ing but what he does have will be in order.

But the pure Cerebral's furnishings--if he is responsible for them--will
be an indifferent array, with no two pieces matching. Furthermore,
everything will be piled with newspapers, magazines, books and
clippings.

Often Die Young

"The good die young" is an old saying which may or may not be true.
But there is no doubt that the extreme Cerebral type of individual often
dies at an early age.

The reason is clear. An efficient but _controlled_ assimilative system
is the first requisite for long life, and the pure Cerebral does not
have an efficient one. Moreover, he is prone to neglect what nutritive
mechanism he does have, by irregular eating, by being too poor to afford
wholesome foods, and by forgetting to eat at all.

Physical Assets

By reason of his deficient physicality the Cerebral can not be said to
possess any decided physical assets. But two tendencies which help
decidedly to prolong life are under-eating and his refusal to dissipate.

It has been said many times by the best known experts that "more deaths
are caused annually in America by over-eating than by any other two
causes." Under-eating is a very necessary precaution but the Cerebral
carries it too far.

The Cerebral, lacking a large alimentary system, is not tempted to
overload his stomach or overtax his vital organs. And because he is a
highly evolved type, possessing little of the instincts which are at the
bottom of most dissipation, he is not addicted to late hours, wine,
women or excitement.

Diseases He is Most Susceptible To

Nervous diseases of all kinds most frequently afflict this type. His
nervous system is supersensitive. It breaks down more easily and more
completely than that of the more elemental types, just as a high-powered
car is more easily wrecked than a truck.

Music He Likes

"Highbrow" music is kept alive mostly by highbrows. While the other
types cultivate a taste for grand opera or simulate it because it is
supposedly proper, the Cerebral really enjoys it. In the top gallery at
any good concert you will find many Cerebrals.

Entertainment He Prefers

The serious drama and educational lectures are other favorite
entertainments of the Cerebral. He cares little for vaudeville,
girl-shows, or clap-trap farces.

The kind of program that keeps the fat man's smile spread from ear to
ear takes the Cerebral to the box office for his money.
