DON'T WORRY.

One Of the alarming failings OF our
people at this time is <iie growing
habit OF worrying. Americans are
nervous race, and this ia q nervous
age. We are continually in a rush.
We live and have our being on per-
petual strain. Peace and repose are
at leisure, instead OF resting and build
ing upovertaxed vitality, we exhaust
ourselves in an effort to have what we
call good time. At night, instead
OF sleeping, we call up all the mistakes
and anxieties and perplexities Of the
day and think them over in every
disturbing light, thus creating SELF
| torture that effectually drives away
sleep, consumes vitality, wastes ner-
vous energy and adds innumerable gray
hairs and crows feet. > And all this
disturbing thought is not Of the least
practical value in dealing with actual
emergencies. Most OF the thinking
we do is nothing but worry; most Of
the misery we experience is imagin-
alive. We climb, in advance, many
hills that we are destined never to
reach. Rational thinking that pro-
coed some definite conclusion does
not wear the mind. 1t is health-giv-
ing, like rational exercise of any other
part Of the body. People who keep
in constant state OF uneasiness soon
become irritable, and iriitability is
the first stage OF nervous exhaustion;
and it sequires no slight effort to rid
oneself OF the. habit before it becomes
a disease. 1t is not necessary to quit
work. But the mind and muscles
must BE- kept relaxed, and mental
omposure and physical restfulness be
maintained. One must resolve to do
ones best and leave the consequences;
to reason ones self into content ed
frame Of mind; to quit hurrying; quit
being Irritable and petulant, and to
concentrate ones thought absolutely
upon the work in hand, dropping all
foreign lines Of thought; to move aud
speak slowly and quietly; to go to bed
simply to sleep and not to think, is
the only way to normal mental and
phy steal condition.

man talks about owning his business.
But, as matter of fact his business owns
him His whole life is regulated by the de-
mands of the business. The time at which
he rises, his breakfast hour, the time given
to meals, are all determined by business OBJ
legations. He rushes through lunch because
he cant spare the time from business" to
eat leisurely. He won't take rest because
he is needed at the store or office. He is in
fact an absolute slave to business. The re-
suits which follow this slavery are to be seen
on every hand. Men dyspeptic, irritable
nervous, with drawn faces and hollow eyes,
sit at the desk or stand behind the counter
until they collapse in fit of sickness, or are
taken away by heart failure. Those who
cannot escape the exactions of business will
find friend in DR.. Pierce's Golden MedicaI
Discovery. 1t strengthens the stomach, in.
creases the action of the blood making
glands, increasing the vitality and physical
vllgor. 1t makes men Strong and prevents
those business break downs which SO often
terminate fatally
