BRAIN FAC

MONT worry about brain flag. It is
rare disease. And the chances
are strong that you will never get it.
There are few overworked brains
in the world. But for every over
worked brain there are at least two
million underworked brains.
And the man whose brain Is over
worked can usually afford to rest 1t
by taking a vacation. The man with
an underworked brain isn't likely to
have any money to spend on q vaca-
ton.
Your brain can stand a great deal
more work than you think It can. If
you are anything like the average hu-
man being you are working it at about
half it's capacity.
The man who uses his brain cOntin-
uously, even while engaged on a diff
cult task, is unusual. Most of us find
plenty Of excuses for resting-with the
result that the momentum is de-
stroyed, and when we attack the Job
we have to get up steam all over
again.
Among men who are really brain
workers, and who prosper because they
are. brain workers. there Is very little
fear, and very little danger Of brain
flag. L
Worry wears out more brains than
work. Worry comes oftenest from In
efficiency, from the knowledge that the
Job we are attempting Is beyond our
powers.
The way to cure that is to make our
selves efficient, and the only method
by which we can make ourselves eff
cient Is by employing our brains to
their fullest capacity.
If you use your brain till 1t Is tired,
It will slow up and refuse to function
easily. That is plenty Of warning, but
you are not at all likely to reach that
stage. Few men do.s
What is commonly called overwork
is, as a general thing, overwcrry.
Avoid that. Avoid worry in any form,
IL you can. .4
But don't bother about overwork.
The men who have done things In this
world have always overworked. They
wouldn't be successful If they hadn't.
That is, they have worked far beyond
the hours that the average man thinks
he ought to work.
Peg away at whatsyou are doing as
hard as you can. Play In the mean
time. and play hard. Keep your body
In good condition and your mind will
stand any strain you are likely to put
on 1t without any danger Of breaking
down.

three day rooms. the living room, the
dining room and the kitchen, facing the
front yard and the road. Between
these three rooms and the porches the

A Spool of Thread
Pays Rent in GERMANY

Berlin, Dec. 20-What to do when
the rent came around puzzled the
tenant of a sevenroom house at Celie.
Nestphalia. when he was short of
money. until he happened to think of
several spools of scwngmachinc
thread left on hand from purchases
made before the war.
The tenant pays 900 marks an
nually for the house and the quar-
tcrs rent amounted to 225. His offer
to pay the landlord with one spool or
the thread was accepted, the tenant
receiving 10 marks cash in change
since this thread now sells for 235
marks spool. Before the war. the
spools cost him so pfennigs each.
\ federal law limits the prices that
may be charged for rent: thread fol-
lows the dollar rate of exchange

RESPONSIBILITY ON FRANCE

Technically or otherwise Germany
is in default under the Versailles
Treaty, France under that treaty has
n right to enter the German territory,
the entente between her and England
is mot destroyed by reason of that
act. England is not compelled to
accept responsibility for the act but
will share in reparations. The
amount of these which may be COL
lectcd by the French occupation is a
matter of doubt. We hope it will be
considerable but the weight of opin-
ion is on the other side. We also
hope the profitcers that have been
bleeding Germany will find them
selves restrained in some degree at
least. 1t is perhaps not too much to
hope that the German people will
conclude that the time for bluf1ins,
evading and snuffling is past. If
they do and France is able to re-
strain the greed that will endeavor
to make use of and perpetuate the
Ruhr occupation just settlement
may yet be had. 1t is not surprising,
however, that grave doubts are en-
tcrtaincd. If France would retain
the sympathy of her associates she
must try TO make this occupation
useful and just to all parties con-
ccrncd.
