The , jreateit risk hi ran "by rr-urainni-ts. a- . they go In the aca where there is no life , boat, and at a time when there are few ( persona on the strand to give an alarm, or attempt a rescue. Its a rare tiling indeed for any one to be . drowned hero, j on bathiSg grounds guarded by life aoala. All eases within our recollee-ii.n ( where accident have occurred have been ( [rom causes traced dUectly to physical ( debility aa the prime cause of disaster, and not from drowning proper. But as before remarked there can lie no security against rashness sod Ignorance. People will venture too far nut. not only risking their own lives, but those who go to- f their aid. The only help we know It to ' warn, and warn sgaln. every day. Don't 1 50 too faT out young lady -with the sUl- ' wart young man even If your confidence io h't heroism and muscle has. newt s been impeached. Don't venture too far ' expert swimmer. Remember the Ocean ' Is not your proper element, and no mat- 1 tcr how warm the water may be ypu » will pcrlah In It. Just as easily as a fish 8 placed on the grass UDder the cool shade r tif a tree, if you become exhausted out J if the reach of help. Don't venture nto the surf at all Invalid, without the ' jontent of your physician. Don't, don't, venture, and tempt the waves to pick 1 you off your feet by just going a little ' lather out, if unable "to swim or float, waist deep will do for you. Its a aor- » rowful, sirkenlng thing to chronicle drowning cases, for It seems unncces- " wry. Just uae ordinary caution and liter e'a so danger any mure than walkng the strand. It would be a good c dra to have placards displayed at i on- ( rtroirat places where excursionists bathe t warning them not to be venturesome, t md might prove the old adsge again | "that tn ounce of prevgu'lon Is worth a „ pound of cure." < No belter weather for bathing could ^ desired. Every morning you will ^ lnd old ocean In the same place you ( eft her the night before. Of course yau will. It Is the most reliable thing linag: ( : liable. But every dav seems tn Improve ( the bathing. If you go In to-day, and ' then try It again to-morrow, you will ( enjoy It much better. In fact, a person no gel so attached to it that Ho would rather go without his dinner, almost, than tn be deprived of thla pleasure. If you have not a good appetite, lay a bath, it la superior to any tonic you have ever 1 taken. It aeta the whole system in good trim. Tlie Mood circulates more freely, and your end® anatomy Is beneficed. Why, the-re sti a Jolly parly of Ptiilaadeipblans in bathing yesterday, and although they had all enjoyed a go id breakfast, they were unable, or • unwtU. log, to wait for the usual dinner hour, and after coming from the water proceeded to the nearest restaurant and This was tn addition to the regular dinner, which they also got away with In grand style. On account of these large eaters Is one cause of seaside boarding being somewhat high. The hotels would be aoid out the end of the first wtek's business if they didn't protect themselves lu thla way. The general verdict is that the season Is ahead qf last year. Hotel and grocery men both aay that their business is belter, at the same time there is no complaint any whare. All that is wanted ia a more stir, a little more vim. Agitate, agitate, is the watchword of Cape May's success. Keep yon reel f before the poopie. Fault-finding la far bolter than no nptiee at all. Adverse criticism ia not at all pleasant, but It Is often productive of much g <*1. 80 give It to the public. If you don't want to say good, criticise all tbe bad.
