That Poor Old Tired Business Man

By ANNA MARBLE

When will the human dray horse learn to conserve his strength for the added burden of old age ? Many a man who is a momentary miser may be a spendthrift of nervous force. The happy medium is, of course, the mean to be most desired—it was Aristotle who preached the desirability hundreds of years ago—but, of the two extravagances, the ovpr-expenditure of nerves must be deplored more greatly' than extravagance in mere money matters. Practically speaking, nervous waste is

money waste, to Idok at the commercial aspect only. The man who uses up his nervous force must pay for this in hard, cold dollars sooner or later.v this is why it behooves the much talked of tired business man to watch his nervous resources as he would, liis watch or his pocketbook in a crowd. j Americans waste their nervous energy in a mad rush to accomplish great things at, infinitesimal time expenditure. There is no gainsaying the preciousness of time, but of infinitely more value is the all too finite nervous force—the steam which propels the individual engine.
