Show 1 I Emergency Energy 1 B By JOHN BLAKE I IA A battleship in pursuit of an enemy can und under r forced Corcel draught greatly exceed its normal speed But the radius of action under forced draught is ir I limited Soon the fuel Is gone and the ship is useless a aa as asa asa a pursuer There are reserves of ot energy mental and physical physical cal In every human being When the tho time comes when extra effort is required re required re- re they may be called on Men have hwe been known to go many hours without sleep In wartime in other times when or great exertion ex eC was necessary and to have been none the worse for tor it But Dut after atter the crisis was over they had to re restore restore re- re store the reserve slowly To continue at such speed would have been fatal All great effort requires an extra push to get over o the top By keeping In good health doing a a. regular amount of hard work every day energy will be piled L Lup up and kept ready for emergency use But it must never never be be wasted or used too long at it a stretch And these reserves of energy so vital to men menat menat L at the Important times of their lives may be dissipated dissipated dissipated dis dis- dis- dis by bad habits even more rapidly than by too extended use The drunkard has no reserves Neither has the young man who sits up all night to play cards or talk tall and then depend on an hour or two VO of sleep to put him In shape for the next days day's work Overeating puts the digestive system out of shape and in a constant effort to restore it nature nature nature na na- na- na ture will soon use up the energy that ought to be stored away Sooner or later In every life lite the time comes when this extra energy is la needed Often viter the fact tact that it Is available will make the difference nc be between v n success or f failure in some very important activity It Is probable that most geniuses have bave drawn upon It while finishing their masterpieces CertaInly Certainly Certainly nothing really great was ever accomplished with the ordinary forces that men bestow on the routine work vork of their lives This is a top speed existence The deer stores up energy which he may need Med some day in a flight from a wolf He would joan foon oon fall fail one wolf to pick up uy the trail where another left it off otto He Is capable of a magnificent burst of speed but that will viII suffice to enable him to escape from only one pursuer The yo young yotIng ng human being stores up far more energy energy energy en en- ergy than he uses If he keeps leeps his mind and muscles muscles mus mus- musI I cles des in condition But there is a limit to reserve force He cannot cannot cannot can can- not store it up indefinitely as water Is stored in a a. grea great l' l dam Keep the reserve ready for the the spurt and when the time for tor the spurt comes it will vill be there Then when the big effort is over Dver let It accumulate accumulate accumulate late again But do not try to use it for days at a time or you will soon wear out and people will vIll say you broke down from overwork when It was merely from bad Judgment in employing the forces that nature gave you Copyright 1925 by the Bell Syndicate Inc |
