Brain Work

Brain tension is not a proof of
strength, but of weakness. The knit
brow, straining eyes and fixed atten
tion of the scholar are not tokens of
power, but of effort The intellectual
man with strong mind does his
brain work easily. Tension is fric
ton. and the moment the toll of a
growing brain becomes laborious it
should cease. We are unfortunately
so accustomed to see brain-work done
with an effort that we have come to
associate effort with work, ard to re
gard tension as something tolerable
If not natural As a matter of fact
no one should ever knit his brow as
he thinks, or in any way eviuce eff
fort as he works The best brain work
is done easily. with calm spirit and
equable temper. and in a jaunty
mood. All else is the toll of weak
or ill-developed brain straining to ac-
complish task which is relatively
too great for it.

Custom requires every man to

duty of prudent man to be post

pensable article of dress to the
best advantage to himself. Our
hat department is our pet. It
costs us nothing, extra for rent or
gas to run it, and by far the larg-
est portion Of our stock is
bought directly from the factory
in case lots. Tt is, therefore, easy
to see why we can and do sell
hats at least Is per cent. below
exclusive dealers. Don't make
an error and think because we
sell at such low prices that our
hats are low grades. We have
soft and stiff hats from the most
