-
ness or embarrassment, continued
through heedlessness of neglect, and
finally eliminating in a personal pe-
culiarity almost impossible to break ND.
Genuine nervous twitchings of the
head and face, are. perhaps, the COM
monest incipient forms of st. Vitus'
dance but can usually be cured If taken
in childhood. Since they are oftan not

you were going to ride her to town yes
terday afternoon, but James tells me
that you walked over to Clifton Cor

why you care so much less for horse

Major Harrington looked with n keen
eye across the table.
Behind the coffee urn Esther blushed
II think l really don't care less" she
said with a trace of hesitation, but
the weather has been so lovely for
walking lately. Don't you want an
other cup of coffee?"
Yes; very fine for walking, horse

wheeling people keep up their external
craze we shall all be run over and

another cup of coffee. my dear, and a
little more cream, please. Here are
two letters for you" The sweet. fresh
air of May morning came into the
stately dining room of Scarlet Oaks
through half open window.
There was silence in the room for a
few minutes while Major Harrington
devoted himself to his paper and Es-
ther read her letters, and then the ma
jor broke out in a characteristic man
ner: "Ah, just as l said; here's an
other bicycle accident, a woman killed
at a railroad crossing. Cad, / think
there ought to be a law against the
things; and as for women riding them,
every one of them ought to be locked
up. Don't you see, it's this sort of
thing I'm protecting you against when

look at that" He handed the paper
across the table.
Esther quickly took in the headlines
and then a paragraph lower down in
the column.

protesting manner, don't you see 1t

man was"
THE woman was an idiot to be on a
wheel at ALL" cried the major, in his
most irascible mood. would she have
been killed if she had been at home?
Nc, sir; let me tell you, a woman never
ought to mount anything that hasn't
an intelligence of its own. If she had
been on horseback the horse would
have known enough not to try to cross
the track. Ellis, tell James to have
Firefly ready at three o'clock this af-
ternoon for Miss Esther. You must
take gallop, my dear. The best cross
country rider in the county ought to
get out oftener than you have been
doing lately"
"Oh, yes, 1 WILL" said Esther, hur-
riedly, "and-wait a minute--you won't
forget that you promised to take me
to the Millington-Irving road race to-
morrow, will you?"
Major Harrington paused near the
door.
I'm not so sure that promised"
"Yes-yes-you did. You promised
both Mr.. Bronson and myself that you
would"
And Mr.. Bronson, what interest has
he in this race?"
"Why--I-I think he will be there
somewhere"
"Ah, well, if Mr.. Bronson is to be
there perhaps I had better be your

Yes, 1 will take you, and hope the
sight will cure You Of your craze for
cycling"
Half an hour later Paul Bronson was
closeted with the major in the library.

the real estate syndicate which Paul

what a beautiful motion Garrett

fetching bicycle costume. Just look
at him. And with that start, too. oh,
I'm sure he's going to win"
Her more experienced companion
laughed. "Wait till you see the finish

who delight to clip in and cut down the
time limit to nothing, and come sailing
down the home stretch as II they had
started out the night before. You see,
the really fast men are all to start yet"
"Out of the way there!" said mar
shall, pushing back the too reckless on
lockers.
AS he uttered the warning the ten
men who had followed the leaders on
the seven-minute limit came down the
course like the wind and dlsapp, ared in
