EFFECT OF MIND ON BODY
Worry Doubt. Fear and Apprehension
Make the Physical Organism Sus-
ceptibie to Disease.

Since all of the cells of the body are
more or less intelligent and we think
not only with the brain but with the
entire physical organism, we can read
iily see that our thoughts and convlc-
lions must affect, according to their
nature. all of these cells. we can
think health into them or we can think
disease.
What have you been telling these
little cell minds in your body, my
friend? Have you been filling them
with worry and anxiety regarding your
health, with fear, with dread. with ap-
prehension? Have you been fling

The hint was a good one, and the

Device Saves Cargo Space.

Surprisingly large cargo space char
acterizes two sulphur-carrying steam
ships recently built at Newburgh, N.
T., as a result of new, patented ar
rangement of the twin propeller shafts.
Ordinarily these shafts would have
been mounted In tunnels placed near
the center line of the ship, thereby
breaking up the floor of the after
holds into useless wings and central
pockets, says Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. But the new arrangement
places the two power units as far out
board a. possible in the engine room,
and consequently locates the shafts
along the after bilges and run of the
vessel, or In other words, near the
joints of sides and bottom.

DIED WEDNESDAY,.

Florence Nelson, age 20 years and
ave months, passed away on Wednes-
day morning of this week at the home
of her mother Mrs. James @. Nelson,
following a years illness with tu-
berculosis, which she contracted fol-
lowing two attacks of influenza
when that disease was epidemic in
the United States.
1t had been planned to hold the
funeral on Friday afternoon of this
. week, but because Rev. Waters had
to leave this evening for Rhinelander
to attend the State Sunday School
convention, the funeral was held this
afternoon from the Late residence and
the Congregational church, the SER
vices being in charge of Rev. Waters.
The singing at the funeral was by
the High School Girls Quartette,
while delegations representing all
classes of the High School attended.
Florence Nelson was bright girl
and graduated from the WaShDurn
High school with the class OF 1920.
IN 1913 and again in 1919 she suffered
an attack of influenza which seemed
to undermine her health ard shortly
after graduating last spring she con-
tracted tuberculosis. For time she
received treatment at the Pureair
sanitorium, returning t othis city
at about Thanksgiving time, but her
health continued to fail and death
came on Wednesday morning as a
relief to her long suffering.
Florence was a girl of quiet dis
position and lovable nature, a bright
girl in her studies at school, and
whose life brought sunshine to the
Nelson home. Besides "a mother she
is survived by two brothers M. G.
Nelson and Amos Nelson, residing
! in this city, and a sister Mrs. E.
Willis of Ludington, Mich.
The sympathy of the community
goes OUT to the sorrowing relatives
in their bereavement.

The Best Informed.

The matron of honor at the wedding
had twice been charming widow be-
fore she married her present husband.
During the preparations for the we'd
ding she had kept much In the back
ground lest some one would twit her
on being experienced in weddings, but
ct the ceremony she came out with
flying colors determined to outshine
the bride in receiving attention If pos
sible.
And she got 1t, too.
The ceremony had proceeded with.
out hitch until in the middle Of one
Of the responses, when the little bride
forgot. She hesitated, stammered and
then was silent. For minute every
one was disturbed and then one of the
ushers leaned over to the matrOn of
honor. "Prompt her, Marie" he or
sdered In a whisper loud enough for
most every one to hear him.

Hollands Day of State.

Although the Dutch are very demo
cratic they still cling to the pageantry
that surrounds the movements Of their
queen on days of state. A case In
point being the opening day OF their
parliament, which is quantity cerem0-
NOUS. The queen rides in giided car
rage through the streets OF Inc
Hague to the old Knights hall In FAR
Lament square, and with crown on
her head and her gOld-braided prince
consort at her side sits on the throne.
At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet
ministers are compelled by tradition
to wear giddy uniforms resembling an
ciI-time minstrel man In an admirals
hat. After this one day of pomp the
ministers and members of parliament
put on their working clothes and get
down to business, while the queen,
who prides herself on being typlcal
Dutch woman with domestic tastes,
lays her crown aside for another
year.

all through paying extrayagant
prices for what, he can make him

hogs needs are minerals, and tells
the secret of his wonderful success
by explaining that he takes about
five pounds of ordinary mineraline
(Which is pure concentrated min

bran or filler to make hundred

brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and

essential to the hogs growth and a
well balanced ration, This mex
pensive mixture placed in shelter

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Bears in the wheat market took advantage today of reports that Italy had cancelled some of her con tracts for wheat bought in the United States. P1ices rallied later but fail4A to hold The finish was unsettled, with March $1.74 34 to $1.75 and May $I6s 2-4 to $1.67. Corn lost 5-S to l 7-S; oats 5-5 to 1-2c, and provisions z to 45 cents.
 It developed that only So,Ooo bushels of wheat bought for Italy had been can- celied, but leading traders were appar- enly disposed to accept current opinion that reselling of wheat may be a big factor if Argetina begins to ship free ly. Besides yesterdays export sales were not as large as had been supposed, and domestic four business has not reach ed the degree of activity that was look ed .fer. Word that 4So 900 bushels had been talDen for export by way of the Cinlt of Mexico, bed afterward to Q sharp uD- turn gin prices. Gossip that Greece h.> d purchased a huge total of Canadian wheat failed to be confirmed, and tn. temporary strength in the market dis aVRteared under heavy bear pressure al the last.
 Corn and oats lacked support excep dur4ng the transient bulge in wheat Oats touched the lowest price yet thi. season.

WALKovERs AND RUsrLERs
 EACH WON ONE GAME

Moosup, Jan. 1s.-The Walkovers Mon- day last were defeated the first game of the season by the Hustlers by 27 pin fall. The Walkovers came in the Pas time bowling alleys sharp at p. m and without any warming up of any kind. So that is their reason of their first defeat. also Sam Lussfer in his last string had his Zu-Zu ball working in fine shape too good to please Mgr. Lionel Dupuis of the Walkovers. Mgr. Dupuis not being con tented with the first game challenges the Hustlers to roll the second game at once and the challenge was taken.
 The second game started at 9.30 p. m. with Dupuis and Wukas. Every one was in hopes of seeing the Walkoversi take their second defeat, but to their surprise the Walkovers broke the alley record, also tied the Trolley league score of a single three string pinfall which the total on record in eastern Connecticut is 6S4. Then the game went very nice for the Walkovers. Each team won game, so the last game of the three game agree ment is to be played off Monday. Jan. "A. at Moosup Pastime bowling alleys at 8 D. m., a game well worth coming to see. as it means a great deal for each team.
