We are like bouse plants: We need a
change of soil now and then to be replant
ed. New scenes, ne experiences, new
surroundings a change of climate, dry
air instead of moisture, sunshine, in
place of cloud. This Is sometimes es
sential to health. There are condition!
near atdi md that are better than Europe
can offer. Take a month or two in Cali
fornia. Plant yourself for a time where
there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, where warm sunny weather invites
to walks and driva?. Pure and dry air,
and the increaseased electric influences
of sunshiao are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enj ty a ride over the scen

at this time of the year with their snow
covered peaks, are, surpassed for their
grandeur. j
