HUMANITY HEIR TO BLUES"
Work Alone Seems to Be the Sure
Cure for the Devils.

The blues have no special reason for
being unless the oId-time idea is right,
that they come from a disordered state
of the liver. That the liver is closely
connected with the mental attitude re-
sulting from an attack of the blue is
indicated by the fact that dyspeptics
are, as a general thing, morose and
given to broOdingS. But this does not
hold good in all cases, for there are
some notably cheerful dyspeptics who
Joke over their enforced dieting and
their lack of flesh.
The active grief that follows a be-
reavement or fit OF illness or business
troubles is in no way the same thing
as the depression that comes up when
there is clear sky and envelops every
thing in its fog. The one has a rea-
son for being, the other is not so much
q rebellion against conditions, joys and
sorrows It is the condition which in
many cases produces suicides other
wise unexplainable.
So says clever woman doctor, who
points out that, oddly enough, in hospi-
tails the blues are not common among
the patients and colvalescents. There
is too much of real suffering to admit
of the brooding, self-analyzing condi-
ton that attacks people without reason
in the world outside.
THE weather." she says 'is one of
the principal inviters of blues. A week
of bad weather increases suicides and
fills people with dependency. In many
cases it is inseparable from a despond-
ent state of mind The east wind has
always been accused of producing low
spirits.
But, on the other hand. people can
inherit the brooding and gloomy tenn
permanent just as they inherit sharp
wits or dull ones, kindly dispositions or
the reverse. There are some who begin
as children to complain and whine over
their small troubles, and if the habit
is allowed to grow they find that life
is a bore to them before they reach
maturity.
Very busy people whose minds and
whose bodies are actively employed are
not apt to suffer from the dread de-
preston of the blues. Work, in fact, is
one of the best panaceas, and in many
cases of nervous prostration, which
with women is closely allied to the des-
pondent mental condition, hard work
in the home is prescribed as remedy"

Standard made an effort to drive Knapp
