It is only if in some way we “TWO LIFETIMES IN ONE.” If you want to read a book on “How Never to Be Tired and Have Energy to Burn”, get an dread Marie Beynon Bay's fine treatise on “Two Lifetimes in One.” It might change your life. Here are some excerpts from its more than 300 pages of intensely interest- ing, graphic material: “Why is it necessary to speak of these things in a book on fatigue? Be- cause I have yet to meet the psychia- trist who does not base his cure on the inculcation of moral principles, on ethics. No evangelist could preach more earnestly the necessity of good life. He insists, with all the fervor of which he is capable, that we substitute new and better standards of conduct for the shaky ones that are breaking down under us and causing our col lapse. He reiterates over and over that we must found our conduct on sound moral principles, not simply because they are moral, but because they are NORMAL. Certain actions are not bad because they are forbidden us; they are forbidden us because they ave bad for us. The vast majority of men are good and want to be good. When they are bad it makes them tired. They have’ always been criminals and, tyrants of terrific energy. but for most men that isn't possible. They are not so con! stituted that they can run counter to the principles of goodness and not suf- fer—and first of all by a loss in drive. The vitalizing emotions can be ar- oused by a good philosophy of life. We all have a philosophy of life. We have | it whether we are conscious of it or not, whether we can put it into words! or not. We act according to it day of our lives. We all have a philos but toc often it has been h y and careless- ly thrown together and before w half-way through the journey of life! the poor, unseaworthy craft goes to pieces, leaving us clinging to a few spars. Nothing that may be wrong with us, ' the psychiatrists tell us, can be chang- | ed until, perhaps in only some minor way, we change our philosophy of life. The psychiatrist in chief of one large institution summed up the sit- uation in these words: “Our job here is to get these people to take a differ- | fy Ww Goi ' nd le.

Not the minds the insane, | but their characters, have broken down. Their philosophy of life has led them to take the wrong attitude toward people and their own personal problems. The test of the worth of our philoso- phy of life is this: What do we con- sider to be the goal of life? Is it money? Is it our own selfish happiness at any price? Is it fame? Is it the satisfaction of the senses—is it pleasure—is it social position—is it power—Or is it to make the world a better place to live in? Is it something we want to give the world instead of something we want to get out of it? Is it the happiness of our children— perhaps of all children? Is it to strive for peace or better living conditions for the underprivileged or even to make some one person happier than he would be if we were not here? It seems that society is so construc- ted that if our goal is purely selfish it has no use for us.
