.Hn,y to Cure WorrY.-

Many persons would be only too glad
to hear. of cure flor worry. The Picca-
dilly Magazine has a contributor who pro-
fesses to have solved the problem, ana
gives the remedy, which Is as follows:.
1.-The psychological basis is what is
known as the law of attention. the, ply
sio!ogical basis is in the undoubted con-
troll of the body by the mind through
the nervous system. This is the formula:
When the symptoms of worry begin TO
manifest themselves. when your MIND
gets to dwelling upon some one troubling
matter with feverish insistance, when you
find yourself depressed or irritable or
oyerstrunS, or full OF foreboding, then go
into your room and lock the door. For
the first application of this prescription
YOU must be absolutely alone and In
silence After while you may be able to
make these conditions for yourself any.
where, by the complete withdrawal OF
your mind even in the midst of a crowd;
but at first you must be quite alone. Loo
sen your garments completely, lie down
{ in the most restful position you can as
sumo; avoid resting the head too high,
thus crampng the neck and impeding
the circulation. Now close your eyes for
a few minutes, and raising the arms, let
them fall and lie loosely and naturally
above YOUR head. Lie thus for minute
or two, and then begin to take deep. long
breaths, as deeply as possible exhalinS
quietly and naturally. Keep this up for.
five minutes, until you are sensible of a
real relaxation and refreshment of the
body. You will then be in the physical
condition to take up the mental work
which YOU need to do

Use Millions OF Eggs.

An English statistician has estimated
that the use of eggs in the united kingdom
amounts TO about forty-two eggs per year
for each head of population. But accord.
ing 10 available American statistics this
would be altogether too low an estimate
FOR the consumption in this country.
When one begins to figure on the prob
able egg production in the United States
startling figures are encountered. SzI.SS
Considering that population of about
4 900. COO people is served with eggs from
the receipts at New ork city, the con-
sumption In that vicinity would seem to
be about $50 eggs per year for each per-
son Probably this Is a greater average
consumption than would be found to pre-
