The Don't Worry Theory.

The usual advice given to the worrier is,
ssdon't worry" This advice is foolish, be-
cause impractical. No one can stop think
ing one type OF thought except by substi-
tuting for it another. Besides, it is
dangerous advice, for, even supposing one
could mechanically put an end to worry
ing state OF mind, he would simply be like
an engineer who should plant himself on
the safety valve Of his engine. The energy
expended in worry, turned inward on
itself, would tear the mental mechanism
to pieces.
No! What the worried man or woman
needs, evidently, is to be taught how to
find q healthful outlet for his or her
nervous power thus going to waste. II we
say, 'don't worry, F" let rs also be careful to
add, "but work !" and let US also point out
what kind of work should be undertaken
and the spirit in which it ought to be
done. In other words, what the worrier
needs is re-education. - Req. s. s.

BIRCH wooD.


came Of the Principal Uses Of This
SUI Valuable Tree.
The paper birch 10 . tree to which the
.v.raee person seldom has moro than
s.;ru introduction. The summer visi-
r. often gains fair acquaintance with
y. hark and learns that it is used for
.,;no canoes, baskets and similar orna-
...rtaI and useful articles. In some places
.he wood also supplies the local demand
for fuel.
-. knowledge OF the practical value OF
,,e birch. As matter OF fact, It is an
.ees;pgly important wood in 9 number
wood working industries, and there are
cer,ain articles for the manufacture of
,,hicb no satisfactory substitute has yet
been found.
The most important of these minor IN
dustries which are dependent upon paper
ai,ch ia the spool industry. Practically
every spool used in this country is made
from this wood. In the neighborhood
of 900 feet Of it, board meas
ure. are cut every year for this purpose,
and Of this about 100000 feet are shipped
% England in the form OF spool bars for
use over there.
insignificant as a spool may seem, its
manufacture is by no means an easy task.
From the tiny spools holding only 200
yards of thread, to the large, three-pi
ones holding 1900 yards, there is an
Utmost innumera BILE variety Of shapes and
sizes. Yet each OF these types must have
every single spool belonging to it precisely
identical.
In order that the thread may afterwards
he wound upon the spools without diff
fculty, accuracy in manufacture is
prime requisite. This necessity has led to
the invention Of q number OF very ingen-
ious automatic machines which not only
turn the spool with great accuracy but
also with great speed, some Of them at
rate Of a spool second.
In order that all OF the spools OF par
ticular type may be absolutely uniform,
the wood must be thoroughly seasoned
before it is used and it must also be of
some species which holds its shape after
il has once been seasoned. Paper birch
possesses this quality to . large degree.
and this is one thing which adspts it so
well to spool manufacture.
Another thing is the fact that it is hard
enough not to be easily dented, while at
the same time it is not too hard to work
easily. It is a wood particularly adapted
to all sorts Of lathe work, and this is per-
haps its most important qualification,
since it turns readily and presents clean,
smooth surface. Various other woods
have been tried a. substitutes for it, As
well as pulp and sawdust consolidated by
hydraulic pressure, but none of these have
as yet proved satisfactory.
Still another industry which uses moth
ing but paper birch is that OF the manu-
facrure of shoe pegs and shoe shanks.
These are used quite largely in this
country in making the cheaper grades Of
shoes; they are also exported to quite an
extent to foreign countries, principally to
Germany and Japan. The industry does
not consume so much wood as the spool
industry, but it Is nevertheless an impor-
tsnt one in the northeast, and helps to
make inroads into the forest.

Cant Stand TAFT.

Capt. William H. Robertson, for
thirty years q leader in the Republi-
can party at Danville, Va, and who
is presidential elector on the Repub-
lican ticket from the fifth Virginia
district, came out in a letter last
week repudiating Taft and announc-
ing his intention of supporting Bry-
an. He gives as his reason for leav-
ing the party that Taft is a Unitar-
ian. He says: "All the money IN
the world could not induce NE to
vote for a man who does not believe
in Jesus Christ" He speaks of Bry-
an as bting a Christian gentleman,
and appeals to all Christians to sup
port the Commoner. There are
many others who will take the same
view Of Taft as Capt. Robertson
does. They won't vote for him be-
cause they look upon him as an tn
believer. Everything seems to be
coming Bryan's way this campaign,
and we believe that he will be land
ed in the White House by the people

"Betsey Killed the Bar"

In speaking of the defeat of Blease
in Orangeburg County The State

1T has been suggested that the
