The National Disease Worry.


The breakdown in American life
comes from worry, and worry has al
most come to be a national disease. If
an American has no money he worries
himself into state of mind, and when
he gets any money he worries himself
to death for fear ne will lose It, He
worries at his work because he is
afraid he will not accomplish what he
Is given to do. He worries about his
meals; they are not on time, or they
may disagree with him, or they may
bee osting him too much. If he pays
for thing in advance he is afraid it
will not come up to the specifications,
and If he gets 1t on credit he is afraid
that he will not be able to pay for it
when the bill comes.
He is afraid to leave the money In
the house lest it be stolen. He is
afraid to carry 1t with him lest some
body should borrow it from him. He
is afraid to put 1t in the bank lest the
BAN. should fail. And SO ne worries
about it. He worries about his business
whether 1t is going smoothly or not.
He worries about his family, about the
education of his children and the pro-
gress they are making. He worries
about the Nation, about Congress,
about the two great political parties,
about the national conventions, about
the Gubernatorial elections, about the
tariff and financial questions, about
the initiative and referendum, about
Uhe abstract right of secession, about
the resolutions of '98. about the decad-
ence of politics. about the eivil-service
reform, about the future of Democ-
racy, about sanitation, the water and
gas questions, the paving of streets.
the street car system, the class OF
plays at the theatees, the nomination
for Mayor and the election of School
Visitor in the iSteenth Civil District
He either sleeps too much or he
sleeps too little. He has an idea that
life is conspiracy, and that he must
preserve eternal vigilance or the con-
splrators will get him. He lives so
much on his nerves that he gets angry
on slight provocatlon, and thus wastes
more tissue.
The true secret of health and life and
success is cheerfulness. Theman who
does his appointed task without being
fussy will live good deal longer.
Don't worry" and Don't be afraid"
are two very good rules to observe.
The American people must learn these
rules by heart and put them into prae-
