The Golf Links and Tennis
 Courts Are Ready

At Battle Creek being happy is part of the business of getting well. All the good outdoor games are played there and played as they ought to be- The tennis courts and golf links are admirably kept.
 The unique feature of the outdoor sports at Battle Creek is that they are not only for the proficient and the athletic.
 The men and women who need outdoor sports most are those who have never learned to play or who have forgotten how to do it.
 Here the true spirit of the game takes hold of them They become ambitious to play more skilfuly. In the exercise of physical effort they forget how they feel until some day in noticing an improved swim ming stroke or swifter tennis service, they find that they have achieved also stronger muscles and sense of health and well being.
 At this season thousands of men and women are looking forward to the summer vacation as a sonrce of definite physical benefit They must not only have good time but they must make the vacation show profit in health regained and strength ac cumulated.
 At Battle Greek they are assisted in this effort bv physicians of wide experience in the use of the great physiological mems of health--exercise diet and bathsand who have at their disposal the most per- feet facilities in the world for this kind of treatment
