Worries Good and Bad

The strange thing about worry
is that it does the most mischief
when concerned with the most
trivial matters. Thus to worry
about bad luck, domestic infelicity,
disagreeable neighbors or the vel
fare of the boy at college or in the
army produces nothing but fatigue
of body and soul, whereas bit of
anxiety concerning the colony of
germs that have taken an apart
ment in the nose or throat, the an
noying constipation that develops
from bad dietary habits, the vacant
soil In the back yard that needs
cultivation or the narrow limits of
the family exchequer might be the
first step toward longer life and
a bigger income.-Exchange.
