SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch--

MODERN development is such
1V1 that specialization has become
the watchword Of the day.
The shoemaker no longer makes
the whole shoe but only a part of
1t. The builder of a house may
confine his work to bricklaying
and nothing else. In business all
work is subdivided. Even in the
professions a lawyer or doctor or
whatnot confines his activities to
but a small part of his entire call
ing.
There is no need decrying such
detailed application. 1t is a natu-
raj and inevitable development.
As knowledge and discoveries in
crease it becomes impossible to be-
come superlatively efficient in all
branches. Cheaper production and
mass production likewise are fac
tors.
Nevertheless, there are mental
dangers to be considered. espe-
cially il an individuals work is
mechanical and routine and there
fore likely to be boresome and
lacking in incentive.
Since man is really a many-sided
being it is necessary for his mental
as well as physical health that he
indulge in several activities.
If your work fails to stimulate
your various faculties and to rouse
your emotions it is wise to de-
velop a hobby or to take up some
side activity different from the
daily grind so that the brain may
function in all its parts.
Charles Lamb, while trying to
become recognized as q writer,
held a!clerk's job in the East India
House in London.
Our own Mcdonald. one of the
greatest composers, followed the
side-line of giving lectures on har-
mony at q university.
However, whatever the addi-
tional activity may be, care must
be taken lest 1t become too ex.
hausting.

trast to what We are forced to
do for a livelihood, we do with

This explains why those seek
ing recreation in golf, tennis,
hiking, card playing, dancing, or
whatever it may be. so often work
harder at their recreation aotivi-
ties than they do at their regular
work.
Such intense pursuit OF plea
sure enervates the nervous sys-
tenn Just the same as the money
making job does.
And when pleasure Is over
done in this way 1t leaves the
individual Handicapped in the pur-
suit of his everyday job which
should, after all. be his first
concern.
Try to balance your life as
much as possible.
Think it out first. Don't jump
to this or that pleasure without
first analyzing the situation,
figuring out what good you may
expect to get out of 1t.
Machinery has given us more
hours for leisure and 1t will con-
tinue to give us more and more
such hours in the future.
If leisure Is spent with an
eye to resting overwrought facul-
ties while at the same time exer-
cising those which remain more

and mind as a unit are affected

You have a certain standard

1t Is based upon your own ideas
