SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. g. "a. q. Reed

VOUR health character, like
4 your character in general
in It's relation to, your success,
depends upon your acquisition
and intelligent exercise Of Ger.
tain very definite habits Of work,
play, rest and exercise. The &C.
quiring of these habits In turn
depends largely upon your power
of decision and action. All Of
them have a direct bearing upon
your efficiency, and efficiency
spells success.
Among the, most important Of
exercises to acquire early in life
are those of work, play, rest and
exercise. Each of these items has
its own proper place in daily life.
Too many people nowadays tend
to store up their need Of exercise,
rest and play for the one month
in the year when they get q vaca-
ton, and to fill the whole OF the
rest of the year up with work.
This habit Is playing fast and
loose with our national mental
health. On the other hand the
man who does nothing but play
inevitably finds himself sooner or
later without any vital interests
to occupy him. In mental exer-
else. as in physical, consistent
moderation is essential.
It is of the highest Importance
that YOU early acquire the habit
Of arriving at decisions. Make
clear.cut, practical decisions. One
of the infallible signs Of the truly
great mind Is the genius which IL
possesses for simplifying the com.
plicated. Most of our best deci-
sions are so simple and 40 clear
that we need never explain them
to ourselves again, nor even need
to remember them, because there
is no danger Of their being forgot.
ten. Once a decision is made,
never question the steps by which
1t was arrived at. Nearly every
complicated problem can be re.
solved into a series OF simple prop
osttions which require simple an
swers.
But It would be worthless. 70
get the habit of arriving at de.
cisiOns If you never carried them
into effect. The most tragic
people in. the world are those who
make decisions and then never
get started. 1t Is for this reason
that after making a decision,
waste no time rnobilizlng extra
enerby, but act on it at once. A
small boy who has taken the
plunge thoroughly enjoys his
swim, but If he stands on the
bank long enough the dive may
become an obsession, an insuper.
able obstacle. Waiting does not
warm the water. Once in, he
regrets the time he spent on the
bank. There is only one justifi.
able delay, that which is neccs.
sary to resolve q difficult prob.
lem into its simple components.
But that once done-go to It!
These habits tend toward ef.
ficiency. Be efficient in what
you do. Do not drive your tacks
with a sledge hammer. When
we expend a vast amount IF
nervous or physical energy on 4.
comparatively simple task we
waste our resources. Neverthe.
less, this Ii one Of the common.
The Washington times., 1927-09-01

START DOING.
We had thought that dreams
were enough. If we wished for
a thing hard enough" surely we
would get It. But dreams are
not enough. Dreams must al
ways precede great action, but
dreams cannot be q substitute
for action. Dreams are not even
ambition.
Many people confuse dreams
with ambition. az you have done
In your letter, Helen. They think
that the WISH TO BE 10 the
same as the WILL TO BE. It
isn't.
aimless, = mere itching Of the
emotions.
THE WILL TO BE Is definite,
purposeful, a deliberate graphing
with the mind.
Dreams properly controlled are
an elixir. but habitual dreams
are . vicious narcotic.
Dream beautifully, Helen,
dream until your life IL filled
with q hunger for fine and noble
living. THEN STOP DREAM.
ING AND START DOING. Keep
your vision before you as q goal.
but stop building castles In the
air. Begin to take definite steps
toward achievement. Assume GER
tain responsibilities-tie yourself
to definite program - GET
