Second-If you are not in accord
with these recommendations or any
one of them, will you suggest some

ONE MAN SCORES VACATION.

| would be recreant to my duty of
flagellating the vices of the idle and
the shiftless if l fail to say a timely
word about the most virulent form of
summer extravaganza, the so-called
vacation" says a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record.
About this time of year the slothful
malingerer who spends most of his
waking moments is lodging work de-
cides that he is played out by the eff
fort of side-stepping useful labor, and
that he must go away to recuperate.
He lives beyond his means at home,
but he must fly to greater heights of
extravaganza by abiding for ten days
or two weeks where living is twice as
dear as in his own ill-managed estab-
lishment. He seizes upon the vaca-
ton excuse to buy clothes he does
not need; to pay transportation costs
to places where he has no business to
be; to poison his body with unwonted
quantities of tobacco, and often ar
dent spirits, and to scatter money
right and left in seeking foolish di-
versions which tax his health and en-
feeble his mind. To what end? That
he may boast before and after his
orgy of his visit to some abominable
resort.
These so-called vacations are an
absolutely unnecessary and indefen-
sible form of extravaganza. How the
hotel-keepers and other artists who
help to separate the fool from his
money must laugh in their sleeves at
the softness of the poor imbeciles up
on whom they fatten. My business
has taken me twice to Atlantic City
and once to Delaware Water Gap, and
on all three occasions | saw enough
to convince me that nineteen out of
every twenty loafers at these places
were in financial misery and physical
discomfort. All for the sake of false
pretense.
have never taken a vacation in my
life. | employ my annual leave of
absence in remunerative work for a
concern which is always shorthand
ed in summer because of the vacation
and derive physical and
mental refreshment from the con-
seriousness that / have sense enough
to make hay while the sun shines,
The almshouses are full of people
who persuaded themselves in their
active years that being skinned by the
panderers to the vacation vice was
AN annual necessity.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
STITCHES REQUIRED.

AS a result of trouble at Erwin
George McNabb and Oscar Burleson
were seriously cut by Hobart and Ed
Miller. The Miller boys escaped
The cutting is alleged to have been
brought about by McNabb striking
Hobart Miller and knocking from his
hand an ice cream cone. 1t is stated,
however, that when this occurred,
Miller walked away and stated he
did not want any further trouble, but
was later followed up by McNabb and
Burleson. The trouble was renewed
and the Miller boys, to guard and pro-
tect themselves, used their knives
freely. Eighty-four stitches were re-
quired to sew up the wounds made on
McNabb, while sixty-four stitches
were taken in Burleson's wounds.
Burleson is the most seriously
wounded.
