WORRY DOES KILL; IF PER.
SISTED IN IT BREAKS
DOWN THE MINUTE
CELLS OF THE
BRAIN.

Modern science has brought to
light nothing more curiosity IN
terestng than that worry will Kill.
More remarkable still, it has been
able 10 determine from recent dis
coveries Just how worry does kill.
1t is believed by many scientists
who have followed carefully the
growth of the science of BRAIN
diseases that scores Of the deaths
set down to their causes are due
to worry and that alone. The
theory is simple one, so simple
that any one can readily under
stand it.
Briefly put. it amounts to this:
Worry Injuries beyond repair GER
tain cells Of the brain. and the
brain heing the nutritive center
of the body, the other organs be-
come gradually injured, and when
some diseases of these organs OF
combination Of them arises death
finally ensues.
Thus worry kills. Insldiously,
like many other diseases, it creeps
upon the brain in the form of
single constant never lost idea,
and as dropping of wafer over
a period of years will wear
groove in the stone 50 does worry
gradually, imperceptibly and no
less surely destroy the brain cells
that lead all the rest. which are,
So to speak the commanding off,
GERS of mental power, health and
motion.
Worry. to make the theory still
stronger. is an irritant at certain
points which produces little harm
if it come at intervals or irregu-
larly. Occasional worrlment the
brain can cope with. but the itera-
ton and the reiteration OF one
idea of disquieting sort the cells
of the brain are not proof against.
It is as if the skull were laid
bare and the surface of the brain
struck Nightly With a hammer
every few seconds with mechani-
cal precision. with never the sign
of a stop or the failure of a stroke.
Just in this way does the annoy
ing idea. the maddening thought
that will not be done away with.

Climate Failed ,
Medicine Cured.

1t has been abundantly. shown that
rest. fresh air, and good food. do help
many persons suffering from tubercu-
losis. But, to be really honest it must
be admitted that the disease is seldom
more than arrested" Something more
is needed.

ed this disease again and again. Often
these cures have been effected where the
surroundings were not ideal, where no
Intelligent care was taken OF the patient,
where money was scarce. good food and
good cooking unusual-yet cures result

all need.

OF INTEREST TO THE FAR.
MERS OF LOUISIANA.

| According to information furn-
tished by the U. S. Department OF
Commerce and Labor, 6,527v6O0
gallons of cottonseed oil were
produced in Louisiana in 1909
This was worth approximately
$2.611,O4O This is a considera-
BILE amount Of money and the mar
vet which demands this product l.
an important one to the people
Of the state.
This fact has led men who wish
to see oleomargarine take the
place Of butter to make it appear
that the manufacture Of oleomar-
garine furnishes one Of the great
est if not the greatest reasons for
this market demand. But such is
not the case. In fact the value OF
the cottonseed oil used in the
manufacture of this product is SO
small in comparison that it is not
worthy of the least consideration,
especially when the value of the
dairy products of the state are
considered.
We do not have the statistics
for 1909 but in 1908 the value OF
the cottonseed oil used in the man.
ufacture of oleomargarine in this
country was $499. ass. AZ. The val
lie of all the cottonseed oil pro-
dnced in 1909 was approximately
500. 331 400. This means that less
than one per cent of the cotton
seed oil sold was used in making
oleomargarine.
According to the Department
report. Louisiana produced about
4 per cent of all the cottonsaed
oil produced in 1909. Using this
figure fir 1908 and We find that
the value of the cottonseed oil
used in oleomarearine returned to
the cotton farmers of Louisiana
the comparatively small amount
of $19.978.33.
According to figures compiled
by the q. s. Department of Agri-
culture, the value Of the butter
produced in Louisiana in 1908 was
81. 1927 .922. or for every dollars
worth of cotonseed oil used, in |

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
WORK.

Only a few years ago the edu-
cational world awoke to the fact
that "the child was in their
midst ITO be developed with such
an understanding Of his nature
that he would not be provoked
and discouraged by the adult
methods of looking at things.
Bishop Phillips Brooks has
said: "He who helps a child
helps humanity with a distinct
ness. with an immediateness,
which no other help given to hui
man creatures in any other stage
Of their human life can possibly
give again"
When We realize the great i'm
portance of understanding and
properly developing this child-na-
ture. we-as parents-will hasten
to cooperate with the teachers in
their efforts to improve school
conditions.
School Improvement League
work is yet in its infancy.
When three years ago. Miss

had its birth. Now. wherever a
good working league is in opera
ton we find conditions improved.
A efaan sanitary building with

to careless housekeepers in com

These are facts which the far
mers of Louisiana should careful
ly consider before they lend their
support to any movement which
discourages dairying An in
crease in the production of dairy
products in Louisiana will be just
&c times of greater value than an
