LABOR AND RECREATION.
Al! Work and No Play Producaa tha
Fatigua That Poiaona.
Men and women come In the morn
ing to their tasks with a spring of
fresh energy within them. Little by
little during the hours of labor they
empty that spring. When It Is dry
they must draw from forces which
should be untouched. By some strange
chemistry which no one understands
too well these Intrusions on the phys
ical force* which should be Inviolate
produce In the human system a truo
loxle condition—fatigue poison, auto
poison the scientists call it
If this fatigue .poison passes a pome
where the period of rest following Is
not equal to the task of throwing It oil'
and filling afresh the spring of energy,
the man goes back to his toil a little
unfit; the longer he goes on the more
unfit he becomes. Slowly the poison
Invades his system. The repairing
forces—food, relaxation, pleasures and
sleep—become less and less equal to
the task. The man becomes more and
more open to the attack of disease;
less and less able to do his work; un
fit to Improve upon It; unable to grow.
He Is an unsafe man, too, one not to be
trusted among machines In dangerous
places. The man has been poisoned
Into unfitness by the slow accumula
tion of fatigue poison which he couM
not throw off.
It-was not work which did this. It
wag too much work. He needed the
work to keep him fit Without it or its
equivalent, ft regular physical exercise,
his spring of energy would have as
sorely deteriorated as It did from over
work. The spring of energy standing
Idle would have soured within him.—
