A Plan for Health.

A novel scheme to keep employees in
the open air Is being tried by shoe
manufacturing company of Bingham
ton. N. Y. Workmen will be encour-
aged to take up the game Of golf on a
privately owned course adjoining the
factory. Greens fees will be twenty-five
cents. clubs will sell at dollar apiece.
golf balls at fifteen cents and free golf
shoes will be given to every one desir-
ing to play. Special golf costumes will
be frowned upon. in order that the
game may be made as inexpensive as
possible II Is hoped by the owners
that the course can be maintained by
the nominal charge for equipment.
Golf Is undoubtedly a healthful ex-
ercise. and II the time that is necessary
to play a round does not destroy the
working schedule at the factory. the
experiment should prove success.
There is nothing like pure outside air
and plenty Of sun to promote healthy
body, and the employees OF the shoe
factory should be grateful for the op-
portunity which is being given them
The results OF this plan will be inter-
esting.
