How to Prepare For Its Enjoyment
In n Sensible Manner.


1t is always well to get into first
class physical condition before you I'M
dertake an ocean journey. for you are
sure to tax your strength daily as far
as It will go, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune. Your family physi-
clan can give you some safe, simple
remedies fitted TO your constitution,
which you can take while abroad for
any of the ordinary ailments TO which
your individual flesh is heir, thus spar
ing you many an uncomfortable mo-
ment as well as the necessity of call
ing In a strange practitioner. How
ever good this doctor is, he may not
Immediately know how best to treat
you.
The safest plan is not to take any
thing which your doctor does not neart-
lily indorse, to avoid sweets, uncOoked
fruit and all things not likely to agree
with you. When nauseated, assume
a recumbent attitude and remain as
quiet as possible Take only hot and
easily assimilated food and have a hot
water bag, which you can place either
at your feet or stomach. Heat viii
soothe a spasm of seasickIress when all
other methods fail. Spend as much
time as possible on deck.
All travellers Will find 1t convenient
to have q piece of oiled silk, oilcloth
or even waterproof cloth, if not bag,
wherein TO wrap wet sponges and tow
els. Besides all the usual toilet arti-
cles, travellers are expected to provide
their own soap. This is conveniently
carried in the form of soap leaves. Be
sure to have a celluloid case for your
toothbrush bristles.
A Tat steamer trunk to be left at the
steamer Office until your return is de-
sirable This win contain your steam
er rug and small pillow anyhow and
probably most of your steamer outfit
A man should have on the steamer one
medium weight travelling suit of good
make able to withstand weather.
Underwear of extra thickness viii
make this suit warm enough for cold
ocean days, while couple of suits OF
gauze underwear win adapt 1t to tenn
perate and even moderately hot days.
An extra SUIT for emergencies, dress
clothes, as need for them Is likely to
arise; macintosh or ralncoat, which
can answer for overcoat on cold days
and even q dressing gown on pinch,
make the bulk of the impedlmenta.
A felt hat Of comfortable make and
shape and travelling cap answer ev-
cry purpose as headgear for the aver
age tourist Most travellers, male and
female, viii find 1t wise TO take the
least possible amount Of clothing with
them. The only article of which both
sexes should have a-plenty at the start
Is footwear, which should be new, yet
thoroughly broken in. Remember you
are 20 walk many a mile and stand
many an hour. Low heels, rubber pre-
ferred, are an assistance, and In most
cases high necked" shoes are better
than the "decollete" variety. Keep
your ankles warm on shipboard
Ladies' should set out with one tailor
made skirt and jacket, as plain as pos
sible, Of d material which will shed
the rain and dust and stand the sun.
These should be so Constructed that
you can get in and out of them without
aid from anybody else. Belt, collar and
tie should be securely fastened to shirt
waist and Jacket, so that they cannot
be mislaid even in an emergency.
