CURE FOR BRAIN FAG.
"Dr. Rest" and CDR. Common SenSeo
Are the Best Specialists
to Consult.

Is brain fag' to be regarded as
the distinguishing feature of life in
the new century? Following on this
alarming question, says the London
Mail, comes list of symptoms:
Pain round the sockets CT otherwise
healthy eyes, exhaustion following
upon reading, thinking. or any, bust
ness excitement. ETC.
A physician, in answer to an in.
quiry, said: THE brain is the most
exquisitely delicate mechanism
known to us, but mechanism is a
brutal word to apply to the thing
which can evolve a fiscal policy or a
battleship, yet on which a sunbeam,
a shadow, or perfume produces the
most profound effects. Yet some
women use this delicate machinery
as no carter would use a horse:
many men do so.
When the brain is tired it does
not say so in words. but in symp-
toms; then we grunlble and call
these symptoms brain fag,' 1t is an
excellent name. This new disease is
as old as the hills. and it is on the
Increase. There is only one doctor
IN existence who can cure it. A brain.

Mental sunshine is almost as essen
tial for our physical well-being as is
the magic energy of the suns rays.
The sunlight is sometimes hidden by
impenetrable clouds; and during a part
OF every "a hours the whole world is
shrOuded in the darkness of night;
but. says Good Health. mental and
moral sunshine may be always pres
ent, for
In ourselves the sunshine dwells:
In ourselves the music sWeils."
A certain eastern governor who in
ais youth had been a shepherd and
whom good fortune had raised to a
high position, prepared in his palace
4 room in which were displayed the
simple garments and implements
which belonged to his humble shep-
herd life. AT regular intervals the
governor retired to this room, and for
an hour contemplated the mementOes
Of the low estate from which good for
tune had raised him, so that he might
not become lifted up and naughty be-
cause Of his preferment. 1t IS said that
the mental and moral discipline to
which he thus subjected himself has so
beneficial an effect upon his charac-
ter that he became Greatly renowned
tor the equity and justice which char
acterized his official conduct. A sa-
gacious writer has suggested that it is
wise plan for everyone to maintain
sort of memory room. or perhaps
several such mental apartments, to
which he may retire at will for such
contemplation as will give him the
mental or moral discipline which he
may require.
One such room that everybody needs
Is sunshine room. into which should

most striking instances of Providential
care and leading When the gloomy
clouds of despair and dependency
gather thick upon the mental horizon,
one may retreat into his sunshine
room. and by the steady contemplation
OF its memory treasured glories, may
dissipate the clouds and bask in the
warmth and light of former days
1t is not always easy to turn away

to dwell upon the memory pictures of
the days gone by. but the power to do
this may readily be increased by prac-
tice. A resolute effort in the right di-
rection will accomplish wonders in
putting despair and disappointment
into the background and bringing to
the foregr5und of our consciousness
mental pictures which are radiant with
the light of joy and hope and conf
dence. If there seems little in our own
experience which affords food for
hopeful and joyful thought. we may
find help in recalling and considering
the happy experiences of others.

The friendly girl makes friends wher
is bright and cheerful, and enters room
like sea breeze, fresh, laughing, nod

ity. The blues and the "doldrums"
fly out of the window when she comes
in. They simply can't endure her sunny
presence.
She is ready for everything. She never
throws cold water on your plans. She
claps her hands and says they are
splendid, and suggests way to make
them even more delightful, so sweetly

Wherever she goes she sees the drou
side of things. And she has such q
funny, whole-hearted way of describing
them that it is as good to hear her as to
have been there yourself-even better.
for she has the humorous eye, which Is
great gift.
She doesn't abuse 1t, though. You
needn't expect to be RECALLED with bitter
sarcasm and spiteful exaggerations. She
can be clever and comical without be-
ing unkind, or untruthful, or coarse
And this is also great gift.
She is receptive and responsive. She
likes everybody, not considering it her
dpty to suspect anyone Of evil until
positive proof has been presented. She
prefers to consider all the world hon.
est and glad until it proves itself other
wise.
The friendly girl always gets along.
She has friends everywhere. For peo-
pleswho have met her never forget her,
and she has room in her own heart for
everybody.
The girl who has friends-who mAkes
friends and keeps friends-bless her!
