on the quality of roast beef the man has

biographies OF Dandolo and Melzi fail to
describe thsi- s.omachs, but there is
little doubt That they were splendidly

that fact rather than to their fine heads

at least, was descended from very old
family, and it is a known fact that the
stomachs Of members Of Old families

than their heads. Hence the aphorism,
"Blood will tell"
Nearly all monarchs are rge-stom-
ached men, while Presidents of the
United States have been notoriously
srau-stomached. The reason Of this
difference is plain, and supports our
theory the Monarchs of Europe are re-

free citizens of the United States think
for their Presidents, they merely execut-
ing their wishes. Does not this show
conclusively that thinking develops the

That the stomach controls the head is
