II means to children to be brought up N
such an atmosphere!
Fear has even caused disease and
death. Authentic cases of fear turning
the hair white in a single night are on
record. II also has caused paralysis.
In other cases Il has opened n way for
the invasion Of disease. We know fear
blanches the face. 1t causes a contrac-
tion Of the muscles Of the blood vessels
which does not allow the blood to now
freely. Fear has caused disease by this
same contract of the blood vessels.
Whenever an epidemic Of any disease
appears in a town. there are some who
contract the disease because they are
afraid of It. When the blood vessels
are contracted or paralyZed by fear, the
blood is unable to do its work properly.
II cannot carry enough oxygen and food
to the tissues. 1t cannot carry away the
waste products AS a result, the body
becomes clogged with impurities and
cannot resist the attack Of the invading
army-disease. 1t is like a machine
that has become rusty and therefore un-
able to perform its functions
Many people are incapacitated for work
half their lives on account Of being
afraid of disease or accidents.
Whatever makes one happy relaxes the
blood vessels and causes a more free
current of blood. The old saying, Laugh

If you want to get well, forget to worry
about i'll health, think happy thoughts,
and allow your mind to dwell on the
pleasant things of life. Never allow
fear to gain an entrance.
Worry an Enemy of Beauty.
Fear is an enemy to beauty. Worry is
rapid wrinkle maker. No one can be
beautiful whose face is lined with worry
wrinkles. The best remedy for smooth
ing out the wrinkles is to forget to
worry. to think beautiful thoughts, and
to look forward to happiness. This, with
plenty of fresh air and cleanliness, will
bring better results than all the cold
creams and plasters on the market.
Worry will form wrinkles faster than
massage can iron them away. II you
want to be beautiful, put all worry and
fear away. When you nave done this,
the first milestone has been passed.
AS a man thinketn, so he Is" All
your thoughts are scattered out upon the

Whatever you SOW. that shall you reap.
No one who continually thinks poverty
ever became rich. No one who allows
her mind TO dwen continually upon her
lack OF beauty ever becomes passabIy
good IeoKlng. NO one VINO allows ner
mind TO dwell upon her i'll health or her
feeble strength will achieve health or
strength.

OF ner life, who would have happiness,
