DON'T WORRY CLUB.

William Muldoon, who long ago for
sock pugilism for a greater profession
in which he is a marked success, and
who now is widely known as "Ameri-
cas- foremost physical conditioner"
has laid down the maxim that irrita-
ton Of mind when long continued is
a sure provocative OF illness Of body. In
nine cases out OF ten, he declares men
who suffer from neurasthenia owe
their disorder to worry.
The best medicine in most cases Of
nervous breakdown. Mr.. Muldoon as
serts, is rest with change of scene.
Here are his words:
! am sorry 10 say that experience
has led me 20 believe that more than
one-half Of the cases that come under
my observation mean cases OF nerv-
Gus breakdown, which is not disease
but simply a mental disorder-are
brought about through lack OF Judg-
ment Of the victim and his family.
find in the majority Of cases that seem
very serious to those who do not un-
derstand that It is only necessary to
remove the patient from his surround
ings and separate him from his fam
ily-refuse him any telephone commu-
nication, no sympathy. no gossiping
and no correspondence, excepting now
and then a postal card or so 20 just
say. "Halloa, am well: how are YOU"
and in a remarkably short space Of
time the condition is beyond the
brightest hopes.
This is good advice, but there is one
thing better than cure-it is preven-
ton. What the famous trainer says or
the primary cause OF the vast proper
ton Of cases OF nervous breakdown
carries a message to every one in
this age Of high-pressure living. The
message Is avoid worry"
oh life is a river, and man is a boat
That over its surface is destined to
float,
And JOY Is a cargo so easily stored
That he is a fool who takes trouble
on board.
IL isn't the people who have the
most trouble in life that suffer most
from trouble-it Is those who fall into
the habit OF apprehension and worry
about trouble before IT comes. Very
often II never does come In the form

WoRKMeN,s COMPENSATION.

The report Of the employers liability
and workmen's compensation commits
sion is a valuable document and opens
the way for the enactment Of some
law that will automatically provide for
the compensation OF those workmen
who are the victims OF modern indus
try and who suffer accidents that re-
suit in either total OF partial disability.
II suggests a basis on which the in
dustry can recompense those sacrificed
10 Il.
The findings Of the commission indi-
cate the need for some law Of this
character. They show that there is no
adequate recompense at present and
that the money expended as a result Of
accidents goes in large measure not to
aid those in need OF IT but to fighting
the claims for Damages. In one year
81 is reported plaintiffs attorney fees
averaged 40 per cent in damage suits
brought by injured workmen and this
is only one half of the story; the en-
ployer also paid heavy attorney fees
and court costs. Thus Il Is evident

A New Marble Company.

The Vermont Italian Marble Co. is
the name under which a new marble
business will be incorporated to do bust
ness in Brandon. Sometime ago the
Cornell Brothers, who are successfully
opening a quarry near the old Goodell or
Selden quarry for the Clarendon Valley
Marble Co., prospected the farm of
Mott T. Warner, just north of the VII
lage. They were able to make reason
able arrangements with Mr.. Warner,
whereby they could afford to test the
marble deposits on his farm and find
whether quality and quantity would
warrant an outlay of money to open a
quarry. The cores they took out proved
good beyond the expectations of any of
the parties interested, in fact so good
that the Councils had no difficulty in
interesting capital. AS a result the
Vermont Italian Marble Co. will be
incorporated with Edwin Shuttleworth
as president and B. j. Connell super
intendent of the quarry. Edwin
Shuttleworth is man who knows the
marble business thoroughly from years
of experience. He is president of the
Edwin Shuttleworth Marble Co., of
Astoria, Long Island, and also presi-
dent of the Manchester Marble Co., of
East Dorset.
