WAY TO REST IS TO LOAF. A lpt of people who are looking forward with considerable glee to coming vacations will return more tired than they went away. This is not a mere idle observa tion, but the precise deduction from scientific data by Dr. Fred erick S. Lee, "fatigue specialist" of Columbia University. Leaving out the technical de tails about nerve exhaustion, oxy gen and carbohydrates, fatigue substances and a number of other things we never heard of, Dr. Lee declares that you cannot rest by working, even if the work is dif ferent from what you are accus tomed to. Anything that tires the body tires the mind, and vice versa; yet thousands of exhausted mental workers will seek rest in physical exercise wholly strange to their usual habits. They will merelygo from "comfort of their homes to the acute distress of their vaca-r tjpns," says Dr. Lee, How, then, is a fellow to rest? Vpy just resting," says our expert fiviser. Simply don't work either your muscles or your mind. Take tteasy. Loaf, idle, do nothing! In pther words,' be a "weary Willie." f Did He Mean It? In Indiana a man wanting a wedding license is required to tell if he has been married before and if so what has become of his first wife. A Pike-co. man filled in that space this way: . Married before? "Yes." Where's first wife? "Gone to the grate beyond." my man, you look good ano msj7 Husky, i umu. just appoint you j " ( & myssist4nt sergeant 1 i & PRAISE.
