DON’T WORRY.

WHEN .ON HOLIDAY TOUR

* After eleven months of work and worry comes the motor tour which is to put us back on our physical and mental heeLs as good as new. It should do it because there is nothing else under the sun that gives a person such a complete change. The air, the water, the sky, the scenery, the people and the food —all are different. Any change so radical must have an immediate effect. However if the tourist continues to lug along liis worries, a large part of the benefit of touring js nullified. Worry is harder to stop than work. Borne people worry naturally. They worry if they find themselves not worrying up to their usual standard. Such people should take extra precautions to eliminate causes of worry WORRY IS NEEDLESS. The most common worries that keep a tourist’s face as iong as a pump handle relate to his home property. Will the house burn down? Will burglars work it over? Will the water pipes break or the gas get loose ? Did i leave the phonograph wound up too tight? Did i leave the garbage in the kitchen ? Of course, by leaving the wife at home isuch worries could be eliminated, but the worry of wondering what she might be doing would counterbalance it. There is only one line of action to take : Fully insure the house, garage, and furniture, and see that vacancy permits are attached to all lire policies. Cut the water off at the house sill, shut the gas oft at the meter, open the main switch of the electric circuit, rut all valuable papers in a lock box in a bank vault Bulkier valuable objects should be boxed and left with a tank for general storage. Pay up al. current bills, stop the daily papers, mow the lawn, anil hide the lawn rnowe r. WHY WORRY? Having done these things, leap into the car and hie away. If anything happens you are not to blame. This is. about all a man can do unless he hires a policeman to watch the premises, and a detective to> watch the policeman. Leave unnecessary items at home. You don’t need a crowbar, an armchair, a radio, or a piano. All you need is a tent, rots, blankets, stove, and dishes. A three-gallon preserving kettle is a line thing to take. It can he used to carry water, to wash dishes, or to put up fruit. Itoad worries can he avoided in a large part by proper ante-mortem horse sense Watch the other fellow —remember it’s all in a lifetime—and by and by you will forget to worry on (your trips. What’s the use, anyway?
