necessary to call upon
others for assistance.

Love of self-government, plus fighting pluck, both of which are inherent
in the Muscular Irish race, are responsible for the long struggle for
their independence.

Likes Plain Foods

"Meat and potatoes" are the favorite diet of the average American
Muscular. The Alimentive wants richness and sweetness in food, the
Thoracic wants variety and daintiness but the Muscular wants large
quantities of plain food.

The Alimentive specializes in desserts, the Thoracic in unusual dishes,
but the Muscular wants solid fare. He is so fond of meat it is
practically impossible for him to confine himself to a vegetable diet.

When He is in Moderate Circumstances

The Muscular is most often found in moderate circumstances. He is
rarely far below or far above them. Most of the plain, simple, everyday
things he desires can be secured by people of average means. He does not
feel the necessity for becoming a millionaire to obtain comforts like
the Alimentive, nor for extravagances like the Thoracic.

When He is Rich

Philanthropy marks the expenditures of this type whenever he is rich.
He does not spend as much of his money for possessions but enjoys
investing it in what he deems the real--that is, other human beings.

The most plain and durable things in furnishings, architecture and
service characterize the rich of this type in their homes.

The World's Work Done by Musculars

Broadly speaking, the fat man manages the world, the florid man
entertains the world, and the muscular man does the work of the world.

He composes most of the day-laborers, the middle men, the manual and
mechanical toilers the world around, as we have stated before.

He could get out of his hard places into better paid ones if he did not
like activity so well, but lacking the love of ease and show he is
willing to work hard for the necessities of life.

Simple Habits

The Muscular's nature does not demand the exciting, the gregarious or
the food-and-drink things that lead toward laxity.

He is seldom a dissipator. He likes to go to bed early, work hard and
make practical progress in his life.

He leads the simple and yet the most strenuous existence of any type.

Entertainment He Enjoys

Plays about plain people, their everyday experiences, hopes and fears
are the kind that interest this type most.

The "problem play" of a decade ago was a prime favorite with him. He
