Worry wrecks more lives than work.
An outgrowth of one of the psychologi-
cal whims of the time is a claim OF
Don't Worry clubs. Without sub
scribing to all the tenets OF these Or
CARNATIONS, almost every individual
could better his condition by adopting
and trying to live up to their motto.
The substance of their belief is Beyond
dispute, and may be summarized n few
words: Worry never yet bettered the
condition of any individual; it eve
yet failed to make worse the condition
of the person given to worrying. There
ought not to be need of anti-worry So
cieties. The instinct for self-preser-
walton should array humanity In OPP
position to the adversary, worry.
