worry can be eliminated IL we study
the problem a little.
In the first place many persons
get into the chronic state OF worry.
They have been worrying so long
that they Iust keep on worrying
even when circumstances do not
warrant t.
In h second place. most OF our
worry Is simply a state OF confusion.
We worry because we do not see our
way clearly ahead. We DO not see
how We can get around the problem.
And speaking OF beauty. why

There can be no refreshing and satisfying

sleep cannot be satisfactory unless it is taken in
a quiet room, one which is thoroughly ventilated.
