Never Suffer From OverWork.

People who keep their minds clear
and cool, who take things philosophical
~ as they come; who discipline their
wills to look on the cheerful side of
things; who eat what they need, pro-
portioned to their physical activity
who take stimulants not at all or, if
they ever do, never take them to whip
their tagging strength-such people
can do d prodigious amount of work
and never dream Of such a thing as
"overwork."
