About your Health Things You Should Kaow by John BaUden upend . cam* 1 up from while with his WORRY. I knew a woman, wife of a small farmer, who was bom in pioneer days when the popular habitation wag a log cabin with a dirt floor. Sne married early, and grew a family of eight children. Her own hands wove the clothing of her family; she sewed the garments by hand—no machines then. She cooked, summer and winter, on a log fireplace. She helped do the butchering, ‘rendered’ the lard, made soap iron\ the ‘trimmings’ and did the family wash at the nearby creek, I cannot think of anything that she did not do, or assist in doing,—even to bringing flre-wood and helping to chop it into suitable lengths for use as fuel. She lived to be a little past ninety-two years of age! And, with all this, I never knew her to worry or complain at her task. This woman was not a ‘freak.’ We are the freaks, we who worry at trifles and regard all work as degrading, all toil as unworthy of our hands. We have almost como to regard motherhood with indig nation in these days of fashion and ‘progress’. My point is, that work neve’* harmed any living soul, if carried on intelligently, without worry. Sickness is merely the chastening for offenses committed—ignorant ly or wilfully, and every crime against right living i« sure to bring punishment. Worry kills—striving to do the impossible, at unseeming hour-, overfeeding, intemperance in ambi tion, and in neglecting the laws >..f rest and recreation. What a lesson in longevity! There are none so blind a» they ivho will not see. 'NOTICE OF DISCHARGE ' NOTICE OF DISCHARGE.
