VEN the most smoothly running Smith may develop occasional slight defects, may need running repairs. Here are some of the commoner defects and their first-aid treatment. The intention is not to help him to dispenso with his doctor, but to use a doctor's expert advice to even greater advantage.
Common ailments of the digestive tube are: Indigestion, constipation, toothache, tonsillitis.
Indigestion is not a disense but a symptom.. a red flag. Three things may cause it--in this order of frequency-chronic worry, faulty eating. habits, disenac.
Nine times out of ten indigestion is due to worry. So Smith should prescribe, for himself peace of mind, at least immediately before, during and after meals:
AD eating habits are: cating too much

meals), oating too fast, too hot, too cold, when fatigued, when without appetite, when teeth or tonsils are septic.
Remedy is to eat regularly, but keep the appetite sharp. If Smith has little appetite, let him take sweetened fruit-juices or milk with plain biscuits instead of a meal.
If Smith likes to fast occasionally, he should take a sweetened drink every three hours to prevent harmful effects. A complete fast is not good for any one.
Ho should get up from table feeling not hungry, but sufficiently, comfortable to be able to work immediately.
Symptoms that suggest disease.ant

Smith's
running repairs
What a wise Smith
should do when the wear-
and-tear of living causes a breakdown in his machinery
How is
an
idea born?
THIS streamlining of the imagination
anema to me the most, difficult part of Smith's problem. If the human mind were incapable of imagination we should still be living in conditions identical with those of our primitive ancestors.
All progress in material civilisation, in arts, literature, philosophy, science, is due to the men who "could think of something clan". Their contribution may have been amall. They had possibly only one idea to contribute. Doubtless man had discovered how to move heavy objects by means of round logs long before the wheel was invented.
Think of the greatness of that inventor who had the idea of cutting a circular disc
ir
from the end of the log, making a round hole in it, and fixing an axle to his cart.
By what mental processes and by what gift does a man "think of something else"? An honest confcasion by men of genius,' telling how they blundered through to their most brilliant discoverica, would be of in- tense interent.
One necessity is concentration-not a deliberate conscious concentration, which I belleva to be impossible-but a concentra- tion which is as unconscious and inevitable as the living. functions of the body.
,
You do not tell a young man that in order to be in love he must concentrate on the image of his beloved. If he is in love ho cannot help concentrating.
My Aberdeen terrier has a capacity- which I envy-for concentrating his whole mind and being on a piece of cake just out of his reach. If a man deliberately makes an effort to concentrate, he is thinking about the act of concentration, not about the thing on which he wishes to concentrate.
It is said that a famous chemical for mula was first visualised by the discoverer when he was gazing half asleep at the ulawing coale of a fire. Science would never have progressed on the lines laid down by Bacon; the idea comes first, then the experimental notification.
Where and how does the idea originate?
