Vccetarlans ami Meat Eafrg. A careful examination of tli3 hearts of the vegetarian and the meat eatei show that the number of beats to the former are fifty-eight to the minute and of the latter seventy-two. In twenty- four hours this means a difference of 20,000 beats. From this it is concluded that in the summer time the vegetarian has the advantage , for he can keep cooler and in better health under the reduced number of heart beats. But in a cold cliruate , or in our own winters , the heat generated by such slow heart beats would hardly be sufficient to make life strong and resisting enough. The true verdict that one must reach is that the vegetarian is better off In the summer and the meat-eater stronger in the winter. Tid-BHs. Wished They Thought Fo.

PIXKIIAM. ] A woman with the blues is a very un comfortable person. She is illogical , unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as " the blues , " nearly always , with wo men , results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science , any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't imdei- stand her condition should vrrite to Lynn , Slass. , to Mrs. Pinlcham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com mon sense , and is the counsel of a learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT , Westphalia , Kansas , as told in the fol lowing letter : "DEAK MRS. PINKHAM : Iharesi- fered for over two years with falhnpr , enlargement and ulceration of the womb * and this spring , being in such a weakened condition , caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago , urged by friends , I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which 3'ou advised for a short time , that terrible flow stopped. "I am now gaining strength and flesh , and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed , suffer ing women , do not suffer longer , when there is one so kind and willing to aid you. " Lj'dia E.

He never discharges a man if he can possibly avoid it. If the man is not doing good work where he is , he puts him in some other department , but never discharges him if he can find him other work. He will not , however , tolerate intemper ance , laziness or getting into debt. Some time ago a policeman entered his office. In answer to Mr. Armour's question , "What do you want here ? ' ' he replied : "I want to gnrnishee one of your men's wages for debt. " "Indeed , " said Mr. Armour ; "and who is the man ? " Asking the oflicer into his pri vate room he sent for the debtor. "How long have you been in debt ? " asked Mr. Armour. The clerk replied that he had been behind for twenty years and could not seem to catch up. "But you get a good salaiy , don't you ? " "Yes , but I can't get out of debt. " "But you must get out , or you must leave here , " said Mr. Armour. "How much do you owe ? " The clerk then gave the amount , which was less than a thousand dollars. "Well , ' 'said Mr. Armour , handing him a check , "there is enough to pay all your debts , and if I hear of your again retting into debt you will have to leave. " The clerk paid his debts and remodeled his life on a cash basis. 8 access.
