Bodies made vigorous by rest and
outdoor living now are much less
apt to fall victim to colds, pneumo-
mia. influenza. or other diseases
next winter because resistance will
have been built up.
The military authorities agree
that vacations from regular duties
are a help to morale. so they give
furloughs to the men in uniform.
Vacations are needed by civilians
as well. But they should be planned
to contribute to both the physical
and mental well-being of the per-
sons taking them.
The State Board of Health stress
es that dissipation and Overindul-
gence on a holiday returns one to
the job without the strenth TO do
ones share in the war effort.
