Charles H. Harris's Ledgewood Farm Vacation lodge closed its sixth successful season last week. having taken care of! 176 girls who gained an average of eight and a half pounds in weight during the two weeks of rest and recreation they enjoyed at the lodge, which repre- sents one of the most unique and worth-while examples of philan- thropy in New England. There is only one rule at the va— cation lodge which is conducted on a. non-sectarian and perfectly gratis basis. being supported entirely by Mr. Harris. The rule is that each guest must drink at lcas‘. six pint glasses of milk each day and ear three'hcarty meals. It is difllcult to imagine much opposition to such a ruling when the milk is fresh and creamy. right from the cow and the food is the very best which can be supplied. ln opposition to the belief that most young girlmiodoy object to drinking.mllk. may of the visitors at the vacation lodge. statistics show. consumed from six to ten quarts of milk a day.
