(a talk with Mlts, riNKIUH )
A woman with tho blues is a very nn
comfortable pcr.son, Mio is (Holonl,
unhappy nnd frequently hysterical.
Tho condition of the mind known ns
"tho blues," nenrly always, with wo
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
It is n s,ourco of wonder that in this
ngo of advanced medical science, nny
person Rhould still believe that mcro
force of will nnd determination will
overcome depressed spirits and norv
ousnest in women. Thcso troubles aro
Indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under

Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Plnkhnm for her
nelvlcc. Her ailvlco Is thorough com

Sujdam, of the flio department, de
spite the fact that the approval of tho

of tho Joint flic department commit
tee, was also passed favorably.
Mr. Finn, chairman of the Joint fire
department committee, which vocifer
ously avowed It would not npprove any
bills contracted by Acting Chief Suy
dnm, was present at the auditing com
mittee meeting, but offered no objec
tions further than to say In tesponse
to a question from Mr. Tevvksbury that
it has been customary to insist that
nil flro department bills should have
the approvnl of the fire department
committee befoie being submitted to
the auditing committee.
The bill for expense for the annual
parade and Inspection of the flro de
partment, amounting to S379, was
among those approved. The appro
priation was 3400, an extra $100 having
been ullovved by way of the city's con
tribution to the fair fund.
The long standing bill of $114.50 of
A. J. Rogan for work on the approaches
to the Leach creek culvert. In the Sec
ond ward, was lef erred to Mr. Finn,
with Instructions to draw up an ordin
ance appropriating money to meet the
claim.

countered for the first time in a batch
of bills submitted by the park com
missioners. Twelve pounds of clscoes,
four pounds of smelts, two hundred
po.unds of bread, two bushels of nuts,
one hundred and twenty-two pounds
of beef and two hundred and forty

It was explained that these delicacies
