WorrYlnQ.

II is fool who constantly worries.
Along with worry goes pessimism, dis
enlargement, downheartedness, lack
of ambition. No man, however ener-
getic, can worry much or long without
losing his energy and becoming Ill.
Worry, after causing a mans mental
collapse, will seriously affect his physi-
cal health, and the days of man with
mental and physical health gone may
be recorded in small numbers. III you
are worrying over conditions that can
not be altered, you are also wasting
time get busy and alter them. You
think you need a change. You can
get ii without trip to some distant
country. Change your habits OF occu-
patton. Take up some form OF light
and pleasant reading in the evenings.
Get interested in some fad that Will
give you a chance TO get out OF the
rut and become enthusiastic about
something besides making money or
losing it, No man can think constant
ly about his business without coming
TO brood over il and worry, declares
the New York Weekly. Your mind
must have rest and recreation. 1t
needs it just as much as your body
does. A simple determination not to
worry will not usually be sufficient.
There must be a positive effort along
some different line of thought. Be-
sides deciding not TO think OF your
cares decide that you will think OF
something else, and find something
else 10 think of. You surely have in
terests in life other than money-mak-
ing, if you would cultivate them lit

There is a new humanism in the world,
which is surely spreading abroad. This new
humanism recognizes the fact that to know
and understand living men, both individuals
and nations, is a great part of any complete
education. This humanism tinges all of the
social and the international striving of our
time. 1t tinges our education. We live al
ready in a world in which men are trying to
understand one another. Men are trying to
understand their neighbors, and that is the
better part Of democracy. Men are trying
to understand other peoples and nations, and
that is the foundation of our new world
