Tobacco is really nasty. Hardly anyone likes tobacco the first, time he (or she) trios it; but there are many people who eventually say they cannot do without it. On the sante principle, worry. is. 'PAY, but certain people get to like it, and they actually miss it when they abstain from it. There are many arguments against worry. Worry is wasteful of energy, and poisonous to, the blood and the whole body. Flere, however, writes - onlyempha- sizing a'e Miles, I am Mr.East� 1 1 p sizing the argument that is most gen- erally neglected—namely, that worry le infectious. We all know how infec- • tious yawning 15; how ane person can start a Whole roomful ofpeople yawn- ing; and how one person who hurried can start a whole roomful of people hurrying,, The Diet Cure. On the ether hand, one person who le confident and calm can radiate his confidence and calmness; one happy person can radiate hie happiness, Every state of mind is infectious, even if the person who . possesses it, and the other persons around him, be un- aware of the fact. r am 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 people, One person wilt 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. Blit 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 is infectious. First of all, there le the principle of unconscious imitation. Notice hew people are apt to copy the gestures of those who are performing at some entertainment; 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 lust like child- ren. 'Unless people are on their guard —as indeed, people seldom are—they 'aro apt to be affected by the expres- sions of others, and these eicpressions not only represent a state of miud, but (as Professor William Tames and others have maintained) help to bring on £his state of mind. Laughing le in- fectious partly through an almost it resistible tendency to irritation. Wor- . ry 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 resort 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, Kilner, 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 aurae therefore must have something physi- cal about them. It is•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. Thes'e's a Nig difference between listening to music and Just 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 much about the "hearing" of it. • The first, of •course, implies concen- tration—deep concentration. 7n listen- ing to music, one ought test to be in a receptive mood. That is the starting Walt. Once 111 a receptive mood, the rest is not so difficult. You simply try to catch the significance of the piece played, think about the oomposer, try to answer various questions, such as, "Why did he write it?" "What kind of mood was he in when he wrote it?" and others. You are then "listening" to what the music is saying. If you "listen" you get the message of the music. If you just 'hearr" it, you. only get a conglomeration of sweet sound. When going to a concert, or when listening to someone playing or sing- ing in a drawing -room, is it not bet- ter therefore, to "listen" andnot Just "hear?". Think this over. Nut -Brown -Autumn.

Toronto Albumin in the urine is a condition that should be given attention at once. 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 blend, 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 tractor from an abscess which bursts into that tract, or in the case of fe- males, from the generative system. In ordinary cases, however, and for the most Mart, 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 circulating in the blood ves- sels 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, of course, where albumin appears in the urine, such as febrile diseases where the temperature is high, probably be- cause the poisons in the blood damage the kidney cells. It sometimes hap- pens appens that albumin will be present in the urine after an epileptic seizure and in connection with various other nervous disorders. There is also who is known as functional albumin in the ,rine which occurs without any ap- parent cause.. It often is found in sta e young people at the adolescent of life and is often discovered quite accidentally, for instance, in the course of examination for life insur- ance. The correapondent also asks about the effect of saccharine on the kid- neys. There is not much danger in the use of saccharine, provided it 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 proves is evident which, continued, should bring the fishing industry of the Dominion to occupy the relatively more important place the vast re- sources back of it justify. In many re- speots the year 1924 premiss to be the most prosperoue 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 centin com- parison 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 fisher- ies remained virtually the same, there was a substantial increase in that of the inland 'ffsherfes, this increasing from $4,177,682. to $4,513,188. The in- crease in capital invested in fish can- ning and curing establishments was $2,704,848, or from $19,411,990 to $22,- 116,338. Employees in sea fisheries in- creased from 47,445 to 48,286, in inland fisheries from 7,785 to 9,594, and in canning and curing factories from 14,- 104 to 16,577. For the first time the amount of cold storage space in Canada devoted to fish has been compiled by the Cana- dian Fisherman. Of a total of 55,577,- 842 cubic feet of cold storage space it was found that more than fifteen per cont, was devoted to fish exclusively or chiefly fish, 0f 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-five 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 of the Canadian 1151 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 $30,547,375 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 Canadian fish and prices maintained a high level. In the year under review the value of fresh and frozen fish exported increased from $3,691,605 to $9,447,729, and that of preserved and canned fish from $9,- 805,881 9;805,881 to $12,758,517. 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 conte very near Oiling all demands for variety. With eighty per cent. of the catch leaving the coun- try at the present time, the further de- velopment of the industry hinges en a gr4ater domestic consuming popula- tion, together with the penetration of such further markets as can be found. • Schoolboy Howlers.

EASY TRICKS Lightning Escape The; trickster places his hands together ;and asks the spectators to encircle his two wrists with a handkerchief, knotting it tightly. They are then asked to run a length : of rope between his arms and to hold the ends. Apparent- ly he cannot easily escape without removing the handkerchief. He makes 'a quick movement of his arms and the rope drops off, the handkerchief still circling his wrists. The illustration gives away the secret, With one of the fingers of the right hand the trickster patches the loop of the rope and draws it dors between his ,palm. This can be done quickly, the hands hiding the movement: The trickster then makes an upward and downward movement of his hands, at the same time thrust- ing his right hand through the loop. The movement of his arms wi1L then pull the rope free of the hands and the trick is done, (Clip this out and paste it, with ether of the series, in a scrapbook.) I Could Snatch a Day.

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 ehould be taken to keep the blood rich and pure. If your blood is not in a healthy condition at this stage, the body becomes 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. These pills are the most reliable blood builder, fortifying weak nerves and creating the liberal supply of red healthy blood which a girl needs to sustain her strength.

William Leoreherdt. The Pursuit of Happiness. It is a waste of time to argue the wsefulness of the things people want. If pople are spending too much of their incomes on automobiles and radio and women's clothes, as many think, and mutting down on other things to make up, they do it because automobiles and permanent waves are the things that they believe will make them happiest. Even .suppising they are all wrong, people want what they want. And you can't make them want it by telling them they oughtn't to want it.
