A careful examination of the hearts of the vegetarian and the meat eater 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 cliraate , or in our own winters , the heat generated by such slow heartbeats - boats would hardly be suflicient to make life strong and resisting enough. The true verdict that one must reach is that the vegetarian s better off In the summer and the meat-eater stronger in the winter. Tid-Bits. Wished They Thought Po.

PINKIIAM. ] 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 undei- stand her condition should write to Lynn , Mass. , to Mrs. Pinkham 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 : "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : Iharesvi- fered for over two years with falliap- , enlargement and ulceration of the wombv 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 JTOU 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. " L/3'dia E.
