"APPETISERS." /

At this time of year, when every- body feels more or less jaded and out-of-sorts, there is a tendency to stimulate the enfeebled' appetite by means of cock-tails, "aperitives and unaccustomed foods. The re 'sult is that the judicious use of a laxative at intervala is more essential than ever, so that the digestive tract may be cleansed and kept in good working order.

Pinkettes are superlatively good for this purpose. Not only do these dainty little laxatives ensure daily intestinal regularity, but they afd the appetite and diges- tion, dispel bllious attacks and sick headaches, koep the liver active and the system cool and clean.

The study brought out a con- siderable difference between men and women. It is generally known that the attention of women is more introspective and not so well fixed as that of men. Men and women were observed in a reading room. It was found that the women would blink every five seconda compared with 11.2 seconds for the men.
