Mothers yacasfou.-Whfle I nsver expected to know all ihe hardships rert hing to the most worth whI'e jct on earth, yet I believe that -he obscrv ation has taught me that there Is a job known to 'iur.n or animal life that contains greater joys or great CT sorrows, more p1easuCs ar !rore suffr ring, both phys.cI eud mental.
 I believe that thore Is not more strenuous job known to a civilized be;rg and but . few requiring greater powers of endura 10.
 Nearly all business men and wnrnep recognize the necessity and value of a vrcation even If cnly |:.r week anI in some casns -he business man thinks that if he takes his wife and chilcI en along. he is giving to them also a much needed rest, but ia her
 The children, 1t is true. are for him 0 much needed tonic while caring Ter them he simply cann,t worry about busIL ess They give hin. no time ard ha is smarter bus ness man than have ever known if he can answer correctly all the questions that a couple of live wire co:ldren are likely to ask daily. For the mothe:- it IS a change of scenery. the same daily care of the children minus the usuaS cook ing and ddshwashing. and far. it
  CT care to be exercised for the chill dren than when they arc at home and as a matter of fact when she returns home at the end of two weeks she will give a great tired sigh of re- lief and is quite likely to exclaim Never again." Of course, the husband naturally is disappointed and consid- CTS her unappreciative and ell that. but if he only realized that tue dear Ill from him and the children! He should have taken the children back with him to the farm where he had so uuch fun when he was a boy, or if he is 6 farmer, to some summer resort where he can take them rowing, fish ing, swimming or sight seeing daily; while mother should. if business mans wife go to some of her own people. preferably in the country where it is to be understood that there is to be no entertaining. no cares. nothing to do bVt sirnp:y rest, wander in the fields, pick flow CTS, eat fruit. fresh vegetables. milk, eggs etc, and no need to dress elaborate ly for dinner If she is a farmers wife, she should visit a popular summer resort or some city relative
 In any event, the change should be complete During the entire vacation the newness and difference of sur rounding should fully occupy tho mind and body as to cause a complete forgetfullness of the old worries. cares and daily grind of earning bread and butter.
 When such a vacation is taken and 1t should not be far away, the result will be a perfect rest and return to work with a zest that will bring re- suits. When the place selected for the vacation is more than a few hours away the long railroad trip is liable to undo the entire benefit of the trip and should therefore be avoided
 To my mind an ideal vacation would be a big touring car with a trailer to carry baggage, a tent and cook l ing outfit, then put me and my five ! sons and grandson in and head for the | woods and lakes of the north.
 Yes, yes. I know. Some of you live | right on the road and you want me to | see Pohn's sore toe and that other | case that you wrote me about, bu, | nothing doing" For two weeks we | forget that there Is the least sickness | and suffering in the world, and the dear mother knows her babies, (they are always babies to her), are all right because they are with their father and she will not worry in the least, while she takes a rest wherever she most desired.
 That is my ideal vacation. Here Is the reality: Next week am to ad- dress the great annual meeting of the Allied Medical Associations of Amer ica at the Pennslyvania Hotel in New York City, and then for four days and part of the nights I will listen to other doctors, who will tell of their successes and the best methods of treating the ailments of suffering hu- manity. My subject is "A Pointer on Diagnosis" because I believe that a correct diagnosis is the first and most important thing in the care and treat- ment of the sick. expect to learn many things that will be of ser vice to you and in the course of time my son. David, expects to serve your children even as serve you.
