bling at food because 1t Is meal time.
 "A great many people are forced to take their vacations. when they are not specially in need of them, and the two weeks or more do less good than a few days would if taken at the right time. Ordinarily an afternoon once a week will tide man over the whole summer r if he can take the holiday just when needs 1t. It's on the same principle when he goes to bed some nighgts ear Her than others because he is tired and needs the extra amount of rest.
 There Is no reason for taking a va cation by rule, and there are no set rules to give to promote the enjoyment of one; but certain suggestions can be offered that will show people how to make the most of any outing they are fortunate enough to get"

pr. schrady's Dictum.

There are so many things to do and to avoid doing in order to make the
 summer outing not only euJoyaole put profitable" said Dr. George +. Schrady. that it may seem trite' 10 go over
 +ham again. Nevertheless. they have
 eyervthing to do with ones peace of r,ind aas bodily comfort during try inc season.
 Change of scene and air are the
 foundation on which to build ones summer outing. If you are living near the seashore. then move to the noun tains, and vice versa. It is always bet ter on general principles to separate yourself from all ordinary occupations.
 Now a farm house where you can get plenty of fresh eggs and milk sounds very attractive to the man or woman shut up In the ctiy, but, all things being equal, it Is much better to have a comfortable bed than all the dairy products you can eat. You go away to rest. and unless you have q good place to sleep in you will find 1t
 more profitable to stay at home.
 Many a person goes off to an expcn-
 sive hotel where he has to put up with
 all sorts of inconveniences, and yet he coaxes himself into believing that he
 is having a good time. To that man I
 should say-don't, don't go. Think of ordinary home comforts first of all and insist upon having them.
 Don't Understand the City Man. '. Country people don't understand what a city man wants. as a rule. I recollect an old farmer telling me of
 some city fellows coming out to his place to fish. They brought their rods,
 baskets and all the up-to-date para phernalia for fishing and then when | they got to the bank of the stream they lay on the grass, took long breaths -'puffed like porpoises,' the farmer said-and never paid the least atten- | tion to their lines.
 "This disgusted the old farmer He thought they had come out to catch fish and they should have set about doing | 1t. Now the farmer didn't understand that these men were enjoying them selves in the way they liked best and that the fish poles were only an excuse to get out into the open country. where they would feel free and comfortable. The real secret of vacation Is to drop the harness. to slip the halter and. like a horse. caper about the pas
 tGre to your hearts content. This all l ways does a horse good. and why shouldn't 1t benefit man?

Summer Sickness
Can He Avoided by All Who Take Moz Iey's Lemon Elixir, the
 Ideal Laxative.

Typhoid fever and other dangerous ailments go prevalent In summer can be avoided by taking the necessary precautions. The germs of these dis eases often lie dormant in the system for months. and are harmless as long as the system can resist them. A tor Did liver, constipation. biliousness. and other internal irregularities open the way for ettack, and a serious spell of sickness is the result.
 Mozley's Lemon Elixir is the most effective and pleasantest laxative ever made It acts gently. with no unplea j. ant effects and thoroughly clcanses the system of all impurities and accumu- lations. It promptly cures biliousness. constipation. indigestion, collie. sour stomach. dizziness, sick headache. etc. and tones up and strengthens the sys- tenn so as to enable 1t to resist all germ diseases.

ing; reading for delight, but not fov production. There is q vast difeerencc between the two kinds of reading One Is work while the other is play. and the change from serious study to dipping | into books for the mere pleasure of them is a mental recreation of the best
 kind.
 "Every summer afternoon during the
 week play golf from three until six This gives me the change I need from tho morning entertainment and puts
 me in excellent condition every day. Golf is a good means to get nearer to nature, and that is what we are all in need of.
 "A scarlet tanager. a blue jay--any bird-is mans good friend, and the more he knows about these birds the better off he will be in mind and soul. One of the proofs that we are improv- ing in this direction. educating our minds and souls. is the fact that more and more books on nature are being published each year.
 This going away to summer hotel for the social advantages offered Is to
 be discouraged. Some mothers choose a summer home or boarding house on
 account of the people to he met and the dances to be enjoyed. They insist upon continuing the social season through the summer. when the thing they are most in need of is rest from this gaye- ty They had better have their daugh- ters pack their trunks with good books than with variety of 4frocks.
 ''The ideal summer vacation Is get ting to some beautiful spot untouched by the great army of society. who find their greatest enjoyment ip dressing and going about.

When vacation time rolls around all bensible men and women put the ques- tion to themselves. What shall we do and what shall we leave undone in or der to get the greatest good and pleas nre out of our holiday"
 There are hosts of dos and don'ts that anybody ought to know enough to observe without being told. but some are thoughtless and others are careless, while not few are ignorant of the es- sentials of really healthful, happy and beneficial vacation.
 For instance. there is the woman who goes to a seaside hotel where she knows she will find a coterie of her friends. and there. in crowded quarters, which are frequently uncomfortable. she will continue the round of gayeties which ended in the city. She thinks she is having a delightful time. when she is really putting up with inconve- niences that would be unbearable in town. This woman has missed the se- cret of a successful and happy vaca- tion.
 There is the young woman who stops her labors for a comparatively limited holiday, and instead of going to a spot that is just the place to give her what she is most in need of mentally and physically she goes about sightseeing with a vim that soon reduces her to a condition from which she will not re- cover in twice her vacation time. This woman fails, too. to find the key to the vacation puzzle.
 Besides the dos and don'ts that are here enumerated there are many little ones that are apt to be overlooked, yet their doing and avoidance are impor- tant in the relation they bear to health, pleasure and comfort. For the benefit of any one contemplating a vacation and his name is legion-there are here given some valuable hints that cover the main points of the dos and don'ts. the observance of which will insure the very best and most profitable kind of a summer.

pr. sIIcer,a Advice.

Change, absolute change, is what ev- cry person needs during the summe er vacation" remarked Dr. Thomas R. Slicer. of All Souls Church, Do some thing different from what you have been doing all the winter. Take this time to make up whatever you find yourself lacking in. In my own case. sleep is what I need most at tho end of the season of work. and the first thing I do before my real vacation be- gins is to take ten days or more in the Adirondacks, where I can sleep when ever and as long as like. don't do much else while I'm there, except fish a little when I'm awake. It's because I feel that great need Of rest that I can enoy it this way. After a while catch up and am then able to take my regulay vacation in the fashion of others
 Every man or woman who has his days filled during the winter. and nights. too. for that matter. falls be- hind in some way. IL may not always be with sleep. though that is the gene- ral case: it may be in reading or phys ical recreation. so he takes the sum mer vacation time to bring himself up to the standard.
 Now. when I leave the city for the summer I have two months of rest and spend that time in a manner that seems most profitable to me. The morn ings, from nine till one. are devoted tn little study and good deal of read

well as mental strain, and this is par ticularly the case if the part is a heavy, emotional one. Consequently n man
 must be in fine physical condition to stand the strain imposed by his work and the fact that his hours of sleeping
 and eating are likely to be quite ir-
 regular adds to the strain which his
 physical powers will be called upon to endure. ITO put ones self. then, in the very
 best physical condition is, 1t seems to
 me, quite the most important thing for
 an actor or anybody to do upon his va cation. How to do this Is of course, a question which only the individual pref
 erences of the player or person can de-
 eide.
 Playing golf. riding horseback. sail ing. swimming, any of the thousand and one sports of the season will do the
 work. and the player may choose
 whichever affords him the greatest pleasure. As for preparing ones self during vacation for the following sea | sons work by hard study. do not be- | lieve in that idea at all.
 As said before, the regular theatri- cal season gives a man quite all the | playing he should do. and getting all | the meaning and emotion out of each l performance of ones bills is quite enough for the mind.
 ITO man of nervous ambitious tenn hperament who will worry and fret If he cannot in some way have a connecting 1 link between himself and the theatre, | 1t might be good idea for him to de-
 vote an hour a day to thought regard i ing the role he Is to play next year. A | true conception of a part is the ground
 work for playing a successful role. If one reads the daily newspapers,
 the current magazines and perhaps a
 few of the best novels of the moment
 dresses easily and comfortably so that
 he does not have to think whether he
 is acting and living up to the dignity of his clothes or not, and takes plenty of
 exercise in the open air. think he will

W. P. Thompson's View.

Prescribing a vacation which will produce the most beneficial results is like prescribing for a man who Is sick without knowing anything about the conditions and circumstances of his illness or the patients condition or habits" said MT. William H. Thomp- son. whose clever acting has afforded pleasant holidays for many.
 Speaking in a general sense, how evcr and judging from my own per sonal inclination. I should say that the best way for an actor or actress to obtain beneficial results from a va cation would be for them to get away from New York and forget as quickly and thoroughly as they possibly can the whole atmosphere and environ ment of the stage.
 The actor who conscientiously plays his part really lives in 1t. That is to say that practically out of forty weeks iu' the year he spends at least one-half of his waking hours living in an atmos- phere imbued with ideas and feelings and excited by circumstances and condi- tions which make his life and his exist ence unnatural. He moves at a much more rapid pace than the ordinary man in business and professional life.
 Although 1t may seem easy to the people who sit out in front and watch the actors on the stage. portraying any role whatsoever Is a severe physical as

the visitations of nocturnal
maurauders. Complaint has Of
ten been made that wood stealing
has been carried on, but up to to-
day little notice has been taken
of the diminishing wood piles.
Today, however, l.. 0. Solberg,
proprietor Of a shoe shop on
Beltrami avenue, publishes a
notice in another column of the
Pioneer, in which he gives due
warning to certain residents of

is again molested he will GER

TALK OF BEMIDJI
Northern League Promoters Are
Anxious to Take in Several
New Towns in Circuit.

The gentlemen interested in
the Northern League are agita
ting a scheme to take in several
new towns in that league next
season and Bemidji has been
mentioned as a likely town for
this circuit. 1t is thought that
with the addition of Brainerd,
St. Cloud and Bemidji, dropping
Crookston and Superior the
league would be a much better
one. Then too, it is proposed to
cut the salary limit down to
about $3.50 so that it would make
it better for all managers in the
matter Of salaries. Various
papers are authority for the
statement that Brainerd is an
applicant for a place in the league
but so far as known locally there
is no one who has such aspira-
tiOnS.
