LNow medical sceince has come to the snpport of this way of resting and it is the proper one especially for middle-aged business men. A i-writer In the London Times goes a istep further and says that the only way to keep the middle-aged from Oolsonlng their bralus a for them to Sake a weekly vacation the year This writer claims that some of the seeming foolishness of big business men is not a sowing of lata "wild oats" but Is due to brain pol-isonlng because of an Insufficient cleansing of the many tissues and cells of the body. Must Stop Working The mental qualities which make for success in business depend on a sound (constitution, he says. More than that, depend on a well-cleaned, well-re freshed brain. The man who never stops working never can stop, he asserts; hs earns so little.

The big brains of business, on the other hand, often seem to work very little." You meet them not In offices, but on golf courses, in hotels, at pleasure resorts. In consequence foolish people say that the owners of these brains are Idlers and that business could get on perfectly well without them. Business, says the physician, despite such opinions, is not a matter 5f routine work. It is primarily a matter of what is called Instinct, or imagination. Both of these are gifts; but both are gifts which require a great deal of cultivation.

There Is 'nothing easier than the loss of them. clouded or choked brain ceases to be capable of the exercise of either. is not questionable In the doctor's view, when we come to examlns the nature of the mental processes fwhich determine success. They ap-'pear to be simple. They are, in fact, (enormously complicated.

When say of a man that he on the salient point in a situation or that he goes straight to the 'heart of a problem we mean that his has already tested all the other points and discarded them. We mean, In other words, that the action of his i brain Is exceedingly swift as well as -sure. Sound Mind In Sound Body The physician postulates that swift-brains are fresh brains, clean brains, i There are also brains, he says, that are unbiased by ulterior motives Youth, led by emotion, Is as a rule less reliable in this respect than middle age. Middle ags is the great age of brain. But the melancholy fact imust be recorded that middle age is ladso too often the age of brain poisoning.

I put the proposition another way: A clean, mature brain Is swift and It is constructive; It is sure. A poisoned brain is slow and hesitat EVERETT TRUE Readers of the suburban will ftm find news of IhHr town In otlw-r rolnmns of the paper an'Vr headings from thcirv towm hrn irnch nrwi Li too late for the regular column.

The work at present Is being done on the section toward Somerville, west of Middlebrook. Council Meeting Tonight The Bound Brook Borough Council will meet tonight in it ing; it cannot construct; It cannot be sure. The combination of these qualities spells disaster. For, if a brain has been accustomed to quick decisions and daring, constructive action becomes overclouded, the result inevitably Is recklessness and vacillation, or what is worse, recklessness and a stubbon Insistence on ill-conceived action, the writer asserts. Sometimes, until the crash comes, such brains are spoken of as brilliant." Kvery one knows this kind of brilliance, and every one who has had dealings with it fears it, 6ays the doctor.

Its leading characteristic is instability. Not the salient feature of a situation, but all the features are seen by it. Like lightning, it illumines a vista only to plunge it again In deeper darkness. The layman dis cusses such a brain in terms of com mon knowledge. But to the medical man its tragedy Is often too clear.

It is a poisoned brain. Its owner is an- unhealthy man. If we study him ws shall see. His muscular system is Irritable. Thsi controlled, steady movements of sound health are lacking; Instead there Is spasmodic, perky action, even tremu lousness.

Emotion breaks through on reasoned thought. There Is lnitabil ity of temper. Flushing of the face is frequent, wnen the moment of crisis has passed, a tendency to exhaustion Is evident. Threatens Middle Aged Brain poisoning threatens every middle-aged man, the physician de clares. It is the chief of all his ene-i mles and the mojst subtle.

For the poison does not usually come from without. It comes from the very tls-1 sues and cells which It destroys. Medical men call it "auto-intoxica tion." A simpler term is Insufficient cleansing. There Is a gradual, a very gradual, accumulation of waste pro ducts, the materials produced by for mer activity. Like a firs from which the burnt-out ashes are not entirely' removed, says the writer, the brain becomes more and more inefficient.

Office life, says the writer, helps the; poisoning process; muscular activity opposes It. The brain is swept This, is not the same process as occurs In sleep, where the brain is actually recharged. We are dealing with ths sanitation of the bouse, not with Its victualing. A wise man, therefore, who has passed 40 will admit of no reason why he should not devote time to keeping his brain clean, says the doctor. This Is a duty to himself, and If hs occupies a position of responsibility, it Is a duty also to his fellow-workers.

At least orte day a week, hs asserts. In addition to Sunday, is required for brain scavenging. Only ths gravest considerations ought to bs permitted to weigh against this allowance of 1 The writer points out that a clean brain on five days a week is Incomparably better than a poisoned one on six days or even on five and a half. If anything, indeed, hs urges, ths period recreation might bs extended. A man's work Is never measured by time alone; when he Is engaged In brain work time alone becomes relatively insignificant.

This is a difficult lesson to learn and to Inculcate, ths physician concludes. Until It Is learned ws shall contlnus to hear ths silly chatter about ths "idle leads" of great organisations.
