CALL Of THE OPEN

NATURE RESTORES VITALITY

There is no truth more firmly es-
tablished than that an annual relaXa-
tion period of a few days or a few
weeks Is necessary to the physical
and mental welfare of the individual
who labors indoors. and in such mental
and physical recupcration there nat
urally follows moral uplift and soul
inspiration whose psychological in
fluence makes for greater efficiency in
all OF the duties pertaining to the
various activities of the individual.
Nature has made provision for these
periods Of relaxation for the individual
who labors in the open in the pursuits
OF agriculture by slackening the work
necessary to the cultivation and har-
vcsting of the crops that reward his
labor, but for the man who pursues
his strenuous work in counting room
and factory the needed regeneration
must come through relaxation found
in a change of scene and the throwing
off Of business careS-theSc, under the
Dromptings Of nature, feel the call OF
