The Cure for Worry

Worry Is one OF the worst cur
ses of modern ife. say of mo-
dern life, not because people a
thousand years ago did not worry,
because as civilization advances
men become more highly strung,
more sensitive and less capable
of detachment. Thus we often
say IN a very expressive phrase
that a thing sgets upon our
nerves" Something distressing
happens to US and we cannot
shake it off. Some one treats US
.rudeIy, harshly or unkindly, and
the word or deed rankles in our
minds. We think it over till it
is magniGed into a grievous and
intentional insult. We take it
to bed with US, and no sooner is
the light put out than we begin
to recall it and turn over in our
minds all the circumstances that
occasioned it. We sleep fever
ishly, haunted all the time with
the sense of something disagree
able. We wake, and the accursed
thing is still ranking in our
minds. This is one form of
worry, which is very common
among people of sensitive minds.
Another form of worry is the
tendency to brood over past err
rors. The business man or the
public man is suddenly over
whelmed with the conviction
that he has made an awful mess
of things. The worst of all Gala
mites is the lack of energy to
grapple with calamity, and in
most cases it is worry that breaks
down a mans energy.
A third and perhaps more COM
mon form of worry is the gloomy
anticipation of future calamities.
There are some men who, how
ever happy they may be to-day,
are perpetnally frightening them
selves with the possibilities of a
disastrous tomorrow. They live
in terror. When actual sorrow
comes upon US most of US dis
cover unexpected resources of
fortitude in ourselves. But moth
ing sickens the heart SO much as
imagined sorrow. Of this form
of worry we may well say, "It's
wickedl''
[ have no doubt that most of
my readers know by experience
what some of these things mean.
No doubt also many of them
have many real causes for anxi-
Gus thought, and they will ask
me how I propose to deal with
it. One of the best ways is to he
content to live day at a time.
Sydney Smith counsels US with
rich wisdom to take short views
of life. Each day is an entity
in itself. 1t is rounded off by
the gulf of sleep; 1t has its own
hours which will never return; it
stands separate with its own OPP
portunities and pleasures. Make
the most of them.
Another good and simple rule
is never to take our griefs to bed
with US. "Easy to say, but how
difficult to do" will be replied.
But it is largely matter of will
and habit.
John Wesley once said that he
would as soon steal as worry, for
each was equally a sin. To worry
is wasteful and foolish; we have

He was a self made man in the
best sigoigcation of that term.
He rose from the ranks to emil

From the time he left the ma
chine shop at Harper's Ferry until

We were opposed to each other on
political lines, but that did not

Homemade Beverages

During the holidays it is a pleasing
departure to substitute for the usual
cup of afternoon tea some other home
made beverage which partakes more
/ of festive nature. The table, too,
should have its touch Of holly or other
Christmas green and boast the dain-
tiest of crystal linen and other acces-
sories the hostess has at her command.
The appended recipes for home made
drinks will be found most delectable
for the purpose.
Yule Punch-To one pint Of straw
berry or currant syrup add the juice
Of five oranges. five lemons and one
can grated pineapple. Sweeten to taste,
adding cold water to make the mixture
the proper consistency and strength.
Turn into a punch bowl. add a lump OF
ice and garnish with Maraschino cher
ries. Serve in punch glasses with a
sprig Of holly tied to the handle OF
each.
For a special occasion this punch
can be served in an ice bowl. To make
such a receptacle. cut a square OF
clear ice and smooth the surface with
a hot iron; then in one side make a
cavity with a hot iron, large enough to
hold the punch. Cover a round tray
with a thick mat of absorbent cotton,
place the ice bowl on this and surround
with a wreath of holly or other Christ
mas green's.
Fruit Cocktails-To half a pint of
cherry syrup add the juice of an or
lange and Of half a lemon. Pare and
shred finely one large ripe pineapple.
Dust with powdered sugar and chill on
ice. Serve in cocktail glasses, putting
into the glass, first, a tablespoonful of
pineapple, then one Of the fruit syrup
and finishing off with a tablespoonful
of crushed ice. Either fruit forks or
long-handled spoons may be used.
Banana Cocktails-Cut thoroughly
ripe bananas into tiny dice; then add
by measurement two-thirds as much
lemon juice as there are bananas.
ISweeten to taste and chill. At serving
time. add iced water to make of the
proper strength. Serve in cocktail
glasses.
Cherry Cup-Press one quart canned
sour cherries through a sieve. Put
over the fire; add sugar TO sweeten.
When the mixture boils up add thick
ening OF one tablespoonful corn-starch
wet up with cold water. Cook until of
the consistency of cream, then take
from the fire and cool. Serve in sher-
bet cups putting into each cup a few
drops of lemon juice and a little shaved
ice.
Iced Chocolate-Make the chocolate
in the usual way and, when quite cold.
flavor to taste with extract of vanilla.
Serve in chocolate cups. First put in
to the cup n tablespoonful Of cracked
ice. then two of the chocolate syrup
and finish off with a garnish Of whip
ped cream.
Iced coffee may be served in the
same way and tastes very much like
coffee ice cream.
Strawberry and Orange Punch
Make a thin syrup Of one part sugar to
two of water. To three pints of syrup
add one, pint strawberry juice drained
from canned strawberries) and half the
quantity Of orange juice. Sweeten to
taste. When serving put two table,
