Don't Be in a Hurry
TAKE YOUR TIlE. WAKE LIRE LONGEl
By Chas. A. /. Reed. M. D,

batteries about eight hours out Of
every twenty-four in the station
called sleep" for the same pur-
pose. After we have slept or
rested we again have Juice" for
another run
It is to keep from exhausting
these storage batteries Of ours
that we reuire leisure We can
work with efficiency only in the
proportion to which they are well
charged. In this profound physio-
logical law lies the demand Of
muscle workers for shorter hours
and the demand of. brain workers
for longer vacations.
The muscle worker who works
eight hours a day does more
work and better work than he
who works ten hours a day.
And. by the same token, the
professional pan, the business
man. the brain worker who
works ten months q year does
more work and better work than
he who works twelve months a
year.
But, remember, that hurry is
labor intensified. BY hurry you
exhaust your energy with a RAJ
pidity that is in proportion to
your haste.
What you do in q hurry gener.
ally is less well done than that
which yon do at your normal
pace. That is because your ac-
ton patterns which is what the
psychologists call the nerve paths
of habitual naotion-have been
developed at a. certain pace or
rhythm. II you exceed that pace
you confuse the whole mechan.
ism, and the resulting motion is,
less precise.
For these and many other rea-
sons, don't live under the stress
Of eternal push and drive.
Don't hurry!
