KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTR0W.

wise and some foolish. in seeking re-
lief. They diagnose themselves con-
stantly and wrongly. They have been
wise in going through thorough ex-
animation; they come through with the
report that there Is nothing Organically
wrong, or If there is 1t Is Of minor
order that need not worry or incapaci-
tate.
But the symptoms keep on and make
a troubled state of mind. II am certain
this nervousness Of the stomach has
brought on this fear us nervous
stomach imaginary" The answer Is
that If you have illness on the mind
it's going to settle on the weak spots
of your makeup. II you have diges-
tive weakness, it will assume that form.

ent symptoms and aches follow each
treatment"
All this is foolish, for it fixes illness
on the mind, and so long as people
have these wrong attitudes toward their
illness the tribe of practitioners who
live on these weaknesses will reap
rich crop of victims
The third case introduces a newer
variety of illness on the mind. Since
1t. has become known that mental situa-
tions, such as family conflicts, infe-
riority completes, shocks, disappoint-
ments, play a part in disease, these are
brought in along with ones share OF
bodily ills, influenza, fall from a street
car" intestinal trouble, .aStigmast1sm.
to compose the tale of woe. All these
miSfortuneS contribute no doubt; but
the primary source is not any of them,
but the tendency to have illness on the
mind. To bear illness nationally is one
of the severest tests of mental fitness.
We used to call this hypochondria,
which is too formidable a. name, and
the French call it imaginary illness,
which it isn't. It's type of wrong
health attitude, and mental hygiene is
directed to giving people right health
attitudes of mind. The ''quivering feel
ing on the stomach" 1.-The creepy and
dopey feeling in the head" the muscle
defect in the eye" and the "inferiority
feelings" and "erratic father" must be
dismissed.
It can't be done completely, but these
symptoms or causes" may be reduced
to their proper places, and right
mental attitude toward health replace
them. Sound medical treatment will
help: running from one "ologist" to
another won't. The wise practitioner,
it doesn't matter what he calls himself,
will direct all efforts toward bringing
the patient into right attitude to his
condition. He will get illness of the
mind.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, September FL.

Early tomorrow morning the PLAN
etary government is comparatively
beneficent, but astrologers read that
adverse aspects gain power later in the
day.
Women are subject to sway making
for much activity. Under this direc-
ton of the stars they should gain
through courageous initiative.
1t is time for woman writers and
actresses to profit through well laid
Autumn plans.
Publicity for women should be pecu-
liarly beneficial while this configuration
prevails. Candidates for political Office
should push their campaigns.
There is a forbidding sign for men
who carry heavy responsibilities. They
should combat that tired feeling which
may be felt even after vacation time.
Under this direction of the stars both
men and women may be less confident
than usual. It is time to brace up
mentally.
Discussions and chickering's within
organizations again are strongly indi-
Gated. Lack of harmony may be Seri-
Gus for many ambitious associations.
Both men and women are likely to
be exceedingly self-conScious and indi-
vidualistic while this rule continues.
Autumn events are to illustrate to
many persons that pride goeth before
fall. Domestic peace may be easily
shattered.
For a long time the seers have prophe-
sled that at this period many surprising
events will take place. The unexpected
is likely to happen.
Craving for new experiences and
novel experiences will bring many heavy
debts to the young. it is foretold. They
will pay with health as well as with
money.
Persons whose birth date is tomorrow
should avoid the temptation to gamble
or to speculate. Risks of every sort
may be peculiarly perilous and even
marriage may be attended by strange
disappointments.
Children born on tomorrow probably
will be exceedingly gifted and talented
along unusual lines. These subjects of
Virgo may be too fond of taking risks
for their own peace of mind or success.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 20, 1S62.-Up to late
hour today nothing had been heard
from Gen. Mcclellan later than the
news that he was pursuing the Con1eo-
crate army, which is recrosSing the Po-
tomac River, following the great battle
of Antietam Creek September II. IL
was learned today that the Confederate
force which recently captured Harpers
Ferry has evacuated that place AFTER
burning all Government properly.
Many sick and wounded Confederate
soldiers were left behind.
According to reports reaching mere,
the Confederates made five distinct at
tempts to blow up the piers of the rail-
road bridge across the Potomac River
at Harpers Ferry and all failed. They
did. however, succeed in doing consid-
cradle damage to the superstructure.
A man who arrived here today from
the vicinity of Sharpsburg, Md. says
that among the dead left on the battle
field by the retreating Confederates are
many officers, including one major gen.
eral. The remains of Col. Kingsbury
of the Union Army, killed in the battle,
have reached this city and are lying
today in the home of his father-in-
law, COL Taylor, commiSsary general OF
the United States Army.
Gen, fdlleCk mas 1SSucu 1IOIu titC
War Department request that all
newspapers refrain for the remainder
of the war from publishing any news
concerning the positions or prospective
movements of Federal troops. He says
papers with news of this character
often reach the Confederate lines a day
or two after publication and defeat the
purposes of the Union commanders.
Travel to and from washington by
railroad is greater now than at any
time since the war began. All regular
trains are crowded every day with pas
sengers, and crowded troop trains are
met constantly at various points on the
line. Apparently all the trains are
moving with the utmost safety. No &C
cidents nor anything detrimental to in
divdual travellers has been reported
A large force Of soldiers now guard
the railroad tracks and bridges be-
tween Washington and Baltimore. Four
or five of the more recently arrived
regiments have been stationed along
the line between the two Cities and they
throw out picketS along the railroad.
Moses SweetSer of this city, who has
Just arrived from the seat of war In
Maryland, says the Union troops are in
excellent spirits as result of the
weeks fighting. He says the latest
estimate of the Union killed and wound
ed is 10000, and the Confederate losses
must have been "terrible."

What is common to these three cases,
selected from many times three. is the
combination of physical and mental
ills, and the troubling questions as to
which produces or induces which.
There is no doubt that bodily dim
Guilty, whether a weak stomach, or eye
sight, or the after effects of illness or
accident, all lower the mental resist
ance to physical ills in those thus dis
posed. How much illness can you stand
without getting illness on your mind?
And If you are Ill, how quickly can you
recover and get back to normal atti-
tude toward your health-self? That
really is the decisive question.
The dificulty in the many varieties
of these very different situations and
personalities is that the patients have
a very poor mental resistance against
disease of any kind. They get illness
on the mind, perhaps have always had
it, and so do all sorts OF things. some

My Neighbor Says:


Roast meats should first be
scared in an oven at $40 degrees
Fahrenheit. When scared, lower
the heat to 400 degrees and con-
tinue roasting.
To prevent fruit falling to the
bottom, after you have stirred UP
your cake, last Of all add l tea

taste the vinegar In the cake.
If possible use soft water when
washing linens. adding borax. am
monia or washing soda. Don't
add ammonia to very hot water
or it will evaporate and lose its
strength. Boiling will soften water
considerably.
Where cooked frostings are used
it makes little difference whether
they are spread on hot or cold
cake. Where uncooked frostings
are used it is best to have cake
slightly warm. with the exception
of confectioner's froSting, where
boiling water is employed.
