ARE YOU MOUNTAIN BoUNDe
Some of These suggestions May De oi

Use.
Those who select the mountains as the
place of spending their summer should be
the malarious. and nearly all city people
are that. though few enough of them real
ize It,
When they reach their hotel and are
comfortably settled for more or less pro-
ionged stay they should not imagine that
all they must do is to sit comfortably down
and let nature do the rest. If they wish to
be benefited by their outing they obvious
iy must observe reasonable precautions
and take proper exercise. otherwise they
migh Just as well remain at home.
One thing that the malarious should
avoid. says. a writer in the "Buffaio
Times" and that Is sitting in the open
air after O'CLOCK in the afternoon.
In the morning it is best for the delicate
man. woman, or child not to go out until
after Z a. M Then they should remain
out as long as possible, OF course going in
before the dew begins TO fall When the
dew falls there is danger of taking a chill
and with that comes many consequential
ills.
morning walk through the woods is
good thing for those strong enough to
stand it. Meals should be taken regularly
and the remainder of the time should be
spent outdoors.
Always have some bright. light reading
or recreation ready at hand: for those
whose minds are occupied will never think
of their loneliness.
II there is a lake convenient to the
place where you are stopping, remember
that rowing is a good exercise, it expands
rhe chest and strengthens the muscles. One
should not forget, however that on the
water the dangers from sunburn are great
how
set is finding out that even the most gen.
erously proportioned hats are not sufficient
protection for the complexion and are re-
turning to a modified form of the old
fashioned sunbonnet. Before going out a
little retiring cream should be applied to
the skin If there is any care for the COM
plexion- This will prevent the skin from
peelfng OF as it sometimes will do after
prolonged exposure to strong sun. The
preparation will be most effective means
OF warding on tan. After the retiring
cream has been rubbed on put over 1t a
little pure rice powder, which is an ex-
eellent nom conductor of light and heat
The greater quietness and freedom from
that excitement essential in hotel add
to the benefits otherwise to be derived
from the location. Moreover, there is no
questional that personal magnetism exer-
cises a Pr erful influence over the per-
sonaiities- the weift1e and the health OF
many persons; particularly of those of a
low vitality. the stronger, more self-asser-
tive personality preys on the weaker, in as
subtle and harmful a way as the tabled
vampire. There are people who are great,
strong magnetic batteries that are con-
stantly and unconsciously on their own
part drawing on the negative magnetism
or vitality of those with whom they come
In contact. In a hotel where al sorts of
conflicting magnetisms are gathered to-
gether is no place for an invalid who IS
in marvellous degree sensitive to all
those subtle psychological and physiologi-
cal phenomena which the robust are easily
able to resist or ignore. The hustle and
excitement of the hotel, together with the
many antagonistic influences that are en-
eountered by those who, come in contact
with the guests, make the public hosteIry
the last place in the world that should be
sought by sensitive and ailing vacation
seeker.
