prominent Chicago physician says
the Chronicle of that city, is author
ity for the statement that twice as
many women as men suffer from mel
ancholia, ,or 1.-THE blues" as his fair
patients generally call the complaint.
And the reason is said the doctor.
they absolutely disregard the rules of
mental and physical we'll being. Rather
than eat what is good for them they
eat what they like and thus bring on
indigestion and melancholia. Then,
again, they would rather sit around on
soft cushions than take health giving
walks in the open air, and they haven't
enough to occupy their minds ana
hands. The women who really have
cause to feel blue seldom if ever are
so affected. The women who have
shiftless husbands, hard hearted land
lords, sick babies and all the usual ac-
compartments 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, So
cial position and a comfortable income
who doesn't find life worth living. 1t
isn't the servant girl who gets up at 6
| to kindle the fire and who slaves all
| day who INDUCES in melancholia, but
| the daughter of the family who arises
| at g. dawdles over her breakfast, reads
little, practices a little, shops a hit
| tie, Graves excitement with all her
heart and is melancholic because she
doesn't have it. Every woman who
| has tendency to melancholia should
have an occupation which, if it doesn't
| entirely absorb her, will at least keep
| her busy. Ordinarily good health,
| plenty of exercise, plenty of work and
an interest in the affairs of this world
are the great preventives and cures of
melancholia."

connection with his visit to the place:
- couple of hours before the lecture
| three young ladies from the college
! called on me at the hotel where I was
staying. I met them in the parlor.
| Three charming, bright, most intelli-
gent looking girls they were. After

as to suggest that the other should

be the spokes woman of the little depu-
| tation.

to ASK if you would be kind enough
to charge the subject of your lecture
