Cure for Overwork.

HTHE term 'overwork' is the most
L misunderstood in the whole Ian
guage," says Betty Compson, popular
screen actress.
Ever so often YOU read or hear
about some one who has broken down
through 'overwork.' If the truth is
told, II is not overwork which is re-
sponsible. The breakdown results
from unintelligent wastage Of the
nerve forces.
The law of compensation" says
Miss Compson. "is all that is required
to keep the human body and mind fit
for their work. When a man follows
career which requires him to make
tremendous Withdrawals from his
nervous reserve power, he should see
that he compensates for this with
other activities which bring other
forces into play. The farmer who re-
peatedly sows the same field to one
kind of crop eventually ruins the
field.
