in Texas and was said to be worth
about a hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars. He was a man of
large family but he remembered his
nieces and nephews in South Caro-
lima and willed them Two thousand
dollars apiece. Richard went out to
Texas and collected his money and
in these hard times can rightly be

CAN'T OVERCROWD BRAIN

From Marketing.
Don't be afraid Of thinking too
much. You can't. "The more the
mind does" said William James, the
more it can do" A great doctor
DIR. Boris Sidis-recently said: "In
all my practice as physician deal
ing with nervous and mental dis
eases, I can say without hesitation
that I have not met single case of
nervous or mental trouble caused by
too much thinking or over-study.
What produces mental trouble is
wGr5 5-emotionaa exeitement-lack
of interest in ones work."
So don't be afraid. Think. Study.
Plan. Train your mental powers.
You cannot overwork the brain as
you allow it time to recuperate.
1t is worry that destroys the
brain-worry and fear and bad feel
ings and mental idleness.
