HERE’S THE WAY TO BE HAPPY ON YOUR VACATION , —= Flax Seeds, Soda, Ammonia Take ’EnC Along. DON’T PLAY WITH BEES

BY FREDERIC .1. ItASKIX. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Being carefree, bappy, and healthy while on a varation Is largely a matter of observing a few rules,' sonr£ of them very old ones. The vacationist is an adventurer in the sense that be leaves his native element lor entirely different surroundings. The danger is that in his eagerness to 'make himself at home he often gets into trouble. - Therefore the rules ar needed for reference. the first rule for vacationists is to travel light. Many an able-bodied, optimistic member of society has contracted cramps, a grouch and permanent oae-sidedness from being tied down to a collection of luggage that would make -a doughboy loaded for marching look mitrammeled by comparison. —^ A several months’ stay at the beach may require more baggage than a tootbbruth and an extra necktq* but for persons who expect to be hopping on and off trains or boats every unnecessary ounce is a bother. The person who travels by rail Is advised to equip himself with a dozen flax seed?. So long as trains are run by coal, and cinders are produced in sizes small enough to sift through window screens, riding on a train will We attended bieye casualties. Flax seeds are t£e recognized, infallible remedy for cinder'. One or two seeds are inserted into the *ye and the seed softens and becomes 1 glutinous. As It floats about in the eye in this state it takes up all foreign mat- j ter. and it ran be removed in a couple ! c-f minutes. r' If you travel alone, a pocket, looking, glass should be a part of the cinder equipment. MANY PEOPLE FEAR SNAKES. Os the live things that make vacations ’ hazardous the most universally feared is the snake. In the United States people seldom run across any venomous kinds except an occasional copperhead, rattler, water moccasin, or coral sn3ke. The black snake, which is sometimes regarded as dangerous, is known to be harmless. Another mistaken idea is that whisky is good for snake bite. In some places a real snake bite is good for a “prescription.” But the Smithsonian snake expert holds that whisky is not a remedy. The old reliable first aid treatment for ! snake bite is to have someone suck the venom and spit it out. As the poison is not transferable in this way there Is no danger unless the person sucking the poison has an open j sore in his luoutb. v The best general advice about snakes is to watch out for them when walking In underbrush or tall grass, and not to ‘ Jnake friends with any snake unless you Ire sure you understand his disposition. ; I A more common pest than the snake is the mosquito. * I This übiquitous and voracious insect I fcuccumbs most readily to the scent of pennyroyal. He also flees from the fumes of cotnonella, punk, and to some extent, from tobacco smoke.

If a lusty bloodhunter gets past one of these fume barrages and inserts his proboscis into you, a scratching spell can be averted by quick treatment with ammonia water to take out the sting. Vacation in a mosquJlo summer resort can be rendered more reposeful if you keep with you a tiny bottle of regular household ammonia with a rubber cork. According to traditions, bees and hornets are unlike mosquitoes, in that they do not make the tirst advances—if you get stung tt is your own fault. This theory is incorrect. We have seen a man who was peacefully sleeping in a hammock suddenly assaulted by a bee for po reason at all. And we remember a lunch party in the woods that broke up hastily because one guest took a small bee into her mouth along with a bite of salad. Such incidents are unusual, but It is well to b prepared for them. STING RESPONDS lO PLAIN SODA. A. bee sting responds quickly to baking soda slightly moistened with water to make it stick. Or. lacking this, a plaster of mud win reduce the swelling and pain. If the sting is left in the skin it Bkould be removed first of all. Besides the creatures mentioned, the vacationists may have to rope with biggers, bulls, sand fleas, tarrantulas. •>: man-eating sharks. \ In dealing with any of these enemies "e can only say that it Is well to uepend on inspiration and a speed v retreat. So much for lire encmie*. . After mosqwitoes. sunburn is the roost frequent worry which spoils the comfort necessary to a real rest. ffc the country the best way to avoid the agonies of peeling la to keep out of the sun during the hot part of the day. At the beach you have to go a step farther and look out for the water when the sun is under a cloud. To go swimming when the atmosphere is in this hazy condition is to invite the most uncomfortable attack of sunburn possible—unless your skin is hardened to the sun. Even when riding in a small covered hfcoat on such a day, you must watch out ■jt the glare reflected from the bottom ■if the boat* f Sunburn is relieved by cold cream, or if that fails, by a very weak salt solution. * Xot more than a teaspoonful of salt should be used to a pint of water. Closely akin to sunburn in unsightliness and the misery of the victim Is poison Ivy. 1 he poisonous oak and ivy leaves nrq not difficult to rcc o gnszc. and anr one not familiar with them should ‘have I hem pointed out. The leaves of both are arranged in clusters 6f three on a stem. Some persons are Tws vulnerable to the poison than others, but it is always a safe step to wash the bands and face thoroughly with soap after handling plants in a wood or meadow. The poison takes the form of a rash with blisters. There are numerous treatments, ons of the best known being o bathe the exposed parts in salt water. "’ashing the o r other affected surface in gasoline two nr three times day is also known to lessen the irri [ration. t\The public health service says that the Best important things to look out for a place for a vacation are health and comfort. The advantages of a convenient dance hall and tennis courts fade into insignificance if rooems are not screened, if the kitchen is dirty, sanitary conditions are bad, or if the water supply is net pure. Any one of these conditions may 'make n vacation a bad Investment instead of •i good one. Pure water is extremely vital. The Chicago public health service keeps e nhand small tablets of hypoehloride.of lime which can be used quickly to purify a small amount of water Just as the city supply isjreated. The tablets are furnished to people of j

The guest at a eummor resort cottage is more or less at the mercy of his landlady as regards rations. He can only remember that fresh fruit and vegetables are the best hot weather food, and eat along those Ilnei as far as the boarding house bill of fare permits. Food for camping is too complex a subject to be detailed here, but heat producing diet, such as meat and atarchy articles, should be avoided as far as possibie. As for the picni-’ excursionists, they usually forego mixing rrVbs apri ice cream, but this is about the only ronces slpn they make to their stomachs The picnic lunch is safest when it does not offer to# great a variety. A salad, light sanwwiches, lemonade, milk, fruit and possibly cake or ice cream are the best of the summer picnic selections. It is "a matter of safety first to forego sampling six kinds of sandwiches and three slices of gooey cake. in fact, safety first is the moral of every rule mentioned in this piece.

CROWDS BESIEGE PONZFS OFFICE Former Publicity Man of ‘Money King’ Starts Run.

BO.SIVON, Aug. 2.—Apparently alarmed by the published charge that Charles Ponzi was insolvent, hundreds of note holders besieged his offices today demanding 'their money back. The throng began to gather early and by 9 o’clock the line extended to Court Square, with a squad of police officer* keeping order. While the office did not open up for payments until after 9 o’clock the employes who were on hand expressed the greatest confidence in their employer and attempted to Instill this confidence into \ the crowd. Charges that Ponzi is "imbalanced on one subject, is hopelessly Insolvent, has i not sufficient funds to mt his notes. : and has sent or received no money from Europe recently,” were vigorously denied by' Ponzi. The charges, contained in a copyright article in a morning newspaper, were written by William n. McMasters. who has been employed as a publicity man by Ponzi.

Maidens With Trench Mirrors Get Attention

WASHINGTON, A*ig. 2.—And now comes the trench mirror for the bathing beauty. pb, yes, the war had its effect* upon the bathing beauty as well. Even men find some of t{ie war’s byproducts useful, but the peach who lts upon the beach Is the latest to find a use for surplus war material. She now has her ovvh little trench outfit, mirror and everything feminine in It, and watertight, too, which she to rehabilitate the charms that may succumb to the Potomac’s dissolving Influence.
