legs are bare-have at least one thick
ness of stockings-from ankle to knee.
Rarely do the little darlings have a scare
ity of covering for the shoulders and
body, and muffs to keep the hands warm,
but the lower extremities are so thinly
clad that, from ankle to knee, they had
nearly as well be bare. Why is this ?
There is but one Observation-Disclosures
senseless, murderous tyrant that has
slain its millions of women and children
In America. All mothers know of the
evil of which we speak, and of the ne
cessity Of keeping the lower extremities
warm in order to insure good circulation
of the blood and a healthy body, but
how many are there who would not rath-
er sacrifice their children's lives, or make
shattered invalids, than to go one inch
beyond what custom or fashion dictates ?
Ii mothers would dress their girls as
sensibly and as comfortably as they do
the boys few years would witness q
marked change for the better in regard
TO the health of women. The attention
Of fathers as well as mothers ought to be
directed to this important matter. 1t is
lamentable fact that American women
have the poorest health of any women in
civilized countries. If they were dressed
sensibly in childhood, and would, wher
older, wear good heavy shoes, not two
sizes too small, the evil complained o
would in q generation mainly disappear
