1t is just as necessary to keep your
body functioning regularly during
holiday time as it is during the win
tertime. Unless you eat your meals
at the same hours, get to bed near
the same time each night. you are
going to have beauty trouble.
Some girls think, come vacation
| time, they can Ioll in bed one morn
ing until noon and get up the next
for a swim before breakfast with
little health reaction, If any.
In early youth we possibly can get
away with a hit-or-miss program,
but not as we mature. If you want
to stay long in bed the day after
a late night, you may do so, provid-
ing you have your breakfast at the
usual hour.
All holidays are given us, or taken
by us, for resting. But what a mis-
take a person makes to sleep
throughout his free week or two!
Hours upon hours may be spent in
thorough, satisfying relaxation, but
between those rest periods one must
get some exercise. A good long swim
Is suf1clent, or a walk, If you are
not prone to get into a competitive
outdoor game. And If you are so
completely exhausted that even a
swim or walk is a great effort, YOU
should do stretching calesthenics on
the floor Of your bedroom or out on
the lawn. If your body is not exer-
cised, congestion and irregularity
will occur, and you will feel more
fatigued at the end of your much
planned-for holiday than when YOU
started on it,
All Of us are inclined to snitch
food between meals or spoil our
ordinary appetites by filling up on
sweets or drinks. Somehow when
man has little to do he thinks of
eating. And he eats. He eats at
odd hours foodstuffs he normally
would pass up, and then wonders
why his body rebels! Women are
surprised that their skin becomes
blemished and their spirits droop.
To get the most out of your holi-
day eat your meals the same time
each day-even though the hours
may vary from mealtime at home.
And try to restrict yourself to plenty
OF nourishing foods instead of eating
snacks at all hours.
When you pack your clothes for
vacation fun, resolve to leave worry
at home. Once you start for your
summer playground determine to let
the world go by until the holiday is
over. There may be circumstances.
such as illness in the family, which
will make this seem impossible. But
If everything has been done that
you can do you must reason that it
Is vital for you to renew your
strength and rest your mind! Then
you can face the problem with bet
ter perspective.
Business worries have no place on
holiday. If you cannot leave them
behind, then it is better for you to
stay home and tackle them. For
an uneasy mind will permit no rest
for your body. Postpone your vaca-
ton until your worries have sub
sided.
There is another suggestion I
would like to make, although few
OF you will heed it! Plan holiday
which fits easily within your budget!
1t is far more comforting to feel you
| have little extra" money than to
worry about not having enough to
finance your galivanting. Select
some place where your clothes will
be appropriate and entertainment
not too costly. Give your mind rest
and you will benefit from the
change. Keep 1t uneasy and you will
always regret the plans you madel
