Hackett. M. D. Member Goigas Memorial Institute (Written for United Press) Chicago, May 17—(United Press)— In recent years many fine open camps have been established where school gitls may go for the summer vacation Theie they have exercise Under the proper supervision, hiking tennis dancing swimming, rowing and regular dr ill. They have wholesome meals at regular hours and long nights of rest in the open. The whole idea is splendid and without knowing it the gins arej practicing the soundest kind of pre-. ventive medicine. And now the same opportunities are open to business women who can profit just as much. Instructors at the camp help the' young wcnien get the most out of their vacations. Girls who have had no previous instruction in the light ways oL living can leai n enough in a short time about diet the value of fresh air and simple exercise to carry them through another year's haul woik and keep them fit until next vacation. These open ait camps are bound to raise the standard of health, happiness, and efficiency among young women, and some day s-on 1 hope to see the program extended to include the housewives and mothers. The young girl in high school needs firmer discipline regarding her food, her clothing, and her exercise. She is apt to be peevish. Her appetite is ptor and her posture is bad. I, When she leaves school she takes a position ih an office, goes to work with | next to nothing for breakfast takes a I meager lunch «*f ill chosen food, and comes home at night all tired out. I She marries and the added stiain of childbearing gives her muscles no time I to improve. Her night’s lest is broken 1 with attending to babies. She has no resources to meet the -most trying period cf her life. [ She must see to it that she herself gels rest, exercise, fresh air, nutritious food if she is going to save the little family from disaster. So summer camps for wives and mothers as well as girls are excellent things. They build healthier bodies and teach how they may be maintain ed. '. — - CHICAGO return 53.50 via Erie R ailroad SUNDAY.
