Tells of calling Habit,

Here is a bit of good advice from a
domestic contemporary concerning the
'ailing habit" IF you are not
we'll don't talk about it. To do
so only exaggerates your conscious
ness Of physical discomfort. Also
it casts a shadow of gloom over other
people. They grow hesitant about ask
ing you how you feel; it gives them
cold chills to be continually told that
you are mot very well' or mot SO well'
or about the same" Do you know
that a good deal of this is imagination?
If you braced up and told people cheer
lily that you felt tip-top nine chances in
ten you would feel tip-top pretty soon.
You'd forget the ailing habit"
