1t is necessary to work under
presstre but this can be most
damaging. Also 1t can become
a habit. Men who feel that
they must take their work
home every night and must
work most Of every week end
might do as much work, and
work Of q higher grade, IL they
took time out for rest and re-
taxation.
This is the opinion Of many
Of the medical directors Of our
large corporations. Some Of
them go so far as to say that
they have observed the bad
effects of constant overtime on
Y an entire department, not only
on health but on the grade of
work. l''.
Most Of the time the "con-
slant pressure" life is a habit,
not an essential. The man VINO
has gotten into this rut should
realize that his health will not
stand 1t permanently, that he
Is missing a great deal of hap
piness, and that he will be a
miserable soul when he retires.
The way to break this habit
is deliberately to see to it that
he saves some time during
each "a hours. not only for
adequate sleep but for rest and
relaxation. Medical directors
do not mean to indicate that
the man should indulge In q
mad social whirl but rather
that he should have time for
hobbies and the outdoors and
exercise and pleasant restful
companionship.
When men take up exercise
they are apt to do 1t too
strenuously. They should have
a physical checkup and in
uulge only In the exercise
which is suited to their in
dividual physical m q keup.
However, most men get too
little physical exercise in their
work and do need some mild
ones to take regularly.
Overweight Is one Of today's
great health hazards. Tomor-
row I will continue my '"Tubby
