Work While at Work.

It's a good thing not to take your
hobbies to the office. It's also good
thing to dispense with easy chairs and
other luxuries in your place of busi-
pess. Take the rest cure at home. The
Office is place Of toll. 1t should be
comfortable. but its appointments
should be suggestive of work and eff
cheney rather than leisure. Instead
of making a man feel like taking a
nap the Office enviS ,nment should be
an urge to his best efforts. --.-~.,
