This Habit of Worry inn.

MS HABIT OF Worrl ing.
Worry kills more persons than does
disease. physicians say and believe
it is fact. We worry over the most
trivial things and thereby totally unfit
ourselves to meet the bigger trials and
vicissitudes that must come TO us one
and all.
We worry for fear the icG man wont
come-and if he doesn't come there Is
cause for worry for the milk, cream
and butter will necessarily spoil. But
does worrying ever bring him? We
think not, but little "prodding" may
have the desired effect and save us the
grey hairs and wrinkles caused by
worrying.
We worry because the weather is
TOO hot or too cold, and over the fact
that beefsteak is not so tender as We
would wish and for fear it will rain to.

rain-it wont-so why worry?
| knew small girl once who with
her parents was to go into the coun-
try TO spend the day provided it didn't
rain. Her parents were apprehensive
when the morning dawned gloomy and
cloudy-Of course more on the young
miss's account than their own-that
it would rain before it became time to
start and so voiced their fears. With
childlike faith in God" the small tot
went to the window and raising her
pretty dimpled face to the skies asked
in simple childish manner that God
would not let it rain. She came from
the window with face beaming and

big business to manage. Then since
have been married to Everett have
learned a lot of things l never knew
of before, and one is that courtesy

things easier all around. Everett is
always courteous even when dis
pleased"
'T'd rather he'd be a little more
loving if he were my husband, and
little less polite. At times should

"What a dreadful expression"
replied, laughing in spite of myself
at Roses slang. Everett saved me
from making any other reply by call

to retire.
