Worry is but one of the many forms

Is thus established vicious circle
which tends to perpetuate itself, each
element augmenting the other.

In the conversation at the table. The
very efforts and determination of the
man to correct his own silent habits at

selves a promise of success. The eff

the spectacle of that man trying to

Laughing is in itself also useful
exercise from the standpoint of diges-

creases the secretion of gastric juices.
Five minutes deliberate laughing after
each meal would be an excellent pre-

God came down to stop the work, a

therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000

and plunged it into the black and

discovered seven salt drops on its dia-

Thereupon YZanaGhi and his spouse
selected the spot Of earth which had
thus been created as their permanent
dwelling place and peopled it with in
