A Bows Work

AS a general rule, the man that is
worth anything to his country and the
world is he who, when a boy, had
learned to work. The only channel of
reform lies in the direction of boys
life. The only worth, the only truth.
the only happiness is in doing. This
does not mean drudgery 1t is the en-
ployment of ones thought or ones
hands in the accomplishment of some
thing of value to life. There is no
value in mere learning. A man mag
know all mathematics and II classics
and then be no more than a mere fig

cannot be talked into boy. 1t comes

II you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with a duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains In the back or sick headache,
dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neatralize these irritating acids,
TO cleanse the kidneys and flush of
the body's urinous waste get four

demoralized his faculties that he dis
regarded danger signals. thus causing
the loss of many precious lives.
We all know that our ability dete-
riorates. that our efficiency Is cut
down when We are mentally exhaust
ed, Our courage, our initiative, our
perceptions. our power of fine dis
elimination and appreciation, as well
as our observation and our hearing
are impaired. because the blood and
other secretions are loaded with
poison. which benumbs the faculties.
No man can do his best when he is
obliged to spur on his iaded faculties;
when he feels his mentality tagging
and is compelled to force II to yield
by pressure. There must be sponta-
neity in the thought or there will be
no vividness of Imagination, no GER
tainty of memory.
| know a business man. who has
tremendous brain power. but much Of
his work is exceedingly ordinary and
tame, because he does it when his
brain is jaded and tagged He is con-
stantly working under a great strain.
The result is that his Judgment.
which is very remarkable when he is
rested, is much of the time poor, and
he is frequently irritated because he
makes foolish, unaccountable blum
ders.
We cannot cheat nature without
paying the penalty. We rlay force the
brain to do a little EXTRA WORK one
day, but We get the protest in reac-
ton the next day. The brain will al
ways do it's maximum of work during
the year If it is only required to give
out each day. the force which is gen.
Grated in that day without drawing
upon the reserve. Who overdraws
from this daily supply faces mental
bankruptcy.
When overfatigued many people
make the mistake of sleeping just
nine hours-when, as matter Of fact,
they should sleep until they feel ALSO
lutely refreshed, renewed. It Is only
then that the debris, the broken-down
tissues, all the poisons from the
previous days run, have been elimi-
mated.
We have all had the experience of
retiring at night completely discour-
aged over something we were trying
to accomplish, and waking In the
morning with an entirely changed
mental attitude-new hope and a new
resolve. This is due to the fact that
the poisons have been eliminated
during our sleep, which has also in.
creased the resisting power of the
body and filled the blood with new
building material, new courage, new
energy, new life. In fact, after re-
freshing sleep we wake into new
world, world of hope and expecta-
tion This is why we should make 1t
life rule not to decide important
things at night when tired and dis
couraged. We are apt to do things
then which we will regret in
the morning, after the poisons have
been burned out of the system and
we are made over into new creatures.
Sleep, rest, complete relaxation, is
simply the antidote for brain poison.
