! weather. mo Matter 1t 1t Does Ram
Get Out and WaIow in All Outdoors
It's Good for You. ~
One Of the latest fads, and a pretty
good one, too is to be perfectly contented
with the weather You no longer have
any particular preference for blue skies,
balmy air and sunshine. If it rains or
drizzles you revel in it and talk Of tho
souls love for gray emotions and gray
tones, or words to that effect If it is
chilly and damp, with a cutting wind,
you talk of the strength arising from ply
steal suffering or the tonic of personal
discomfort. The very latest physician is
helping all this along by an advocacy of
rain baths, damp clothes in damp weather
and the gradual elimination of such con-
veniences as umbrellas, stormcoats and
even roofs.
The idea is simple. Go out and get
acquainted with the trees and see how the
birds and toads love the damp and the
drizzle You will discover also that it Is
the person who wears rubbers and who is
afraid of dampening his feet who gets out
Of touch with the earths magnetic cur
rents and SO slowly withers, blows hence
and Is seen no more. ~ 1... a.--
Get out and walow in all outdoors! Don't
be afraid to get your petals wet. If the
rose can stand it you ought to. 'Holler"
once or twice. It's good for you. Let
the bug crawl on your collar, if you are
sunken enough to wear one, and the hun
dred Legged caterpillar too. Be little
brother to the mosquito and join in the
lay Of the umpty- wildly bird at dawn.
f. S.-We write this from our nice,
comfortable parlOr with horsehair furni-
ture In it, where we intend to stay when
| it rains-and frequently when 1t doesn't.
Our rubbers are resting quietly in the hall
and our 9Sc umbrella is reposing In it's
rack. We are quite at peace with nature,
even In the quiet parlor-and the bugs
are outside. But don't tell this!
If anybody. asks you where you think
the fair should be held this fall, don't bite
on it. If you do the fellow replies.
