about the results as you would de-
cline to drink a draught Of poison.
Worry comes as an occasional visi.
tant to everyone, but as we shut
our doors to unwelcome visitors,
so we close the portals against the
entrance of worry. Admitted, it
ceases to be a visitor-it is a habit
and a habit that destroys. The
action of worry upon the brair
cells is most like the constant drop
ping of water upon a stone. At
first it makes not the slightest inn
preston upon the stone, but in
time it wears i away The cells
Of the brain are of more delicate
tissue, and the steady wear and
tear Of the extra blood supply in
time quickly wears them out.
Selected.

Parcels Post
Stamp Unnecessary

Since July first it is no longer
necessary to have a special stamp
on parcels post packages. No
parcels post stamps will be des-
troyed, but no more will be issued.
Until the present supply is ex-
hausted, they will be used for
parcels post packages, letters or
for any purpose that the ordinary
postage stamp is used.
This rule was found advisable
on account of the great amount VI
additional labor that was entailed
BY the system Of requiring special
stamps for parcels post packages.

Worry Kills

We have often heard that worry
can kill even the nine-lived cat
but we have only half believed it,
and until now we have had no
scientific proof that it was SO.
Medical science has recently. con-
firmed the fact and explained how
worry commits its murders. 1t
has reached the conclusion that in
many instances of what have been
regarded as lunacy, and from
which the victim finally dies, the
case has simply been one of acute
worry. Instead of the person
dying of mental breakdown, he
has worried himself to death.
Worry medical science now de-
fines,a as the dominance of one idea,
usually that of fear. There is a
fear of some existing condition, or
dread Of what may happen. The
idea crowds all others from the
mind, or permits them only the
feeblest and occasional activity.
The cure of the worry that kills
is prevention. Refuse to worry.
DO your best, and, having done
this, decline as positively to fret

FOOD ONLY HALF
!. LISTED AS FREE
Duty ON Products from Coun-
tries Which Tax Imports
from America.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Revising
their policy again, Democratic leaders
in the Senate have decided to put a
stock and grains, fresh meats, flour
and other grain products,
These agricultural products are to
be classed in the free list in accord
ance with the recent decision, after a
conference with President Wilson, but
they will be free listed with a string
to them.
A countervailing duty means that
the United States will charge on i'm
ports of cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat
-four and such products, duty COM
pensatofy to any duty they may be
charged by another country against
America on her exports of the same
commodities.
After Many Conferences.
This decision has been reached in
the Senate finance subcommittee in
charge of the agricultural schedule
after repeated conferences with other
members of the finance committee
and Democratic senators particularly
interested in agricultural raw mate
rial and products.
BY the imposition of the counter
vailing duty, the party leaders now
believe they will satisfy everybody,
farmers. millers and manufacturers.
since all are to be treated alike and
the farmer cannot claim that his live
stock and wheat are to compete with
that of such countries as Canada and
Argentina on an unequal basis.
Under the terms of such an arrange
ment as is now proposed, live stock
and grains will be admitted free from
countries which impose no duties on
their imports from this country.
Should Canada Argentina or any
country which now has such agricul-
tural products on the dutiable list,
determine to remove such duties at
any time, they automatically would
go to the unrestricted free list of this
nation.
Print Paper Problem.
Regarding print paper, which the
Underwood bill places on the free list,
but which certain Senate leaders
think should be given a measure of
protection as a retaliation for Cana
dian restrictions on wood and pulp, a
new idea has been suggested. In
stead of putting a fat countervailing
duty on print paper. as had been pro-
posed and urged by the manufactur-
ers, the subcommittee in charge of
the schedule has suggested incor-
porating in the bill a provision that,
unless restrictions on exports of wood
and pulp are removed within a GER
tain specific time, then a duty equal
to any export charges imposed by
any country Should be assessed. No
decision has been reached yet on this
point
