SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis e. Bisch-

CIUCCESS Is something we all
~ want.
Success is the golden apple that
seems to dance before our eyes
throughout life.
Although success Is a relative
term there is no individual who
does not strive for 1t, who does
not bend his efforts toward
achieving it.
The business man measures sue.
cess in terms of more sales, a
larger plant, greater power.
The professional man thinks Of
success as an increase e. patients
or clients, more renows and au.
thority in his special field Of en-
deavor.
The workingman believes he has
achieved success when his wages
are increased, when the bank bal
ance grows.
The mother believes she has sue
ceeded when she has conserved the
health and happiness of her grow
ing children and has established
an adequate home.
You will undoubtedly think that
the idea of success Of one indi-
vidual does not differ in a material
sense from that of any other in
dividual. That is true. Success
means self-aggranlisement, the
enhancement of ones ego enjoy
ments.
Success to every one means the
accomplishment of something for
which he is striving. And he
believes that once he achieves
success that he will be happy.
II you strive hard enough you
can succeed. It is astonishing
what really can be accomplished.
Striving hard, however, should
not mean slavish devotion to an
ambition to the total exclusion Of
all other interests.
Strange as it may seem, you
must broaden your interests II
you would achieve signal success
in any special field.
This is not idle advice. It Is
based on sound psychological prin-
ciples.
If you keep using one set Of
brain cells over AMI over again,
without resting and without using
other brain cells as a Counter
balance, as It were, you invariably
deplete your nervous energy and
work your cells to exhaustion.
Persistence wins success it Is
true, but only persistence that
stresses the use Of special faculties
without wearing them out.
The brain and nervous system
are the toughest structures we
possess. The amount of insult
they will stand is greater than
that of any other living tissue.
Picture to yourself the terrific
Onslaughts that were made upon
the nervous system during the late
war. Is 1t not remarkable that all
the men engaged in that terrific
conflict did not succumb to So
called s'shell shock" or to some
chronic nervous malady?
But strong and tough though
the brain and nerves may be.
when they finally do give way it
takes months and sometimes years
to bring them back to normal
again.
Only people who actually suffer
with nerves can tell you what
this means-what real torment it
entails.
Therefore, strive for success,
but be careful you do not gain It
at q price that is far too ex'
penSive.
No degree Of success, no va.
riety of success, no achievement
Of whatever kind q worth .

MEDITATTONS
OF A WIFE

Tricks i'm the LOve-Game

Tricks IN the LOVe'1ame
TN these days of professional
II flappers a woman doesn't ap-
pear to age any faster than
comic strip baby.
Ten years ago love was suffer
ing from malnutrition; now it is
dying from overstimulation and
nervous indigestion.
Considering that love Is the
most absorbing game of a wo-
mans life. it is astonishing how
little she ever learns about when
to hold and when to play her win
ming cards, or how to keep a
poker face.
The honeymoon is not over. 50
long as she regards his absorp-
ton in a book as an insult instead
of as a blessing.
Marriage is the greatest gamble
on earth. But the trouble with
most people is that they are
peeved and ready to quit the
game unless they make hundred
per cent profit right at the start.
Failing in love consists chiefly
in Gncorking the imagination and
bottling the common sense.
One way for modern parents to
enjoy a car is to get a cheap old
secondhand thing that daughter
and son would blush to be caught
driving even in lonesome road
after dark.
What a man calls his "consci-
ence" is merely the mental or
sentimental reaction that comes
with the headache after too many
cocktails or too many kisses.
Many a modern love affair seems
to be just one long struggle for
supremacy, which begins in the
taxicsb and ends in the divorce
court.
To make q man happy don't tell
him that he is brilliant or noble;
just tell him that he works too
hard, that he spends too much
money, that he is misunderstood"
or that he is different"
