BREAKING Away From Work,

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do so as a matter of
volition and ethical Judgment rather
than Of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment in life
They ought to do less for self and more
for others. They ought to live more in
books and more III the open and less
at their desks ard realize better health
and longer lives rs Il result. More and
more culture in all It's forms Is exer-
cising growing influence. Which must
manifest itself in lessened effort along
the lines of money getting and the de-
votion Of more time on the part Of our
business men to the pursuits which
naturally accompany fortified leisure.

gain leisure. and Aristotle WAS wise
