That Tacoma and the North

pertence a great business uplift Is
seen from the report OF Eilers
Music House. Last Thursday we
did the biggest single days bus

whereby lower prices are made

A Baby Grand is the piano
most coveted by refined women.

When all is said and done,
there is only one thoroughly re-
liable cure for neuresthenia, and
that is work-not head work, but
the kind of work that makes you
sweat and that makes you so
tired that you want to go to bed
with your clothes on. But 1t
must be outdoor work.
Take the case of the neures-
thenic office man. Drugs cannot
benefit him, for drugs can get to
the root of mental trouble. Care

these can act only as a palliative.
The nervous trouble, once estab-
lished, h,lds the fort, for It Is
daily REINFORCED by the recur-
renee of the same things that
caused 1t In the first place
work. worry and the sedentary
life.
Such a man must begin all over
again. He must drop the work
that has bankrupted his nerves
and do something else that will
change his whole habit of thought
into new channels. He must co
something that requires little
thought and much physical exer-
ton, and that will keep him In
the open. In word, he must do
farm work, or something else
that will impose such conditions
as are imposed by farm work.
II he has the courage to break
away and change his work thus
for six, months or a year the
chances are that he will be re-
by a full return to health
and that he can go back to his
old work with enough reserve

creased earning power that will

Psychology to Keep Round Pegs
From Trying to Fill Square Holes
Greatest American Psychologist
Says Science Can Place Men I'm
Right Occupations and Save
Human Waste.
BY Hugo Muensterbcrg

The waste of human material
In the world today is appalling.
Thousands go into vocations for
which they are In no sense fitted
by nature or education. It is go
ing to be n problem for us to
analyze the requirements of diff
ferent vocations, from that of the
lawyer, doctor and architect to
the laborer in the factory or the
motorman In the electric car.
Our psychological laboratories
today are fitted for problems Of
education, but not yet, very
largely, for problems of industry,
Imagination and attention,
most every company agrees, are
necessary powers of a motorman,
for instance. But there are many
kinds of attention, and In order
to have a test of any value we
must be able to specify definitely.
Some individuals have what is
called the attention of concentra-
ton. They can watch one thing
we'll. Others have the attention
of expansion, in which they can
put their minds at the same time
on many things.
1t would be unwise to rush the
interests of industry by taking
up the tests already developed
for education and medicine. The
tests for industry are so different
that we must take up that field
by itself.
For the motormon, tests as to
the rapidity Of action. as to GER
tain kinds of attention, memory,
imagination, intelligence and abil-
ity to Judge a complex situation,
will stand In the foreground.
These tests may be carried on
with simple technical means.
The expert psychologist should
add to this a similar study of the
time during which a man may be
safely under mental stress.
Fatigue Is by no means the
only factor entering into the
rhythmic occurrence of accident.
For example, in Besseme steel
mill 1t was found that the peak
of activity very nearly conceded
with the peak OF accident.
This suggests forcibly that the
speed of action Is the primary fac
tor In the number of accidents.
When activities slacken. accidents
decrease.

Then go ahead and prove that

Take a glass full Of water and

In lieu of farm work or other
work in the open a walking tour
Is to be recommended. Such q
trip brings change of scene and
physical exhaustion with the free
dom from worry, good appetite
and sound sleep that these imply.
But change Of work and change

NEW PIANOS FOR S165
A brand new, modern, upright
piano In splendid oak or mahog-

others can be had at $3.50, $215
and $184.
NEW UPRIGHT PIANOS
Some new models are included
In the sale at reduced prices, and
on easy payments; no home need

payment down--say whatever you
can spare--and the balance at the
rate of $1.25 a week or its
equivalent by the month, enables
you to own piano without ever
missing the money.

and it, in all probability. will be

In addition to the broad guar
