called nervous dyspepsia might better be
termed "worry dyspepsia. In the light
of what the psychologists have found it is
impossible FOR worriers to have normal
digestion.
And, note well, the fact that worry up
sets the apparatus of digestion is of prime
Importance not only to the health of the
body but also the health of the mind.
1t Impairs Mental Efficiency
WHEN food is not properly digested,
poisonous products get into the blood
stream. By it they are carried to the
brain, the supreme organ of the mind
Irritating and poisoning the brain, they
lessen its working power. weakening the
memory and causing rapid fatigue when
the effort is made to concentrate atten-
ton. Hence the mental efficiency no less
than the physical health of worriers is in
some degree impaired by reason of this
singular influence of worry on the organs
of digestion.
The stomach, moreover, is only one of
several parts of the bodily organism that
dlc pIolouiuly ulStuTDeu DN worry.
New England Psychologist, Professor
George Van Ness Dearborn is about to
publish the results of a long series of OBJ
servations demonstrating that states of
anxiety have the effect of causing rise in
blood-pressure. Professor Dearborn has
even found that the pressure rate rises if
a person simply thinks of some imaginary
situation that would naturally create feel
ings of anxiety.
They leave no doubt that worry may be,
and often is, direct cause of heart disease
and arterial scerosis, besides being most
dangerous indulgence for any one afflicted
with weak heart or weakened arteries.
Now, physicians are well aware that
the deathrate from degenerative diseases
of the heart and arteries is steadily rising.
Quite evidently, in view of the observa-
tions by Professor Dearborn and his fell
low Psychologists, there can be little hope
of appreciably checking this rise until
people more generally recognize the neces-
sity, not simply for leading physically
hygienic lives, but still more for controlling
their emotions, and in especial for success
fully combating the tendency to worry.
Again, recent researches by physiolo-
gists make it virtually certain that worry
at times brings on other serious bodily
diseases, notably goiter and diabetes

our time more than any other
Assuredly it seems to be fact that more
people yield to worry to-day than was
ever the case before.
Doubtless this twentieth century of
ours, with its complex strenuous life,
offers exceptional occasions for worry
But this is only additional reason for
fighting worry with all the means at our
command. That more people do not fight
it successfully is not because they are
weak: it is rather because they do not
fully appreciate the harm worry does them.
If people could only look inside them
selves and see the abnormal physical con-
ditions that are set up every time person
worries, it is safe to say that worry would
soon be much less in evidence than it now
is. For it is essentially a controllable,
preventable malady. And people would
be more interested in learning how to pre-
vent it if they knew exactly why it is i'm
portant for them to do so. This know
ledge can be gained only by familiarity
with the facts of what may be termed "the
physiology of worry"
And, fortunately, these facts are to-day
available in abundance for public know
ledge. In the past few years science has
devised ingenious instruments and tests
for ascertaining just how the internal
bodily organs and processes are affected
by different emotional states. To con-
siderable extent the modern Psychologist
is able literally to peer within the physical
structure and watch what goes on inside
it. The results of his experiments, made
both on animals and on human beings,
are of great Importance to all of us-and
are of particular Importance to the man
or woman who worries.
Worry Affects the Body as
Does Anger
found that worry has precisely the
same paralyzing effect on the digestive
mechanism as has anger. Observations
on cats, dogs, rabbits, and human beings
show conclusively that every time an ami
NAL or man gets angry the apparatus of
digestion is thrown completely out of
gear. Ordinarily when food is eaten there
is an immediate flow of saliva and gastric
Juice, the muscles of the stomach and in
testines contract, and there is a secretion
of pancreatic juice and bile. But let
person eat when he is angry, or soon after
he has been angry, and this usual action
of glands and muscles does not take place
Likewise with worry Even in the
lower animals, and when occurring in
comparatively slight degree worry puts
a stop to stomach movements and digest
i've secretion. Only the other day Pro-
fessor w. B. Cannon, the foremost Amer
lean authority on the physiology of the
emotions, in discussing with me the effects
of worry, said:
"To give a significant illustration of
how worry affects animals as well as peo-
pie, might mention the case of young
male cat, the movements of whose stomach
| studied by the aid of the R0ntgen rays
"For observation purposes it was neces-
sary to attach the cat to a holder. He
made no resistance, but kept up slight
twtching of his tail from side to side, in
dicating that he was at least somewhat
anxious as to what was going to happen
to him.
"For more than an hour | watched his

largement of the thyroid gland. This
gland, it has been found, is stimulated to
abnormal activity by worry. In diabetes
excessive accumulation of sugar in the
blood, through abnormal activity of the
liver, is the immediate cause of trouble.
1t has repeatedly been proved that the
sugar content of the blood rises in marked
degree when a person worries.
Thus to cite the results of some of the
latest Investigations, nine students in a
medical school, just previous to hard
examination, were tested for sugar by
Doctor w. G. Smillie. All nine were en-
tirely normal in this respect. But after
the examination four of them showed
sugar in excess, or glycosuria. After an
easier examination, providing less occa-
sion for anxiety, only one of the nine gave
evidences of glycosuria
A similar investigation was made
among students at woman's college. OF
thirty-SiX second-year students who had
no excessive sugar the day before they
took hard examination, six showed eX-
cessive sugar in test Immediately after
they finished their examination papers.
III DolH vi UHtse iHoUhuCeS, w NC SURE
there We're no indications of glycosuria a
few days later. 1t was temporary re-
sultant of temporary worry. But the in
ference is unacceptable that chronic wor-
riers, by constantly overlooking their
blood with animal sugar, are liable to de-
velop the disease known as diabetes.
Affecting specifically the brain, heart,
arteries stomach, intestines, liver and
glands of internal secretion, worry also
has general adverse effect on the nervous
system.
Appearance of the Habitual Worrier
THIS adverse effect is unmistakably ex-
pressed by the haggard, drawn, gaunt
aspect of the man who habitually wor-
ries, and by his persistent sensations of
fatigue. What has happened is that his
nerve-cells are being deprived of the nu-
triton they need in order to energize him
properly. When, on the contrary, the
worrier succeeds in changing his mental
state,-when he contrives to look at
things confidently and contentedly.- -
then, in the words of Professor Dearborn,
there is resultant and most beneficial in
crease in "the operative enthusiasm of the
nervous system and of its afiectors, the
muscles and the glands"
The problem, of course, is, How can the
worrier be cured of his bad mental habit

DIFFERENT VIEWS AS
TO WORK OF CONGRESS
Kern Says 1t Was the Best
Ever While Smoot Classes
1t As Worst

Washington, Sept. S.-Democrats and
republicans entertain very different
views of the congress session just end
ed. Statements by Senate Majority
Leader Kern and Acting Minority
Leader Smoot prove it.
Senator Kern said
"The problems presented to this
congress for solution were grave and
momentous. The first important work
was to provide for the mobilization and
reorganization of the army and for the
creation of a great navy.
'There being much difference of
opinion throughout the country on
these questions, the work of preparing
satisfactory and efficient legislation
was difficult. Upon the disposition of
these questions, came the problem of
how to raise the vast sums of money
to carry out the preparedness program.
Those who clamored most loudly for
preparedness object most seriously to
paying their share of the bill, but after
great labor the revenue bill has been
enacted. Fair in its provision, it will
command the respect of the country.
The rural credits bill and good roads
bill, and measures of improvement of
the parcels post and rural delivery,
will appeal strongly to the farmer. The
child labor bin and the workmen IS
compensation bill will appeal strongly
to the humanitarians of the republic.
considering the great problems pre-.
sented and the splendid spirit shown in
meeting them, this congress will com.
pare favorably with any previous
congress-"
Senator Smoot:
"For nine long weary months con.
gress has been in session. For wears
to come it will be known as the most
eNtravagant session of congress in the
way of appropriations in the history
of our country. The direct appropria-
tions made at this session of congress
amounts to 81 ,630, ,SSS, ,6S2 "a and there
have been contracts amounting to
S3l6,S65,3 ,366 or total direct and auth
lied appropriations and contracts
amounting to the enormous sum of
$l947, 1880
