REST FOR BRAIN ToiLERs.

Good Work Cannot be Done When the
Brain il acknowledgements Men.
There are no workers who require an
nual, or even more frequent, periods Of
rest more than newspaper men. T0iling
as most Of them do, under pressure, the
nerves and brain are continually at tho
highest tension. Unless this strain is re-
lieved from time to time, the weaiied
brain, IL 1t does not snap, becomes relaxed,
and it is impossible to produce first class
work.
A man may be able to write when his
brain Is exhausted. Some men get SO in
the habit that they can write when they
are asleep, hut oil vigor, force and origin
atty is lacking, or il the strain of brillian-
cy Is kept up, 1t is done at the expense OF
life itself. This is not news to most Of
our readers. There Is hardly a journalist
Of any experience who does not fully re-
nlize the truth Of this statements, and it Is
safe to say that there arc very few who
would not DO willing to take the vacations
It they could get them.
The trouble lies with the proprietors Of
the papers and with tho space system.
The writer who is dependent upon his col
umn string, who has no fixed salary to
rely upon, rarely has On opportunity to
save enough 70 pay the expenses Of . va
cation, nor can he afford to stop the pro-
duction of column filters long enough to
take the rest which he requires. II Is on
this account that we see 50 many young
men broken down in newspaper work,
prematurely old, worn out and useless.
There are In New York alone over Ave
hundred space writer's, brilliant, cultured
and enterprising, who como within this
category and who cannot do moro than
take q day or two or ct the furthest. Not
only is the absence of money, during the
brief vacation they might take, o serious
consideration, but the possibility and prob.
ability that some rival may take their
place in whole or In part, or that they
may lose some valuable opportunity Ia
which they can obtain large returns, are
even moro potent reasons for their re-
naming at the treadnlill.
An ingenious knight OF the pen suggests
the formation of Mutual Vacation A.

In fact, do not believe exaggemte when
