THE WORK MANIA
By H. kddingtol Bruce

y " ANY people as IS we'll known seem to have
MI perfect mania FOR iding. others
L though far fewer, have mania for work
they cannot bear to be idle moment SO
long as they are awake they must be busily en-
gagged at something. They mentally take tneir
work with them even when they go to bec
They plan the pezt days activities while tall
ing asleep. The moment they again open their
eyes their minds are intent on what they have
do during the day.
While bathing shaving, aad dressing they
think of their work. Grudgingly they give te"
minutes 10 the morning paper. Hastily they gulp
down their toast and eggs and coffee.
Then, whir-r-r! They are once more deep IN
work.
for happiness. 1t does not make for health it
does not make even for efficiency.
The man who think of nothing but his
work and insists on thinking of his work virtually
all the time is in fact certain to think OF MS work
less efficiently .haE the who takes time to re-
lax, who knows how TO play, who has variety
of interests to occupy his leisure hours.
This second man, by shifting attention to oLner
things gives opportunity for rest to the brain cells
occupied with the problems of his daily work. The
Consequently they become fatigued and go
strike. At once he begins to fall off in his work
unaccountably and alarmingly. Then he begins to
worry.
But worry only makes matters for him.
It keeps him awake nights, upsets his digestion
causes frequent headaches and po1sons his Whoie
system.
Nervous exhaustion" is the verdict of the
need a complete rest. You must stop work, Danish
all thoughts of business, and take a long holt
day
Poor fellow. He has been accustomed to think
of nothing but business, and has learned hcw
to take a real holiday!
Yet somehow he must learn this If he is ever
to regain nervous balance. And for the future
conservation of his health he must train himself al
ways to leave thoughts of work behind him when
the working day is done.
You who read these lines may be developing
into a work maniac yourself. Be warned before
you go to smash nervously.
Make it q pOin, to become interested, truly in
terested in some play activities. Join golf club
a tennis club 4 owing club, some organization de-
voted to Measurable outdoor exercise.
In addition cultivate hobbies for your indoor
leisure. There is unending range of choice open
to you, from the collecting of postage stamps to
the study Of art music, or literature.
Choose something, do something, that will so
grip your mind as to expel from it fcr the time be-
ing all thoughts of work That is the path of
safety for you.
What idlers need is to develop real passion
for productive effort. What you need, poten-
tiaI work maniac, it t. develop enthusiasm for
recreative play.

 York Papers Praise 1t Hiqhly.

Jack and the Beanstalk is the most artistic picture William Fox ever has produced, and this is said with due apologies to Neptune's Daughter. A Daughter of the Gods and The Honor System.
 The kiddies all think that Jack and the Beanstalk was produced especially for them. and so 1t was-one angle of .t at least-but 1t is filled with such delicious. subtle humor that the thea Ire rang with applause. Two marvel ous children, Francis Carpenter and Virginia Lee Corbin, play the leads. Not only are they the most beautiful children on the screen, but they are the most talented.
 The acting of Virginia as the Prin- cess in her love scenes with Jack. who has come to slay the giant. is simply away ahead of anything that any other child ever has accomplished Virginia Is 1-2 and Francis is a year older.
 The adventures of Jack and the Princess makes the story, which is more beautifully produced than one would believe possible. Nothing has been left out which might contribute To the perfection of the picture But, In spite of the fact that the settings are magnificent, the photogra phy a marvel and the children beautiful it = he wonderful humor of the produc-

 In The Fall of the Romanoffs, staged on a massive style, replete with thrill Ing and historical incidents, and con- taining enough action for any two photoplsys such questions as these are disposed of: Who was Rasputin? Where did he come from? How did be come to wield so powerful an in- fuence over the czar and the royal family? How could he, a rough peas ant, come 10 settle questions of state? How did he dare to interfere with the desttnies of a nation by negotiating for separate peace with Russia, he an ignorant moujik. who could not read or write correctly? How did he meet his doom? Who killed him and why. Was his influence over women as great as reputed? Did he really possess hypnotic powers. and was he as evil as repute has made him? The tAAtsNEAo NH all AlAGSt AutSNlOHS are tOIl@ tained in Herbert Brenon's picture. and thev are presented in the true version in The Fall of the Romanoffs, played by an all-star cast, including Nance O'Nsil.
