Matter Of Worry.

Don't worry!
Nothing will undermine your ply
steal system to such an extent-fre-
Quently the blow most dreaded never
falls and If it should, the advance
worry will not lessen its sorrow but
simply weaken your power Of meeting
it.
1t is the opinion of people who have
given the matter considerable thought
that worry is habit and one to which
womankind is especially prone. This
may be accounted for by the fact that
men are so busily occupied with i'm
portant happenings that incidents
which they deem trivial but over which
women wear their hearts away are not
given a moments heed.
After all self-preservation IL the first
law of nature and the guarding of ones
strength quite an important duty. 1t
is time enough to face the sorrows
when they actually exist.
