If we can find the correct answer
to this question WI are on the way
to length Of days and greater use
fulness. If years can be added, and
effective years at that, we have
increased the economic resources OF
the world.
During the tariff hearings in the
senate I have been more and more
impressed that human labor is the
chief factor in creating values. Raw
materials, which themselves are
produced largely through labor, are
multiplied in money worth by the
application of human sweat.
It matters not whether your work
is physical or mental, whether done
with your hands of your head, it
cannot be good work unless health
and vigor are back of it. The long
er youScan live and work effectively
the more you are worth to the
world.
If you fail to order your daily con-
duct so to guard your body against
disease you are unjust to yourself
and are cheating society. Unless
you manage your physical affairs
so that you may attain to the great
est possible Elective years you are
robbing the state Of what it has a
right to expect.
Bear in mind that feverish haste
in performing your tasks won't help
much. In the long run haste
makes waste" Hustle, hustle, slap,
bang-these don't do. You may
make a lot Of noise, get red in the
face and drop dead from apoplexy.
You know the old fable of the
hare and the tortoise-the slow
moving turtle beat the energetic
hare. Just because he was on the
move, running and jumping. con
stantly in motion, the hare took it
for granted he would outdistance
the tortoise. But he didn't.
There are too many good people
who think they are SO busy with
their serious affairs that they have
no time for recreation. exercise. out
door air and sunshine. Fretting
themselves with the hustle Of daily
duties, they haven't time for change
Of any sort.
Almost invariably they will be
distanced by slower moving, more
deliberate, but, withal, more sensible
rivals or friends. If you would live
long and be effective while you live,
you must take time to eat, sleep and
invite your soul.
