why Women Have the "Blue.."

"Why do SO many women have melan-
cholaY' repeated the doctor, who has a
large practice among the depressed and
nervous feminine population. Because
they don't care To avoid It; because they
absolutely disregard the rules of mental
and physical well being; because they
would rather eat what they like and suffer
indigestion and the blues afterward than
to eat what Is good for them, but doesn't
tickle their palates because they'd rather
sit about on soft cushions than take a
tramp six miles through the open air; be-
cause they haven't enough to occupy their
minds and their hands.
Then the doctor paused to take breath
and began again somewhat less aggres-
siyely.
at is never the women who have cause
to feel blue" he said, 'who indulge In
blues. The women who have shiftless hus-
bands, hard hearted landlords, sick babies
and all the usual accomplishments Of
poverty never grow so depressed that they
have to be treated for it. They are too
busy. It's the woman with an adoring
family, social position and comfortable
income who doesn't find life worth living

Systematic exercise is good for grown
people, but it rarely overcomes the defects
that started In childhood and which might
have been easily prevented by proper phys
ioal culture while at school.
You account for persons being defective
In intelligence by saying they did not re-
ceiye proper or sufficient mental training
while they were young
Many physical defects may be accounted
for In the same way.
And now that impaired health Is gener-
ally attributed TO defective physical devel-
opment the necessity for physical culture
appears all the more imperative
Nor must we expect results too soon.
Children receiving such culture give more
or less evidence of being benefited, but not
until they have become fully developed will
we be able to see the full benefits. As well
expect to see the real benefits arising from
school education before the individual has
arrived at maturity.
1t Is being more and more generally con-
ceded that healthy body is necessary to a
healthy mind. -Pittsburg Commercial Ga

A WORD TO THE WISE
Postmaster Mathews Suggestions
About Postage Stamps

Postmaster Mathews says he can't un-
delstand why merchants who accept
postage stamps in payment for outside
bills don't see that they are cutting off
their own noses to spite their faces. One
of the principal sources of revenue in
any postoffice is it's sale of stamps, and
the grade of a postoffice is determined
by the showing it makes in it's revenues;
therefore, if a Los Angeles merchant
accepts payment from elsewhere, of any
amount in stamps, he doesn't have to
buy them here, and this postoffice is just
so much poorer in consequence as the
one elsewhere is richer by the amount
his debtor paid for the stamps.
Another grievance is, and this one is
more serious, postmasters from outside
districts come in and sell stamps inquan-
titles to their friends among the mer-
chants. This last is against the law and
is liable to cost an enterprising postmas-
ter his "job" if he is detected, and the
result is the same-this postoffice has
less of a showing to make, the other a
greater showing. Whereas, if the mer-
chants would patronize the office here
for everything the receipts would be i'm
proved. the Office graded higher and lar
ger appropriations would result in bet
ter and quicker service.
