Bruce.) THS strenuous life la not necessarily a harmful life. But is always harmful when accompanied by worry or by worry' twin sister, hurry. Hurry, indeed, will 'in the last analysis be found compounded of the same elements as worry. This is something which host people forget, or of which they are ignorant, Many a man has "gone to his doctor to (e treated, for nervous indigestion, and in 'reply- to the doctor's questions has in alt xhonssty declared that he does not worry in the lightestA l-' "Whatever else has caused my indigestion." he may say, "it Is not worry. I do not allow anything to worry me.

I realise the folly and the danger of yielding to anxious thoughts." But let the same man be questioned a little further and the chances are that the doctor will drag from him an admission that he is continually in a hurry. The chances also are that he will be vastly surprised, perhaps unbelieving, when told that his hurrying is itself a form of worry. Yet this assuredly the case. Every time a man hurries he hurries because, consciously or subconsciously, HE TEARS THAT HE WILL BE LATE. The.

fact that hurry may be a "mere as most hurriers would describe it, does not exclude the elements, of fear and emotional strain. 1 On the contrary, the habitual hurrier is a man who is constantly under the yoke of a dangerous. If unrecognized, sensation of anxious dread. It la this sensation of anxious dread, existing both in worry and in hurry, than play havoc with the nervous system and the physical processes generally. Of course, hurry is also Injurious by causing men to Indulge In -physically unhyglenlo practices.

The hurrier, for example, who bolts his meals in order to keep an appointment or -get to work is not giving his digestive apparatus a fair chance. Thorough chewing of food, in order to make sure that it will be well, coated by saliva, la one of the Initial requirements for the digestive process. The hasty eater, by the very fact of his eating hastily, refuses to meet this requirement. Nevertheless, even' the hasty eater would get along fairly well' if it were not for the emotional setting that acts both as a background and an lncltant to his generally hurried life. Always there is reverberating in the depths of his mind the on idea, '1 shall be late, I shall be late." Spurring him to ever more hurried action, this idea fairly rivals worry in its destructive influence.

Be strenuous if you so desire. Kay, it is a thousandfold better to be strenuous than to go through life with the Inertia of a clam. But let your strenuoslty be the product of true and deep-seated force and energy, not merely a hurry. The life that Is at once strenuous and hurried is about as daageorus a mode of life as a man could possibly adopt.

McKinney, M. B. Austin, urged that none but regularly licensed embalmers be permitted to engage in1 embalming. He related that in cases that have been called to his attention, that others than licensed embalmers have engaged In the work of embalming, and to legalize their work, they have been permitted to attach the name and certificate number ol a regularly licensed 'In other Instances, he pointed out these (Unlicensed embalmers have dons the workV and afterward it has been approved by ft licensed embalmer. He referred to this as a convenient means of dodging 'the laws.

He took the position that it is necessary to require that none but regularly licensed embalmers be permitted to engage in embalming work, for reasons of protecting the health of the living, if for no other reason. He asserted that it Is essential that a complete death record be kept by the undertaker. In so doing It is possible to oct ermine the origin of diseases in many instances. It is in this way that the family is enabled to collect Insurance, or secure pensions. The society tor the prevention or tuberculosis, he related, depend on the statistics gathered by the undertakers, as a basis for their work.

ACCURATE VITAL STATISTICS NECESSARY TO PREVENT DISEASE. That the work of the undertaker has a definite relation to the health department, was an assertion 'of Dr. C. C. Green, city health officer, of Houston, who was another speaker during the afternoon session.

He told the undertakers that the accurate vital statistics they have been gathering for years has been the source of doing a great deal of good for the prevention of the spread of diseases. Layton C. Puckett, president of the State board of mbalmers, instructed the undertakers on the statutory law of the profession. He related that there have been some irregularities that must be remedied. He pointed particularly to the fact that unlicensed embalmers have been permitted to do embalming with undertakers while the name and license number of another has been used following approval of the latter.

That the undertakers have forgotten business cares and are here for a good time was demonstrated by the entertainment program provided for them on Tuesday. At noon they were entertained with an elaborate Dutoh lunch as guests of the Chamber of Commerce at the banquet hall of the Bender hotel. Immediately upon the adjournment of the afternoon session, automobiles were In waiting for the delegates and aftor a long trip to points of interest about the city they were taken to the rancli of Sid Westhelmer, where a big barbecue had been- prepared by Mr. Westhelmer. Atibther entertainment feature provided for the undertakers is a trip down the ship channel which Is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, through the courtesy of the Chamber of Commerce and local undertakers.
