all the people of Serbia, whether young

GOOD ANALYSIS OF WORRY
Foolish and Altogether Too Prevalent
Habit Which All Should Strive
to Avoid.

We worry because we are afraid OF
something. Worry is fear Of the con-
sequences Of something that has oc'
Cured or something that may hap
pom. A curious thing about II Is that
II Is never associated with the imme-
date present 1t is generally In the
future, though sometimes In the past.
Animals and babies who are CON
scious Of nothing but the present can
not worry. AS all creatures. except
human beings, live only for the mo
ment, they do not worry because they
have no recollection Of what has hap
pened and can form no CONCEPTION o.
whah may happen.
Human beings having the capacity
70 look back or forward, mentally arr
susceptible to the fear that causes
worry, and as most persons live mor'
ID the past or future than in th'
present, this tendency affects 70

Deborah made no answer. She
could not yet trust her courage or

The judge, who was standing near,
concentrated his look upon her fea-

her eyes, searching her very soul, as
men seldom search the mind of an

DESTROYING the Mosquito.

The way to destroy the mosquito In
its larval stage is to pour little ker-

the surface and tries to force his
