when Things Go Wrong,

Worry is the twin sister of nervous
ness. Neither should ever enter into
the daily life OF any one. God, in his
all wise providence. put the head of a
human being on top, that all beneath ii
might be subservient to 1t. There is
something wrong above the eyes, in
the region of the will power. when one
becomes nervous in the sense of excit-
ability. Know thyself'' is good; con-
troll myself is better. Worry and ex-
element never aided any one. Any
Tool can get along when everything is
all right, but IL takes a wise man, a
level headed man, to get along and not
worry or become nervous when every
thing is all wrong. = Ladies' Home
