1EyYSYTTE4 people are running too much to fads.
W He says they are wearing themselves
out chasing after physical culture,
golf, tennis, automobling, massage, diet,
baths, etc He denominates these things as fads.
The person gets interested in one or more of them
and spends great deal of time and energy pur-
suing them.
No doubt person run a thing into the
ground and make it harmful even though of
itself it be a good thing. But We believe that
every person should have at least one side issue
or fad from his regular vocation.
After one gives much time every day to
the routine of work, to turn aside for while
and take up golfng, tennis or physical culture
or other outdoor sport, is restful and beneficial
True, some people do become regular cranks on
-4ealth culture, diet, bathing athletic sports etc.
but any one of these pursued in moderation with
common sense, can be made of great deal of
use, especially to the person confined in an office
all day 1t brings into play the muscles that are
unused and it drives from his mind all business
care sand sets another train of thought going.
Reasonable attention to diet and bathing is also
sure to improve health. The woman who is con-
fined to her home the larger part of the day with
housework will find golf or tennis or an hour
spent in physical culture a relief to tired muscles
and nerves.
Change and variety in our daily routine are
necessary TO our well-beng. No matter what
our regular vocation may be, il is harmful to get
into rut. just simply going through tread
mill of duty day after day with no letup. One
should always try 20 bring into each day some
new activity, some new train Of thought II il
not wise thing to get into certain groove ant
lust simply wear ones life away Monotony kill
quicker than anything else. We should have ou
dsilv work, in which we are interested, put oul
energy and enthusiasm into il and do it with al
our might. Then, when that is done. turn to SOM
other form Of activity or rest.

Eisht-Day Clocks

@7HE French have a fashion of express
ing an indefinite but short period of
time by the phrase "about eight days"
l2SseESN Under similar conditions, we would
say "about week" The French
method seems unnatural ours natural, for a
week is distinctly recognized period. We be-
leve there is only one way in which we use the
eight day period, and that is in making clocks.
Did it ever occur to you why we have what
is called an eight day clock and not one made
to run exactly seven days? There is good
son for it. A clock that is made to run eight
days is pretty sure to be wound on a certain
day of the week, for it would be almost impos-
sible for any to remember to wind it on
every eighth day. Therefore the interval be-
tween windings is seven days, precisely as the
maker desired and expected.
The reason is that clock runs better when it
is not allowed to run down, or even nearly so.
The same plan is followed in making watch;
it will run for thirty hours, but as nearly every
man winds his watch at the same hour every
day or night, the spring is never fully exhausted.
Regularity in winding is one of the best means
of keeping timepiece in order.

arise in the future, come within the pro-
