THE WORRY EPIDEMIC.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Buffalo Times. says that worry ''is
the epidemic OF the day-an epidem
ic more widespread and deadly than
any pestilence that has ever afflicted
this long-suffering world"
Everybody worries these days and
yet we can see the uselessness of it,
The man worries about his business.
The woman worries about her house
hold. her children, her clothes. Worst
Of all, even the little children do not
escape worry-their lessons, their ex-
aminations. their little failures and
punishments at home or at school.
In order to realize the deadly ef
fects of worry we must remember
that all the various activities of the
body. breathing. digestion, blood cir
culation, elimination of waste and 80
on-that all these are under the i'm.
mediate control Of the nervous sys
tenn; asd that the nervous system in
turn is governed by the mind
Now worry is a kind of intellectual
pandemonium-a state of mental con
fusion. indecision and distress. Such
condition of mind throws the
nerves out of order and thus de
ranges the functions which these
nerves control.
Let US trace this in single case
Just as you are finishing dinner you
receive a telegram. You open it
You read: Father is badly hurt
Come home Immediately"
Your mind is at once in a state OF
great distress. You plan a journey
and so on. All the functions of the
body are disturbed. The gastric juice
several quarts of which were flowing
into the stomach, is at once stopped
The meal, therefore cannot be digest
ed and the whole mass breaks down
the putrifies. In the course of this
putrefaction certain poisons are
formed, some of which are exceeding
ly deadly. These poisons are alb
sorbed from the stomach into the
blood and carried by the blood II
every part of the system. They pro
duce wide range of symptoms, vary
ing all the way from simple head
ache or dizziness to sudden dealt
from what is popularity called hear
failure"
This is the effect upon only one
organ. The influence of worry upoI
the heart, lungs, liver and other or
gans is, however, just as direct ant
as disastrous.
Worry is a durable disease; but ht
who would cure it must cure himself
He must work out his own salvation
First of all he must realize that wor
~ is never of the slightest use; bu
that, on the other hand, by prevent
ing clear thinking, worry makes nat
tiers worse.

Although not wholly unexpected,
the information that Arizona now
leads the world in mineral production,
is great news. It's great boosting
dope; we can "get out and holler"
with the figures to back us up. It's
also a great argument for separate
statehood for Arizona. The copper
industry is one of the greatest in the
United States and one of the only
two territories within the confines OF
the union leads them all in the indus
try. We had Michigan beat in cop
per output before 1907. and now Mon,

And Globe can well feel proud OF
the record, for in this camp, the cur
