A WORRY CURE
A PhysIclan's Sensible Prescription 70,
the Eradication Of PernicIous :.

! once asked physician what cure he
could suggest for the worrying habit. Il
would prescribe common sense he said
land If man or woman hasn't got a
stock on hand and cannot cultivate one
the medical man Is powerless.'' This wor-
rying nonsense grows. The best means to
cure it lies in the hands Of the woman
herself.
Z If she win just call little horse sense
to her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble
to be cheerful and think upon the right
side of things, she will live longer and
be able to retain her beauty, Every
woman has the strongest desire to keep
her good looks. Why then does she take
the course which is sure to make her yell
low skinned dull eyed and thoroughly ln-
lovely?
The English woman is greatly admired
for her utter refusal to worry or to be
worried. Consequently she looks young
at fifty Undertaking no more than she
can comfortably carry out, and firmly be-
lieving In the coming of another day, she
does not procrastinate, but simply will
not let the domestic ma chinery grind her
down to i'll health and an early old age.
| She is a frequent bather and regards
her health as the prime factor of life, to
be looked after before everything else.
She sleeps nine hours and also takes a
nap during the; day, arranging her work
| in the most systematic manner.
Her little memorandum slip always
shows two vacant hours-they. are fol-

GRANTS JOKE ON 1YNER
How the President Once Asked Him
for His Resignation
..s.>- and Why. ..
Nav York Sun special Service.

New York Sun Special Service, .,~ r. g.
Washington. March 2l.-The reported
request for the resignation OF POSTMASTER
General Tyner recalls a, request made OF
him by President Grant which was a.
grim joke General Tyner was first as
sistant postmaster general IN 1870 When
Marshall Jewell, the Connecticut tanner,
was postmaster general. Jewell had been
allied with the Bristow reform element,
which tried to nominate the latter Tor
president, chiefly because he was sup
posed to have prosecuted the whisky ring
conspirators, despite obstacles piled up
by President Grants personal frlends ana
against the presidents wishes, .,
Only thoe who knew Grant best under
stood his patience with Secretary Of the
Treasury Bristow and Postma stera Cen
eral Jewell who, while sitting in his cab
met. were being glorifed as possessing
higher degree Of honesty than their presf
dent. After the election in 1875, President
Grant sent for Jewell: A few hours later
the latter told in a congressional commit
tee room what occurred when he went tc
the white House. AS he entered the presi-
dents room the president said to him:
please sit down at the desk and write
ro,,r resignation.'' Jewell did so., ask
ing no questions AS he handed it tt
the president the latter said: Thanl
you,' and bowed an unnistakable dis
1nissal from the room
A half hour later General Tyner arrived
| In the same room. To him Hike re-
quest was made. General Grant Offered
no word OF explanation to the dumb
founded first assistant postmaster general
| AS the resignation was handed to tn
| president the latter looked at Tyner witt
| a smile, and merely remarked that h
wanted to send his name to the senat
as postmaster general. General Gran
enjoyed Tyners confusion throughout tn
incident and also enjoyed telling Of it t
a few friends that evening. General Ty
ner served as member of the cabina
until the following March when Presiden
Hayes came into Office.

OF BOSTON TEAM

to Direct American
7'7s" League Club. s48

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 81. -
Athletic Manager Charles Baird re-
turned to Ann Arbor this afternoon
and announced that he will accept the
offer made him by Henry Killilea, own
er of the Boston American League
Baseball club to become business man
ager and financial secretary of the
club. Baird announced that he will
leave for the East in about two weeks.
While many college players have
Joined the professional ranks, If Baird
accepts it will be the first occasion In
Which a college manager has been Civ
en- a managerial berth with major
league club, and, owing to Baird's wide
acquaintance In college athletic cir
cIes, his aff1liation with American
<league affairs Will arouse considerable
interest throughout the country.
BairdS career sat Michigan has been
uniformly successful. In the old DAYS
of student control at Ann Arbor Baird
WAS student manager Of the football
teams in 1893t'94-'95, In 1895 bringing
outaa team which won the undisputed
championship Of the West, and was
defeated by Harvard at Cambridge
only by the small score Of too
In subsequent years, under the con-
stantly changing student control, the
finances Of the Michigan Athletic asso-
citation were at low ebb, and finally
Baird was called back to Ann Arbor
to become graduate director. He as
sumed complete control of all finances
Of athletics at Michigan In the fall of
1899, and has been in charge ever
since.
