Vacation Dangers.
From the Independent.

rom the lnuepenuent.
So much has been said of the benefit
of outdoor air and of sunlight in recent
years that there is the likelihood at the
present time of many going to that ex-
cess in such matters that is SO charac-
teristic of humanity when it is or a
reaction from one contrasting cou,.se
Of life to another From being a nation
twenty-five years ago that bothered It's
head very little about vacations. and in
which only a few of the wealthisr
classes looked forward to having a
formal vacation at all, we have come TO
be very fortunately people in which
practically everybody expects to take
some vacation. and every one above
the day laborer looks forward to at
least a week or more of continuous
outing. Such a custom should, accord
ing to hygienic principles. assure much
better health for the community and
should secure the laying up Of store
OF vital energy and reSiStive vitality
that could carry people well over the
work of the succeeding year.
1t is not SO sure, however, that this
consummation' SO eminently to be de-
sired is being secured. Not few peo-
pie return from their vacations requir-
ing a rest to enable them even to take
up their regular work. large num-
Der come back from their vacations
with the germs of disease in them,
which sometimes proves serious, and
not infrequently may require period
of convalescence for many months. In
deed, it is only those who take a very
sensible vacation who come back with
that renewed VigOr which is supposed
to be the primary end Of all vacations.
and until a large number OF people re-
alize the dangers that Turk in certain
features of what are now called vaca-
tons this precious institution is likely
to miss it's proper effect and to do quite
as much harm as good. For all those
who go away from home there are two
things that must ever be in mind, and
that were considered SO important in
the long ago that even Hippocrates. the
great father of Greek medicine said as
a warning, when in a strange coun-
try guard against the water and the

to assail the physical makeup of the
confirmed snorer.
1t is quite among the probabilities that
an anti-snorng association will be or
ganized at Fort Washington. The asso-
citation will be strong in numbers If it can
only succeed in securing as members %
per cent of the confirmed snorers who
insist, when they are awake, that they
never did Snore, could not snOre even If
they wanted to, and are willing to produce
physicians certificates to the effect that
snoring is with them utterly impossible.
From one end of the camp to the other
at the hands, or rather the noses, of quite
one-third of the men under canvas
General Staff in the Lead.
Each of the organizations seems to be
doing its best to Guido the other and
establish a midnight reputation. but none
of these organizations has half a chance
with two or three experts who belong to
the general staff. At least one Of these
performers on the nasal organ. holds a
commission, and therefore ought to know
better but the most expert of the trio
are non-commissioned officers.
One of these does not have to lie fiat
on his back and let his lower jaw repose
on his chest before he tunes up; he can
snore in any position, and does 1t with
out provocation or limitation. Last
night all three of the headquarters snor-
ers settled down to business at about the
same ime and came very near being
responsible for serious injuries to officers
and war correspondents who had occa-
sion to move in and out Of qua rters after
taps. The combined snorers made it
practically impossible for a nearby senti-
mel to make himself heard when shouting
mis- challenge. The sentinel would call
out, but the party challenged invariably
failed to hear him. and therefore ran the
risk of being skewered or spitted upon
the bayonet of the aforementioned senti-
mel.
Members of the staff who were inclined
to sit up and await the coming of the
legendary milkman in the early morning
are very proud of their snoring trio. and
last night it was suggested that some one
awake Maj. Henderson so that he might
listen to the music. but the proposition
was vetoed on the ground that if Maj.
Henderson should awake the trio would
necessarily become a duet.
Today Dr. Henderson will probably be
asked to prescribe anti-snoring medi-
cine. If the doctor does this and the
medicine takes effect, and he should by
any chance swallow some of the medi-
cine himself the trumpeter who blows
taps will not be compelled to march all
| the way out to the road before he toots
his little II o'clock toot.
