Work and Worry.

Work and worry have been the two
favorte causes assigned from time
immemorial for the breaking down CT
mans physical and mental organza-
ton. The great responsibility of the
first of these causes for the shorten
ing of mans life it is true has been of
late year vigorously denied. EXper-
ience, it is claimed, shows that com
pie rest from work in many cases
rather hastens than delays death, and
the perception of this fact has mater
tally affected the old practice of retlr-
ing from business when a competency
was acquired The examples of Wig
orous activity in public affairs afford
ed by the aged Gladstone and the still
more aged Pope Leo have convinced
many that work is a good thing fer
people of all ages, and the many
deaths which have followed very
closely in the cases of these who, after
leading an active life have suddenly
quit all work and business, have con-
duced to teach the same lesson. OF
course. excessive work is bad fer per-
sons of all ages, but hard work and
plenty of work does net necessarily
lot of folks who, however, class all
kinds of work under the same caption
and act as though they thought any
reasonable occupation was detrimental
to health, and they devote all their
time trying to do nothing When ask
ed for a reason they quote the old saw
about work and worry being danger
Gus to life's duration. Many such, it
may be observed, have filled early
graves or asylums.
There are many who,' while agreeing
to the desirability CT work as a pro-
moter of health and longevity, will
nevertheless hold firmly to the belief
that worry is mighty factor in reduc-
ing mans length of days They are
particularly strong in their belief that
it causes mental disorders which
break down the physical system and
greatly curtail mans life. But this
popular modern idea that worry is at
the bottom Of most of the nervous
troubles of the present day is negative
by the observations of DR.. Clouston, of
the Royal Edinburg asylum. In an
address at the annual meeting of that
institution recently he held that pure
ly mental and moral causes played a
comparatively small part in the pro-
duction of insanity, as compared with
causes which were bodily and physical
The remainder of the greatmass of the
cases were due to causes acting upon
the brain through the body-drink,
faulty development, gross brain dl-
sease, strong hereditary predisposition
and such like causes, and as showing
how mental troubles were caused by
bodily disease. he said that the recent
epidemic OF influenza had caused more

insanity than all the public and pri-
vate anxiety in connection with the
war
In commenting upon this British
medical authority says: "These re-
marks have a very definite bearing on
preventive measures. Without doubt
the present generation is apt to coddle
its nerves, and almost to plume itself
on the delicacy of its organization. 1t
is widely held that so great is the in
| fluence of worry in the production of
nerve disease that those prone to ner-
vcus breakdown should be in every
way protected from irritating and dis
turblng influences. The medical pro-
| fession is not entirely without blame
in this matter. The phrase, 1T is
worry, not work, that kills. has re-
ceived high and wide professional san
ction, and it is to be feared that we are
far too ready TO prescribe a placid
mental life rather than rigid bodily
| regimen"
| There would seem to be much that is
worthy of consideration in this. Com
plete rest for the bodily members it is
known does not conduce to their
Strengthening or to the general long
evity OF the whole physical organiza-
| ton. The same it is reasonable to as
sumo may be true of mans mental or
ganizaticn. Parts OF The latter are ex-
ercised by anxiety and worry which
are left dormant when such is absent.
| The exercise of these parts may
strengthen them and the whole mental
organization, while complete rest for
them may have the contrary effect. 1t
is known that many have been aroused
| from leading a quite and valueless life
tO important achievements by the
very and anxiety suddenly thrust up
on them by a change of circumstances
which deprived them of the mental
physical rest they had been accustom-
ed to. Great men whose lives were
innumerable worries have lived long
and died in the full possession of their
faculties Shortened years and insan-
| ity have as rule come to those only
who have abused their physical consti-
tutiCn by eXcesses and not because of
worry or work. The old adage which
says there will be sound mind in a
sound body finds ample confirmation
in DR.. Clouston's observations and his
conclusions ought to be treated with
respect. These are, that the only two
great methods to lessen nervous dis
turbances are to live according to
physiological and moral law, and to
arrange suitable marriages-Pitts-
burg Times.

Two Good Verses to Paste in

Below are two verses, very practica
in their nature, which the younger
scholars in the public schools are
learning to sing, and which it is to be
hoped they and others will carry into
effect.
The children are to sing them Fri
day to the time of Baby Mine"

Neighbor mine, neighbor mine.
In the wind it cuts caper,
Neighbor mine, neighbor mine.
Down the street it madly courses,
And should fill you with remorses
When you see IL scare the horses,

The Slump in Oil.

Though ii was hardly to be expected
that the springtime season of activity
in the fields and the season also of les
ser consumption of Illuminating oils
should be ushered in without some
weakening in crude prices, there has
been less cause this year than for
many years past to anticipate such
abrupt breaking of prices as has al
ready occurred. If it is conceded that
the prices until recently maintained
were justified by the conditions of sup
can be seen in these conditions to pus-
tify the late drop in crude prices.
There are reports of increased pro-
ducton in Russia, Japan and Sumatra,
but these reports have often done SER
vice before, and at present need be CIV
ell little consideration. With what
ever causes to which the recent cut
ting of crude prices may be ascribed
K will be well to include the fact that
the Standard appears to have let up
a few weeks ago on the purchase of
producing properties.
The prices were growing sitter,
Producers were manifesting less dis
position to sell either their producing
properties or their oil in the lines.
Desiring mere of both it was policy for
the Standard to take the course it has
so often found effective heretofore
to depress prices, and provide for the
season of heavier consumption by re-
plenishing in part at least the stocks
which have been drawn upon so large
ly within the past year. The decline
in prices will, no doubt, have the de-
sired effect.
Producers who would not sell at
$l.6S and s1.7O will unload readily at
10 cents per barrel less. The query
as to what trade conditions have in
huenced prices is largely an idle one.
The producer is in a position similar
to man who can but stand with his
hands in his pockets, watching his
house burn down, unable to do any
thing but inquire, How did it catch?
Such knowledge may afford little
satisfaction; but it neither saves his
home nor warns him when another fire
is fmminent.-New York Petroleum

Griffin Is the Man.

Toledo is very sore. OF course, over
the failure to get a centennial appro-
priation. This is net at all surprising.
To start out with movement to get
a million dollars, and with some hope
of getting that immense sum, and then
end up with nothing, Is coming down
from the rosy clouds with q resound-
ing thud.
Naturally the next thing is to find
some one who is responsible for this
awful fall-down and give it to him
good and hard. Right here is where
Toledo may make very great mis-
take. Let her be careful whom she
picks on for her revenge. Let her go
slow enough TO be sure and settle on
the right person or persons, so as not
to Jump on an innocent person.

ready apparent that Governor Nash
and his friends are the guilty parties

tration" is getting slapped for its So
called hostility that it is claimed fl
nally defeated the whole centennial
project
Now there Is where the Dispatch
thinks that Toledo makes vital mis-
take. The man who is almost If not
entirely responsible for Toledo's fail
IN or oil for tha
centennial is none other than her rep
resentative, Mr.. Griffin, the author
and promoter of the million dollar
grab bill. If Mr.. Griffin and his asso-
ciates had started out with a fair APP
peal for half a million dollars; or IT,
having started out for a million, they
had been willing to compromise and
accept half a milliCn dollars; or it,
having shown such a determination to
ride rough shod over all opponents, to
style all who spoke of half million as
fees of the centennial, and to bulldoze
the legislature and the governor to
surrender when they cried out, Hold
up your hands," if they had not knif-
ed every measure which they thought
might conflict with their grab; in 9TH
er words, if they had only been decent,
and fair and sensible, Toledo would
new without the slightest doubt be
going on with her centennial prepara-
lions with at least half a million dol
lars in sight from the state, and posi-
)!y three quarters of a million,in stead
If having nothing and abandoning the
whole enterprise.
Mr.. Griffin is the man chiefly respon-
sible for the centennial failure. Let
Toledo take it out on him if she must
take it out on somebody.
