TEE FUTURE BUSINESS MAN.

IMPORTANCE OF SOO'D lIEALTII. The importance of splendid health to the business man ol tlie future is emphasised by Air. li. li. Morgan in an article in the "CimllvJigc." Mr Morgan lays it down thai the basis of nearly all personal elllciency is lieaith. "The pilyniijue and stamina of the business man in days to come will play a more important part than ever, Energy, that very necessary quality in business, springs very largely Irom physical' fitness, and the greatest enemy of physical fitness is self-indul-gence. The majority of lis, deliberately, But perhaps ignorantly, over-indulge our appetites. Over-loaded stomachs are vesponsible for clouded intellects. Energy and enthusiasm —net the enthusiasm produced by temporary stimulation, but energy and enthusiasm springing from natural vitality, which is impossible without good health—will be absolutely necessary to the business man of the future. It is my belief that he will avoid stimulants during business hours, and will keep his body in such a state of fitness as to obviate their geftssitv. He will take larger ilosea than hitherJo '■ of recreation, fresh air and cleanliness. | Our future civilisation will have no place I /or drones or drunkards, for the strain ; ol modern business, largely improved | through better facilities for travel, will ! grow greater. The motor-car and the ; telephono have made it possible for tile I man of business to carry out six trans- ! actions to-day as against the one ot yesterday, aiul in [lie future the pcr- ! milage will be increased." Mr Morgan j expresses the opinion that there in not ! quite enough leadership and a little too much driving and iiirecLion in the business man ol the present. In the future he will be a real leader; his character will inspire loyalty, while he must always direct, lie »vili not always be directing. "One of our evils of our business of to-day is the lack of confidence reposed by the average employer in his umployees. lie tdii.uld remember that if you never trust a man in his capacity, enthusiasm, and belief, and, will become incapable of bcieg truisled."
