Consider the automobile. Whau
the car is goimr to stand still- for
more than a lew miuut^ the driver
s.cps the engine. By doing this ha
saves gasoline, oil, and above all,
use!es« jvear and tear on the ma
chinery, if he lets the engine "run
idle" he has wasted a lot of valu
able materia], shoutened the life
of his engine and in the meantime
the automobile hasn't budged an
iuca.
The birds build nests for the
pro'ectioii of 'heir young against
the weather; the foxes dig holes
•'or security against foes; the squir
relts lay by stores of nuts agains*
'he coming of winter; and dogs bur
tones agaiust the day when bones
w j' t be scarce. These are the mani
festations of a normal protective in
sane* arisug from an experience of
many, many generations. So far as
•s known thougn, no bird ev§r tried
'(.• build more nests than his neigh
bor; no fox ever fretted because he
ouly had one hole in which fo hide;
no squirrel ever died of anxiety lest
he should not lay by enough nuts
icr 'wo winters instead of for o(ue;
auu no dog ever lost any sleep- over
tbe fact »hat he didn't have enough
benes laid aside to Provide for
hii declining jears.
This protective iiistinct is also
present in the human mind and
wen prooerly directed is a greaf
source of prosperity froth to the
individual and thg nation. In or
der for man to store up and lay by,
to gain advancement either }n hon
or or material things, it is neces
sary mat he takes some forethough
o' *!ie morroy, but just so soen as
he carries thbeyond the normal
poin» the mental oro<sess becomes ad
exaggerated and abnormal one.
Tin* normal protective instinct fa
stimulated by a normal fear of
those events which arQ reasonably
sure to happen in the future un
loss means ar« adopted against
them. The moment ihat this fear
Vccomes abnormal or exaggerated
if over stimulates this protective
•nsrinct and to no good purpose be
cause it resul's in worry. This
worry continue long after the neces
sity for the normal stimulus of fear
has passed, with the result that
there is an impairment in mental
Dower and a dissipation of the ner
vous forces. In other words, the
mental enging has been, "running
idle" and at the same time deliver
ing so propulsive Denver. In fact,
worry is aa abnormal state.
.Not all worry is preventable but
for tte most part it can. be avoid
ed. Most of our f§ars are never
realized, and as a rule, il jve meet
our troubles day by day as they
c< mo without worrying about them
before they arrive or fretting over
them after they have passed, we
will find that are have the strength,
*o rise above them, >Vorry under
mines the health to a certain extent.
It really weakens the meutal forces
hv tiring them out by doing nothing
I'sually the relief from worry rests
wi'li the victim of this unhappy
h^bi* himself, but sometimes the
real causes are no* t&q onea whichl
setm to explain the condition and
we must go deep into our lives or
have the assistance of those who
are skilled in unraveling mental pra»
cesses,
Ti& best antl<lcte- for worry Is
a change of mental occupation, a
getting away from the scene® Which)
provoke worry, ex«rci3e in the
ooen air, a good book, a pleasant re
creation, or a temporary change of
occupation. AS a mattgr of mental
health, every sufferer from, this Un
fortunate condition ottos it to him
self ro discover som^ simple means
of getting away from this habit
which is destructive to health and
peace of mind aUks.

MONUMENT TO WOMAN PIONEER.
"Developmeut! Development! Di»
velopment!" Thaf hag been the
modern cry interior Alaska for bo
long that the beginnings of her ex
stence have been almost complete
ly overlooked.
r or instance, who ever stops to
<h!nk o' the first trail blazers in
to this country, those who came
here long- before th© thirst for
gold brought in fortune hunters?
Whoever, in these more recent days
o" invasion by the white women,
ever stops to think of the time
when *here wasn't me white wo
man in the interior?.
How many of us are familiar wit
*hr stcry of Mrs. John Bean, Am
erican born, the first white woman
to uenetrat© interior Alaska, the
first white woman to baer a thor
oughbred white child in interior Al
aska, and the first white woman
Juried there?
She and her husband, John Bean;
came to St. Michael in 1S75 and
wen* to Nulato, where B$an traded
for the A. C. Co. Her son was
bofa in 1S75. In 1S78 the family,
disiegarding advice given by the
whites and natves, settled 30 miles
ud the Tanana river, where lived In
dians of bad repute. Here it was
tha- Mrs. Bean was killed while
sealed at her breakfast table. Her
remains were buried at Nulato.
A monument fitting in character
over the grave of this pioneer Wo
man was recently erected by Ruby
