The death toll was thirty four, the

great growth in number OF cases at

stated that they could not help feeling
that some Of these deaths should not

the lack Of proper care. The pneu-

within twenty-four hours after the
visiting nurses were called to the

STOP FUSSING ABOUT HEALTH
Many People Worry Themselves Into
Illness by Constantly Having It
in Their Thoughts.

In advising people how to escape
disease, a noted physician said not
long ago that "some people give too
much thought to the question Of
health. They are forever, fussing
about their health,'' he said, "and live
in perpetual and irrational dread of
disease. Indeed they may actually
make themselves i'll by their morbid
fear of Illness.
The physician does not discount the
advantages Of complying with the well
understood rules Of hygiene and SAM
tation. He knows that many people
ruin their health by overindulgence in
food or drink, or both; he does not
minimize the Importance of taking the
best of care Of oneself at all times.
But he has hit upon a fundamental
truth when he says many people make
themselves i'll by morbid fear Of ILL
ness. It was once expressed q little
differently by physician who said
that as soon as a man discovered he
had a liver there was no hope for him
meaning thereby that he would "doc-
tori and "dose" himself to death.
There is no doubt that fear is re-
sponsible for a great deal Of the
worlds illness, as well as for many Of
the troubles of other kinds. ALI of US
know, or ought to know, that it is
possible for one to "worry himself
sick" So it is we'll to pay some atten-
ton to the words Of the physician
when he advises us that there is just
about as much danger in thinking too
much of our health as there is in
thinking too little of it.-Dayton News.
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-02-15
Injustice,

The world, being in the constant
commission Of vast quantities of in
justice, is little too apt to comfort
itself with the idea that if the VIC
tim Of its faisehood and malice have
a clear conscience, he cannot fail to
be sustained under his trials, and
somehow or other to come right at
last: ''In which case," say they who
have hunted him down, Though we
certainly don't expect it-nobody will
be better pleased than we." Whereas,
the world would do well to reflect that
injustice is in itself, to every gener-
Gus and properly constituted mind, an
injury, of all others the most insuffer-
able, the most torturing, and the most
hard to bear and that many clear con-
sciences have gone to their account
elsewhere, and many sound hearts
have broken because of this very rea-
son; the knowledge of their own de-
serts only aggravating their sufferings
and rendering them the less endur-
able.-Charles Dickens.

death to the vanquished gladiator.
She is tigress in a human frame,
with all its savage cruelty. l am per"
fectly sure that she would go delirious
with ecstacy if Harris and Morton
went crashing to their death at Sa-
vannah. Such women seem to possess
an irresistible attraction for men OF
that type" he added. "And yet they
have many good qualities. They make
faithful and admirable wives and
mothers. When they have chosen
their mates they cling to them through
thick and thin. I have no doubt that
nature, in creating such a bond be-
tween her HARNESSES and Mae Con-
nellys, has her wise purposes. But
Harris must not race at Savannah"
ut looks as though he meant to-" I
replied.
IF he races it means his DEATH re-
sponded the doctor, and would say
no more.
But that evening at Tarrant's he
consented to make clear his mean
ing. I think it was Tarrant's aWak-
ened interest which convinced him
that we were sincere in our interroga-
tons. Crossing to the book shelves
again, the doctor took down the bulky
little volume in calfskin and read to
us the passage which he had picked
out the evening before. It was from
Byzantium history.
'Tn the year sgt A. D." he read,
"the hero of the Blue faction at Byzan-
tium was a certain Hippias, the son OF
a Bithynian slave. A man of less than
the average stature"-"Frank Har-
ris," interposed the doctor-"his pow
er and control over his animals, as
well as his keen eyesight made him,
by common repute, the most skilful
charioteer of his age. The champion
of the Green party was one Coluber"-
"Morton''-"a slave in the emperor's
palace and only second in skill to Hip
pias. Both these men were rivals for
the love of Iris"-"May Connelly"-"a
beautiful slave Of the Empress Theo-
dora, who pledged herself to the one
who should win the four-horse chariot
race that year. The entire population
of the capital assembled to witness the
spectacle, and party feeling ran high.
During almost the entire period of the

and the deep-drawn and universal sign.
The race was over. Twelve PAGES from
the judges seats the cars had run TO-
gether, cold-fused into a single mass OF
shattered metallic fragments. And
men were already pulling their human
freight from under them.
Perhaps it was because the fulht
ment of her destiny had revived the
human soul in the woman and slain
the tigress for ever, or perhaps only
my imagination had led me to see the
inhuman qualities in her. But she
was out among the crowd, and by her
lovers side, and her arms sought for
him under the wrecked mass or MS
car, and even above the shouts heard
the agonized cry upon her lips:
Frank! Frank! Come to mel"
saw no more then because of the
masses around the cars. l rose to 60.
Emmanuel followed me, and Tarrant.
AS we reached the ground we heard
shouting; then a lane was made anu
four men came through slowly, bear
ing something upon a stretcher, COM
pletely hidden beneath blanket. And
then somehow we found ourselves
forming part of an enormous ring, and
in the center of it was Mae Connolly,
and she was sobbing and laughing and
clinging round the neck of man who
walked straight and erect and still car.
ried his injured shoulder in a brace.
And it was Harris.
He was unhurt; not even the brace
was shifted. There was a smile OF
bravado on his face, but on the wom-
ans such JOY as had never seen on
any face before. Then I knew that
Harris would never drive a racing car
again.
"It's a miracle" a man near by was
saying. II saw the whole thing. Nor
ton tried to foul deliberately. He
wanted to cut past"
"Cut past? I tell you he smashed
bang into him." answered another:
"He'd rather have died than lose this
race"
"Well, he had that wish gratified,"
answered the first man.
II
$50, Emmanuel, you see that every
thing turned out exactly the opposite
of what you prognosticated,' said Tar
rant tauntingly that evening. Come,
how do you explain that? Was it
poetic justice that gave the other man
a chance? Or did you get them wrong
and mistake Coluber for Hippias?"
But somehow neither I nor the
Greek doctor felt like answering, and
Tarrant, somewhat ashamed, began
preparing his catalogue notes in 81.

tive rows of perfect teeth. She seemed
to me just the type that would prove
irresistible to the anemic, nervous
man in the bed.
"Miss Connelly's particular friend
Of mine, Doc" said the driver, ad-
dressing my companion.
"Cut it out, Frank" said the girl pet
ulantly. "You amt the only pebble.
Harris scowled. 1t was evident that
he was we'll under her thumb, also
that she took pleasure in tormenting
him. I suspected that they had been
quarreling recently. ..
Say, Doc" said Harris confidential
ly, "tell me honest, amt there no
chance of my driving at Savannah
next month? Can't my bones heal In
five weeks? Old Murphy here says
not. But got to drive. got to win
that race"
"You certainly have, Frank" SAID
the girl, looking at him meaningly.
"You are fond Of watching the
races?" asked Doctor Emmanuel or
the girl.
Her eyes flashed. Fond! Well, l
guess So" she answered, scornfully.
"And I got no use for cold feet nor
Clarences, neither" She looked indig-
nantly at the man in the bed.
"You won't need to say that no
more" said Harris furiously. Il
guess I'll show you when the time
comes" o..
They began to quarrel bitterly. 1t
was obvious to both Of us that the girl
was a racing ''fan" Of the worst kind.
No doubt the winner Of the Savannah
race-and it was conceded that this
would probably be Harris or Morton
would GUST the loser in her affections.
We left them arguing and wrangling'
and, when we were outside the hos

theory.
"She is a perfect modern type OF
the Roman woman who turned her

impression wrongly gosS- to signify

contest the two drivers were abreast,
nor could the most skilful of the
judges have determined who had the
precedence, but just as the chariots
approached the judges stand, where
sat the emperor and his consort, Colu-
Der was seen to gain by a hairs
breadth, whereupon Hippias, swerving
drove his horses against his r1vals.
Both chariots and horses went down
in an inextricable mass, and when the
spectators rushed to the scene it was
found that Hippias was dead. Colu-
Der, who escaped uninjured, received
the beautiful Iris from the hands OF
Theodore herself"
The doctor closed the volume with
snap and replaced it on it's shelf.

instinct survives-it must survive un-
til Harris develops from the half-anl-
NAL to the man. He is as savage
barbarian today as ever he was when
nursed by Bithynian mother. The
old instinct will awaken in him. He Will

"You fail to allow for the accidents
of fortune, DOCTOR" said Tarrant.
There are no accidents" respond
ed Emmanuel quietly. Every external
event is nothing but the embodiment
of countless soul impulses made mani
fest in it. No, if Harris races Harris
will die"
We were neither of us disposed to
argue the matter with the doctor. we
were, indeed, bent upon concealing our
skepticism of the kindly little Greeks
theories. And yet, though neither OF
us placed much stock in them, l con-
TESS was alarmed when read in the
sporting columns of the American
People," three weeks later, that Harris
would positively face at Savannah
And few days later came the news
that he was out of tho hospital and
