Toms Bride seys I can see now why all my cakes fall. I must learn how to tell a egg laid on a fence from one laid off the fence. Gosh talk about yer funny questions. Tunis bride wanted to no why our white chickens laid brown eggs. Pop seys I guess Us gust a natural feminine Irate to be contrary. Toms bride seys I kart agree with yu.

ykONT worry shout brain fag. It to A- f a rare disease. And the chsaces are strong that yon will never get It There are a few overworked brains In the world. But for every overworked t rain there are at least two million underworked brains. And the man whore brain s overworked can usually afford to rest It by taking a vacation. The man with sn under* orked brain Isn't likely to save any mooey to spend os a vacatl<*. Your brain can stand a greet 3e*i more work than yau think It can. If you are anything like the average human being you are working It at about half Ita rapacity. The man who uses hto brain contlnnonaly. even while engaged on a difficult task, to nnusnal. Most of ns find plenty of excuses for resting—with the result thet the momentum to destroyed, and when we attack the Job we have to get up steam all over again. Among men who are really brain workerc, and who prosper because they are brain workers, there to very little fear, and very Uttle danger of brain fag. Worry wear* oat more brains than work. Worry comes ofteneet from Inefficiency, from the knowledge that the Job we are attempting to beyond our power*. le way to cure that to to make ourselves efficient, and the only method by which we can make ourselves efficient to by employing oar brains to their fullest capacity. If you use your brain tin It to tired. It will slow up and refuse to function saslly. That to plenty of warning, but you are not at all likely to reach that siege. Few men do. What to commonly called over work to, as a general thing, overworry. Avoid that. Avoid worry In any form, if yon can. But don't bother about overwork. The men who have done things In this world have always overworked. They wouldn't be successful if they hadn't. That la they have worked far beyond, the boors that the average man thinks ha ought to work. Peg away at what you are doing as hard as you can. Play in the meantime. and play hard. Keep your body In good condition and your mind will stand any strain yon are likely to put on It without any danger of breaking down. <e kr »
