Evening Chat

Camping up the river these days Is
proving the most popular kind OF
sport. We have altogether now about
twenty-five bungalows along the river
bank. Several are quite palatial having
all home conveniences plus the airy
| Wilderness and space Of life in the
woods. Two-thirdS Of them are renta'
ble-and from the beginning OF warm
weather until fall there is constant
succession OF families moving in and
moving out with much laughter and
gayety.
Some Of the camps consist solely OF
three bare board-walled rooms furnish
ed with cots, table and chairs. Mos!
OF them have gas, But gay crowd
soon transforms the place. Their We
randas are the pleasantest places in
the world,-lounging lazily there, eyes
wandering to the river cleaning IN the
sun and from the river to opposite billy
bank OF purple shadows, yellow golden
rod and dense foliage, there steals over
one a great contentment.
On Sundays the camps are full OF
visitors; everyone longs for swim in
the river these days-and hundreds
take advantage Of the train service
which lands them early and allows
them to stay late. An immense amount
of food is consumed on these jaunts
but by the look OF the limp children
anu general emptiness of things at the
close Of the day, everyone has had a
glorious time.

HEALTH HINTS

A breeze feels cool and refreshing

Every normal adult requires about
$500 cubic feet Of air per hour Given
this amount there is no reason why
one should suffer unduly from the
heat.
Those engaged in active labor or in

Many people are prejudiced against
air in motion. In spite of this common
belief science knows that only con.
slant draft of cold air, such as will
chill the skin, is to be avoided,
In fact, a gentle draft is one Of the
best friends the seeker after health
can have.
Even ventilated air that has been
set in motion again can be breathed
by the lungs with benefit to the en-
tire system. A lack of motion affects
unfavorably the circulation Of
the blood beneath the skin and thus
prevents normal evaporation and loss
