SAYS GET BACK TO YOUTH
Advice Of Physical Director to Tired
5uslress Men About TO Take Va
cation Worth Needing.

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read
dime novels, smoke cornsilk cigarettes
and act like kids again, by DIR. Louis
r. Wellsmiller. physical director of the
West Side Y. M. c. A. of New York.
His prescription for the rejuvenation
of businessmen members of the as
ISOLATION has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness, and be kid again
wholesome. fun-loving, boisterous
dime-novel-reading kid-during your
vacation. Many of you men, when
youngsters, used to think 1t great fun
to sneak out behind the barn, with a
cigarette made of cornsilk and brown
wrapping paper. 1t won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger of con-
tracing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading. but take the BIZ
BILE along of course. Many great men
read Nick Carter, Jesse James and
like writings for relaxation. Most OF
you men have come to New York and
have made good. Help yourselves to
make good again next winter by be-
ing boy on your vacation"
