Evil in OverWork,

Another clever accountant has in
jured his mind by overwork. Some
people need to be prodded before the,
will work. Some need to be restraine
or they will work till they drop. Soo,.
or or later the man that will not huS
band his strength and keep reserve
of energy pays for it by enforce;
leisure. Some people hate to-, work
Some people hate to play. AS Burn;
said, life is all a variorum. No huna7
being can ever be induced to p:cc
by the experiences of another huma
being. We are a stiff-necked and re
bellious generation.
