m Effects of Worry,

The effect Of worry upon the in
ternal glands has not been fully
studied. Enough is known, however
to assure the physician that it affects
the secretions of these glands very
seriously through the sympathetic
nerves. 1t thus becomes an important
agent In producing exophthalmic goiter
and a train of other Ills that can only
be defined when the real functions
of the glands in question are more
adequately studied.

Unprecedented Wholesale

Columbus, O., Dec. 2@The United

While portion of the prosperity
is attributable to the war and its at
tendant demand for supplies of all
kinds, business experts see in this
only a small amount and they see
logical ground for business joy and
optimism for the future.
Ohio statistics show increased bank
clearings, larger postal receipts, and
industrial activity. In Toledo a can
vass of 3S Incorporated companies
showed gain in dividends over last
year of $1.411, ,495. Columbus shows
an unanswered appeal for labor with
increased financial dealings and prof.
its all along the line. Cincinnati's
normal business is likened to the
rush Of the holiday season at its best.
In Youngstown and the Mahoning val.
ley every plant is operating at it's
maximum capacity. In Cleveland
claim is made for the best business
of the state.

Excitement

Farmers in Morgan township have
been considerably excited the past
few days by the appearance of live
deer in the neighborhood. There have
been numerous chases to capture the
animal which has successfully arisen
out of corn shocks, been seen skirt
ing the edge of the wood and running
wild through the fields. The pros
pect of capturing the deer has been
very enticing, but all attempts have
failed.
And now it appears that. instead of
a wild member of the species, the
deer chased is none other than one
of trio which escaped from the
Lakeholm estate, ]. B. Foote. owner.
Two were caught, but the third ran
away and caused enough comment
and excitement to provide stove talk
for the entire winter.
