be beginning.
Go to a club of American business
men where they sit without hats and
you have no trouble picking out the
men past forty. THEY ARE ALL
BALD.
Look closely at thor races and you
will see them pale, the majority Of
them with deep lines. You see writ
ten in those faces too much time Civ
en- to work, not enough to fresh air
and the making of new blood that
the brain must have to do its work
DR.. Murphy, of Chicago, one of the
greatest surgeons and diagnosticians
that this or any other country pro-
duced, constantly impressed upon his
patients Of middle age that they must
rest in the middle of the day.
"Stop the engine, lie down, sleep for
five minutes if you can, at least rest
your nhiad and bod TIA or fifteen
minutes. Then you can go on again,
and you may live long"
He advised all conscientiously, and
as he advised them, HE WORKED
HIMSELF TO DEATH. His friends
called him, the hospital where he
worked for charity called him, doc
tors all over the country clamored
for his help and cooperation. He
was the typical self-driving American,
and now he is dead, whereas he should
have been working at his best for an
other twenty years.
So much for one able American
representative of professional life.
Another American of great power
was f. H. Hartman, the railroad
builder. He made hundred millions
or thereabouts But that represent
ed a small part of what he gave to
the country in properly rebuilding one
Of its greatest railroads and opening
up new territory.
Hartman could build railroads, nc
could find hundreds of millions for
finance, he could take care Of all the
problems that present themselves from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. But could
not or would not TAKE CARE OF
THE BODY OF f. H. HARTMAN
And he died, literally killed by the
fierce energy that drove him on al
an age when his real work should
have been Just beginning.
Those that saw him in his office
in the middle Of the day saw a thin
overworkcd man, eating hastily {
mouthful that a clerk put beside him
and working as he ate
Mr.. Hartman kept fine horses for
the amusement of his children. II
he had found a groom feeding the
horse and working the horse at the
same time he would have discharged
him. He would have said to the
groom, when this horse works he
needs all his strength 10 work, When
he eats he needs all his strength to
digest. Let him rest after he eats"
Every American business man
knows that about a HORSE. but not
one in a hundred knows enough to
say that about HIMSELF.

In the world of business, science,
literature, the valuable asset is the
man of fly. His best work should
be done between fifty and seventy. And
if he knows how to live wisely, ten
years may be added, and the best
thirty years found between fifty and
eighty,
Gladstone, Moltke, Pope Leo and
host of others did their most valu-
able work, were at thor best as work
ing forces, when past seventy.

A man knows that his horse must
rest, and even his engine of steel
must have its periods of cessation,
and stop to be examined and put in
order.
No man would try to run an electric
battery without stopping occasionally
to have it charged.
But the American forgets that his
body is an engine, of very soft ma
terial, the heart the motive power,
and his nerves a battery that must
rest. to be recharged like any other
battery.

There are millions in this country
booked for an early funeral, who
know perfectly we'll that they are
livlpe fealishly, rgek|easlys hNgwiug
toward early death. The trouble with
the American is that he KNOWS, but
will not use his knowledge.
English, French and Italians are
wiser, They value life, they know
the worth of the latsr years. They
stop when they have done enough for
that day and begin fresh the next

There is no lack Of statistics as to
what the country loses through these
misfortunes, through hail and food,
drought and premature frost.
But the greatest loss to the world,
and especially in America, is that
caused by the death of men that die
too soon.
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-11-25

Statistics carefully prepared by the
government tell you about great loss
es that the nation endures.
Insects destroy so many billions in
crops every year.
Rats destroy their hundreds of mil
lions worth of property.
From one single ship coming to a
dock, and fumigated with deadly gas
while the matches were battened down,
they took out two thousand dead rats
and quarter of ton of cockroacheS.
The health authorities felt proud to
keep out all that destructive force.
They well might.
Fires that might be prevented cause
hundreds Of millions in loss; forest
fires are great drain.
We know that an impure milk sup
ply, unhealthy housing, dirty cutters
where children play, and other feat
ures of civilization" cost the lives
every year Of many children. The
consumption germ alone carries away
each year its hundreds of thousands.

kENNEeEc LOG DRIVING co.
Finishes Putting Out 6ooms Prepare
tory to Seasons Drive

wv " 0CdSOU 1.-two
The Kennebec Log Driving Co. has
finished the work of putting out the
booms along the river preparatory
to the seasons drive. Much more
boom is now used than formerly and
this is Of great assistance in float
ing logs as it prevents many jams
which in years past collected on
rocks and gravels. The wing boom,
which is kept in place by the cur
rent. is extensively used and is very
successful.
The Shawmut boom is now closed
and will remain so until a quantity
of logs collects there, when it will be
opened. The sorting booms of the
various mills are nearly all in place
and this work will be we'll underway
within the next week. It is expected
that logs will begin to reach Five
Mile Island boom at Kennebec, five
miles above Augusta, the last Of the
current week.
A new feature Of the drive this
year is a large amount Of four-foot
wood which will be driven through
with the long logs. This short wood
will go to the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney Co. at Winslow and the S. D.
Warren Co. at Kennebec. Reports
from the drives on Monday were to
the effect that the water which has
been at a fair driving pitch on the
streams where driving was in prog
ress was falling. The water in the
Kennebec at Augusta began to rise
Monday after falling for several days.
and this is attributed to the hoist
ing of gates at Moosehead lake.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it Is rad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that In
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift. but is always ad-
yisable to use preparation made for
shampooing only. Many OF our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple home made canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
of about 8 cents a shampoo by getting
some canthrox from your druggist
and dissolving a teaspoonful in cup
~ hot water. This makes enough
Shamnoo LIQUID to apply to all the
hair instead of just the top OF the
head. as with most preparations.
Dandrun, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear In the
rinsin9 water. Your hair will be SO
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it Is. It's luster and softness
will also delight you.
