OBJECT TO RIDER.

The New Britain Board of Fire In
surance Underwriters object to the
rider" to be placed on insurance
policies of enemy aliens, which, in the
opinion of members would work to the
disadvantage of banks carrying mort
cages on such properties. The clause
directs that insurance is not to be
paid in case of fire at property of
enemy aliens. Banks carrying mort
cages could not collect insurance to
protect their interest. The local board
voted yesterday to approve OF the form
adopted by the association i'll Bridge
port and submit it to the New Eng
land Insurance Exchange for approval.

few nights ago and drove it to Lake

Let me save you from the scrap
heap!
Doctor, 1 am not sick, but don't
feel right" That is what many say
TO me when they come TO see me the
drst time. And that just expresses
it, You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest OF former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and yo4 don't enjoy
your food as YOU once did. And your
nerves get the best OF you. Things
bother you. rufle you, that YOU never
noticed before. You begin to soc dill
Hculties where there really are none.
Iriftes worry YOU, and not having
enough troubles of your own, you
borrow some.
OF course. to d casual observer, you
seem the same, because YOU are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or so to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self You sometimes thiak they ara
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling Will come back with re~
newed vigor You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind 1nly. And II
It Is SO, is it the first step to insan-
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing YOU; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when YOU feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, When you find YOU can't do jas
tice to your work any longer, then
you become despondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the sans
condition as a deHcately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
right. Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.
