A duty all people: owe themselves.
that they may live long and prosper,
is to take certain amount of recrea-
tion. Brain workers especially owe
this to themselves. Their WORK is la
borious and monotonous, and they
should seek some means to have q
change f,r a week or two at least, in
some manner which is entirely differ
ent to what they see around them.
The least expensive and most enjoyable
we can recommend is a water trip.
