The old comfortable Idea about a $1-50 book was that t was made for about 75 cents:sold to a Jobber for about $1, p are ed on by him to a retailer for about$1 12 and then, neatly wrapped by itself, ith a pleasant remark about the went er thrown in, sold to a waiting customer-, or $1.50, and he took It home under Ms a. m. Today the same book is made Tor ab ut 50 cents, but it is sold to the custo er for 90 cents or $1, and it is handled by the thousand, delivered to the archa er, and its sale is only an incident of a ,v st traffic.

Worry is the most fatal of diseases„ for it predisposes to all diseaees. A great authority has -said "Fundamentally there is but one diseaee— debility." Worry prodeces debility., and through this debility the patient is rendered vulnerable to a host of ills. Worry, direct- ly or indirectly, produces nervous indisabil— ity, indigestion, insomnia, -heart diseaeee diabetes, paralysis, insanity. Worry is the cardinal sin of the day.
