There are many arguments 'against worry, Worry is wasteful o1 energy, and poisonous to the blood and the writes whole body, Isere, however, Mi Eustaee Mimi, I am Moly empha- sizing the .argument that is meet gen- erally neglected—namely, that Worry 1s !ntectlous. We all know how infec- tious yawning is; how one person can start a whole roomful of people yawn -1 ing; and how one person who hurries can start a whole roomful of people hurrying, The Diet Cure. On the other hand, one person who is confident and calm can radiate his confidence' and calmness; one happy person can radiate his happiness. Every state of mlaod is infectious, even If the person who possesses it, and the other persons around him, be un- aware of the fact, I aro often consulted as to cures for worry, and I have found that among the.,best helps are better ways of breathing and better kinds of diet. Some people are cured simply by real- izing what a strong case there is to be brought against worry. It is interesting to notice how the different arguments appeal to different peoplo. One person will give up wor- rying when he sees that it is wasteful and tends to inefficiency; another— especially a woman—will give it up when she sees that it Is ugly, and tends to make people unattractive. But the argument which should appeal most strongly to most thinking indi- viduals is that worry spreads itself like a disease. Unconscious Imitation. There are several reasons why wor- ry 1s infectious. First of all, there is the principle of unconscious imitation. Notice how people are apt to copy the gestures of those who are performing at some eatertalnment; there is a great deal of sympathy going on of which we are not aware at the time. Children proverbially imitate others. and at times -we behave just like child- ren. Unless people are on their guard —as indeed, people seldom are—they are apt to be affected by the expres- sloes of others, and these expresstona not only represent a state of mind, but (as Professor William James and others have maintained) help to bring on this state of mind. Laughing is in- fectious partly through an almost ir- resistible tendency to imitation. Wor- ry onry is almost equally infectious. What Science Has Proved. There is another reason. When the aura of a person was spoken of in for- mer times, there was a sort of sneer, or a smile of incredulity; it was con- sidered faddy and "cranky" to imagine that anyone had an aura, or an in- uence extending beyond him; but to- day science, thanks to the screen in- vented by Dr. K(lner, is able to de- monstrate that people have auras, which depend partly upon their state .of health and upon their state of feel- ing. Very sensitive people can see the auras around others, and these auras therefore must have something physi- cal about them. It ie quite likely that the aura of a person who is worrying may be one of the means by which others become affected and inclined themselves to worry. Do We Listen to Music or Do We Just Hear It. There's a big difference between listening to music and Mat hearing it. Much has been spilled by writers in dealing with the "listening" side of music, but the writer has never heard of anyone bothering mach about the ''hearing" of it.- a The first, of course, implies concen- tratlon—doep concentration. rn listen- ing to music, one ought first to be in a receptive mood. That is the staring point. Once in a receptive mood, the rest is not so diilionit. You simply try to catch the significance of the plea° played, think about the composer, try to answer various questions, such as, "Why did bo write it?" "What kind of mood was he in when he wrote it?" and othere, You are then "listening" to what the music is saying. If you "listen" you get the message el the music, If you just "hear" It, you only get a conglomeration of sweet Bound. When going to a concert, or when listening to someone playing or stag- ing in a drawing -room, is it not bet- ter thevefore, to "listen" and not just "hear r. Think this over. • Nut -Brown Autumn.

Albumin in the urine is a condition that should be given attention atonce. A. correspondent writes to inquire What causes albumin in the urine and Whether or not it is an inflammation of the kidneys and if 'a weak heart will cause it, One of the most constant accom- paniments of kidney disease may be Present without albumin showing, and albumin may be in the urine without kidney disease. Heart disease has a direct effect in producing albuminuria by causing engorgement of the kid- neys with blood, as a result of poor circulation, Urine which contains blood or pus shows albumin. These substances may come from the kidney or from any other• part of the urinary tract or from an abscess which bursts into that tract, or in the case of fe- males, front the generative system. In ordinary cases, however, and for the most part, the most common cause of albumin in the urine is kidney disease. To some extent the albumin present is an inflammatory exudate, but to a great extent it is due to serum - albumin cireulatieg in the blood ves- sale which escapes with the urine be- cause the damaged cells of the kid- neys can no longer prevent it escap- ing. There are other conditions,o1 course, where albumin appears in the urine, such as febrile diseases here the temperature is high, probably be- cause the poisons in the blood damage the kidney cells. It sometimes hap- pens that albumin will be present in the urine after . an epileptic seikure and in connection with various other nervous disorders. There is also what is known as functional albumin in the ,trine which occurs without any ap- parent cause. It often is found in young people at the adolescent stage of life and is often discovered quite accidentally, for instance, in the course of examination for life insur. anee. The correspondent also asks about the effect of saccharine on the kid- neys. There is not much danger in the use of saccharine, provided it is used in moderate quantities. CANADA'S FISHERIES PROSPERING It is gratifying to note that the Canadian fishing industry is experi- encing brighter days following the period of depression which came in the wake of Increased investment and stimulated activity in the war years with a subsequent slump in demand. Regarded from every angle a degree of progr'ss is evident which, continued, should bring the fishing industry of the Dominion to occupy the relatively mere important place the vast re- sources back of it justify, In many re- spects the year 1924 promise to be the most prosperous year the industry has experienced and may herald the dawning of a new era for Canadian fisheries. The value of the catch in the first three months of the year, which show- ed an increase of 56 per cent. do cora- natation with the same period in the previous year, has been continued in subsequent months, and this would in- dicate a revenue from the year's opera- tions amounting to over $60,000,000, or equal to the banner year of 1918, when prices were -substantially higher than at the present time. Reviewing the catches of the present year, increases are noted in practically every species of fish caught. increase In Invested Capital. In the Government returns covering the fish industries in its branches for 1922 the increasing importance of these activities is noted, and there is little doubt that this feature charac- terized the year 1923 and the present year. Between 1921 and 1922, whilst the capital Invested in the. sea Reber - les remained virtually the same, there was a substantial increase in that of the inland fisheries, this increasing from $4,177,682 to $4,513,188. The in- crease In capitol invested in fish can- ning and curing establishments was $2,704,348, or from $19,411,990 to $22,- 116,338. Employees in sea fisheries in- creased from 47,446 to 48,286, in inland fisheries from 7,785" to 9,594, and in canning and curing factories from 14,- 104 to 10,677.• For the first time the amount of cold storage space in t'Canada devoted to fish has been compiled by the Cana- dian Fisherman, Of a total of 36,577,- 842 cubic feet of cold storage space it was found that more than fifteen per cent. was devoted to fish exclusively or chiefly fish. Of the balance of a general storage nature fish is no in- considerable item, so that it is esti- mated that between twenty and twen- ty -flue per cent. of the total cold stor- age warehouse capacity in Canada is used by the products of fresh and salt water. Eighty Per Cent Exported. The greater portion ofe Canadian fish catch, amounting in fact to eighty per cent., finds its way to the export markets, In the last fiscal year the value of Canada's fisheries exports was $30,647,376 as "compared with $25,- 557,717 in the previous year. This mark was only exceeded during the war years and immediately following the war, when there was an extraor- dinary demand for CanaCian fish and prices maintained a high level. In the year under review the value of fresh and frozen fish exported increased from $8,691,605 to $9,447,729, and that of preserved and canned Ash from $9,- 805,881 to $12,75S,517. The outstand- ing feature of this trade was the in- crease in the exports of canned sal- mon, which grew from $4,489,509 to $7,721,075. The Canadian fishing industry Is one to which one could scarcely put limits of expansion. It is estimated that the fishing grounds of the Dominion, on both coasts and the great inland lakes, could easily furnish the entire world with its needs without suffering and. depletion, and come very near filling all demands for variety. With eighty per cents of the catch leaving the coun- try at the present time, the further de- velopment of the industry hinges on a greater doineeio consuming popula- tion, together with the penetration of such further markets as can be found.

DAWN OF WOMANHOOD A Time of Difficulties When Watchfulness is Needed. Some girls upon the threshold of womanhood drift into a decline in spite of all care and attention. Even strong and usually lively girls become weak,. depressed and Irritable, and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood—most important in the life of every girl— and prompt measures should be taken to keep the blood rich and pure. If your blood is not in a healthy condition at this stage, the body becomes ill - nourished and other ailments develop. If the health is not maintained by a sufficiency of rich, red blood, all sorts of weaknesses are likely to arise. Re- member this, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have saved thousands of girl and wo- men from being life-long invalids, be. cause of their wonderful blood -making =properties. The value of Dr, Williams,' PInk Pills to young women whose health was failing has been proved over and over again..
