WINTER VACATIONS
TN GERMANY

The ingenious pan is being adopt
ed by the German Imperial bank OF
offering two extra days for every
week OF vacation to employees who
are willing to postpone their holidays
tin winter. The reason ID that to
give everybody a vacation In summer
too greatly depletes the once force
and puts a long strain on the men
who have to carry the work OF alb
sentees. Those who suffer from the
heat may need fortnight or month
OF respite in the summer, but those
who can get through the heated term
in good physical condition could we'll
afford to wait till winter and draw Il
bonus Of golden days. One day
would carry a German across the
Alps to the VAIN sunshine OF Italy
or the Riviera; very moderate
amount of time will take a New Eng
lander to Bermuda, Florida or the
West Indies. Many a worker who is
planning a little excuFsioaf would BIO
Siad to postpone 1t till winter for the
sake Of four extra days. The plan
may be commended to employers
who find it difficult to provide for
everybody during the recognized va
cation season.-Springf1eld Republi-

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSY men

exercise, piles up most of the duty of
elimination on his kidneys and liver.
The person who benefits most from
swimming is the one who has already
rid his body of waste and who does
rot pile UP much of this poisonous
matter to be disposed of during his
swimming exercise. Profuse perspira-
ton is one of the requisites in any
sort of exercise This workout should
be followed by a bath. about the tenn
perature of lie body, and then by a
rrbdown with a rough towel.
The swimming tank may offer many
allurements, and in its place 1t is very
good. Athletics frequently indulge in
a shower bath following their workout
and then plunge into 4 tank and take
a swim. What they are really seeking
is not more cleanliness or greater
activity, but it is the toning effect of
the cooler water in their bodies. Some
persons find a very disagreeable re-
action, and they experience a shock
instead of toning effects.
The business or profe: sional maa
who has gone without exercise actual
" finds that when he engages in swim
ming as his sole means of physical re-
c, eation he is slipping backward rath-
er than moving forward.
Swimming in this light becomes a
dangerous fad. and the real value o.
the swim has been submerged in the
de teriorating effects following.
