Three Vacation Don'ts.
BY JESSIE ROBERTA.

Vacations are still to como for
many of you. and I'd like to point
out three don'ts II will be well for
you to heed II you are to get the
best results from your playtime.
First-Don't spend too much.
II you are going TO be worried
over money matters, because you
are staying at too expensive a ho-
tel, or because you have run into
debt for fine clothes. or because
you are taking too long a trip, you
are not going 10 get a rest. Make
up your mind exactly what you can
AFFORD for your two or three weeks
OF freedom. and stick to that ssti-
mate There are all sorts of vaca-
tons available, and let IL be wills
pered that for sheer good times and
good health, the expensive and
dressy ones are low In the scale.
Second--Don't overdo In athletics.
Many girl starts in her vacation
with such terrific energy that she
lays herself up in the very begin
ming You can't go from ONCE work
to playing tennis or golf all day, TO
long country tramps, to rowing. or
canoeing. OF swimming without get
ting played out. Begin slowly. do
some lounging. be satisfied with 3
single set of three miles OF walking,
let some one else do the rowing
for you, until you begin TO feel that
you are storing up strength. But
stay out in the open every moment
possible.
Third-Don't sight-see too much.
There isn't anything more OK
hausting than sightseeing, and my
advice is to make a little 60 a long
way. OF course, II you are ON q
trip you want to see the lovely and
interesting things that await you.
But after all, enjoyment is the main
consideration. or should be. You
won't enjoy seeing anything X you
are dead tired, and your vacation
will be one in rame only. Take
things easy.

weeks, called at police headquarters

Prosecutor Keller that her husband de-
serted her last Saturday and had not

asserted she had received from Secre-
tary Melpolder of the Social Service

on him for assistance.
When my husband left the boy and
myself, had only ten cents and there
was no food in the flat" Mrs. Barnes
said When l called upon Secretary

ance he told me that there we're EN-
tirely too many cases of husbands
leaving their wives He asked me
where my home was and / told him
Cincinnati He then said he would
send myself and son to Cincinnati.
Il told him that / would be no bet
ter off there than here, as / had no
relatives there and no prospect of Sc
curing employment. Then he told me
to come back to his office In the after
noon. I did so and found he had left
town ! told one of his assistants that

today and was informed that If l did
not get this job to come back and
something would be done for me. l
didn't get the job and if it had not

agricultural expert, the school board
will be asked to commit itself to the
plan of establishing in the public
schools a complete plan of garden
training within the next three years.
The first and principal aim, the re-

and small fruit foods; that the second
aim to be to train the people to carry
out other avocational home projects
which may have economic value to the
people of the city. and that for those

Every Cold Should
Be Considered Serious

So say the best medical authorities
Unless promptly checked, often they
lead to chronic bronchial and pulmon-
AIRY troubles which may prove fatal.
If your cough or cold has not re-
sponded to treatment-and remember,
medicine should not be solely relied
on-timely use of Eckman's Alternative
may give you relief.
For more than twenty years It has
been benefiting sufferers from these
disorders. 1t is especially indicated
where the system demands lime, for it
contains calcium Chord so combined
as to be easily assimilated by the aver
age persons.
Safe to try-because it contains no
harmful or habit-forming drugs of any
sort whatsoever.
