THE AMERICAN GIRL
Has Pushed Herself Forward Into
Every Field of Usefulness.
FITTED TO MEET MISFORTUNE.
A True Exponent Of the American Idea
Of the Dignity of Labor.
THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM A WITNESS

1wR1TTEN FOE THE DIsPArcz1
ut is q curious fact that there vers M
girl babies in the Garden Of Eden"
"No boy babies, either, I believe"
"That is of less consequence" said IN.
f rst speaker, who was a mother of dauob.
ters. "Of course, there wouldn't be bow,
because no mischief was contemplated
You see, it was already place of perfect
happiness; so the girls were not needed.
Afterward, when Adam and Eve had been
driven out and all the trouble in the world
was on their shoulders, God in His mercy
sent dau ghters to comfort them"
The mother who evolved this novel sx-
planation intended no disrespect to the bows
She wished merely to emphasizs the girls.
But was there ever a time when the import
ance Of girls needed emphasizing? 1t csr-
tainly does not now, for the girls are declar-
ing themselves; and in the most sensible
and charming manner possible. Just at the
time when good many of our young men
are turning their backs scornfully upon all
industry save the toll of spending the money
their fathers got for them, countless multi
tudes OF our girls have suddenly grown
tired of constituting a leisure class, and
have swarmed into every field of work and
enterprise.

Into Every Field.

Within the memory of middle-aged
people, the girl who was unhappily
compelled to earn her own living had this
range of choice: She could teach; she could
sew; she could go out to service; she could
take in washing; in a few localities she
could work in the factories. Now the girl
who is compelled to work-and the girl who
Is not compelled-has stepped with self
possessed grace upon pretty nearly every
round of the industrial ladder. She becomes
doctor. and is just as likely as her brother
to get good practice. She becomes law
yer, and gets along somehow. She studies
architecture, and succeeds at it. She studies
art, not merely that she may paint pictures.
but that she may get money returns She
takes possession of business Offices, and long
ago she became the majority behind the
sales counters. And every day she under
takes something new and makes q success
of it.
The girl who works is no longer regarded
with compassion. Rather she is admired
and many times is envied. 1t is not alone
that necessity drives her that she works, Il
Is because ambition calls. She wants a
career of useful activity, and she makes il
for he:self She has as much social lie az
her ambitious brother, and she enioys il
with keener zest than ever before.
And she will marry when the right time
and the right man presents himself, and il
the hand OF misfortune shall smite, she will
not sink helpless under the blow.

The success which has attended tht
treatment of foreign bodies in the stom
ach by the administration simply o:
large amounts of potatoes and restrict
ing the diet to the same-now favorite
substitute for gastrotomy in European
practice-is due, as explained, to the
well-known fact that potatoes, being
composed of nearly twenty per cent. o:
carbohydrates, eighty, per cent Of the
solids being starch and cellulose, . grea,
portion of this large quantity Of carbo
hydrates resists the action of the diges.
tive juices; the cellulose and other car
bohydrates, increasing greatly in vol
ume from inhibition with water, lead te
an immense accumulation Of indiges,ible
residue, consequently the intestinal tube
is, throughout the entire period Of the ad.
ministration of this food, filed With
large masses OF non-absorbable matter,
the folds Of the intestine become
obliterated, and dxation of the foreign
body in the intestinal tube is thus
avoided. It seems that from fve K
nine days, or even longer, are required
for the evacuation Of the foreign body,
and in every case which does not seen

to Prof. Billroth, in his address before
