Why Worry?
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

7 in fear lest it begin TO ache and thus
I cause you suffering You worry your
self into a state OF weak receptiveness
I where pain and tangled nerves may
have fuu sway You imagine how
] dreadful the pain viii be when it comes
All worry has as poisonous an effect
as this Never was there wiser motto
than this one popular a few years ago
I 4 have had many troubles in my life
and most OF them never happened
Troubles are always worse in antici-
patton than in fact Sorrow. suffering.
. poverty, shame-any evil that befalls
you-can be endured when the time
comes for facing T.. Strength is found
for facing reality-Or else one goes IN
der and is finished But for the waste
ness Of fitting at shadows, there is no
remedy-except Just 70 stop
Worry Hastens Trouble.
Worry brings trouble nearer. makes
il happen sooner. clouds hours that
might wen have been sun filled, weak
ems the power OF enduring when real
trouble arrives Worry nets you no
gain. gets you no power. There is
never an antidote for worry in action
OF a useless sort II never sauely
works out methods OF avoiding evil It
is just flustered fright that cannot take
proper precautions TO prevent harmful
happening
Why worry? There are many things
IN life that cannot be changed and that
must be endured. Winter is bound TO
have billiards.; summer is sure to have
scorchinC sunshine. but against facts
OF climate and natural phenomena.
against strong physical reactions and
fatigue and pain and hunger and thirst.
worry viii not avail you
Suppose you have not been sleeping
well; suppose you have an uncomfort-
able habit OF blushing, suppose you are
tongue tied in company; one Of these
things Cor others even more annoying
viii work you any great harm Men
have lived TO be so years OF age and
have been sound and active in spite OF
not sleeping four hours a night on an
average for 80 years
People who blush or are tongue tied
and awkward in company often win
friends through their very simplicity
and shy sweetness.
I know a man who for 10 years was
a merchant prince" During all that
time he made himself miserable worry
ing about the possibility that he might
starve in garrett some day. Recently
he met with financial ruin His worry
ins had not impelled him to take pre-
cautions or save FOR " a rainy day But
his worrying had clOuded the 10 years
that might have been happy.
Why worry2 There is no force for
good in worry; no impulse TO ward off
evil; no strength to combat danger.

your personality TO evil it wears Won
out anticipating suffering, so that you
are not strong to combat il II come il

which calamity flOurishes-
Get Rid Of Trouble.
When you have trouble that can be
met by action or Warded OFF by fore
sight by all means act and plan. When
You suspect or imagine an unpleasant
possibility. why brood over it until you
have manufactured your own little 'oid

society, of your own personality. why
