@IRLS have been laughed at for ages
because tiey do not run properly
and becatse ttey toss a ball iD-
~ stead of Throwing it. Now that
they nre acginning to learn, they
are told that natnres has made 1t impossi-
blc for them TO accomplish these things IN
a scientific way. l.
The facts of the physical development OF
women are proving this to be mistake.
Physicians and teachers tell us that it is
true in a very light degree. il at all. 1t
Is true that her ciingiDg skirts and Eer
htiy-ritting waists often make IL well
nigh impossible FOE a girl to take any active
exercise In her ordinary dress.
IL true that she h0s usual y less physical
strength than a boy OF the same age. 1t is
true that girls are, usually less disposed
for active play than boys.
But a girl has some qualities which go
far to make up for these Deficiencies. IL
she has less strength she has more entur-
ance. Aud perseverance and deiermiiia-
tion to excel can overcome nearly all the
drawbacks of her weaker organization.
Many of these are imaginary. A short ex-
perience In healthy sport will convince her
that she is capable OF greater xertion than
she supposed.
Hut women are only now learning to
conquer their bodily Deficiencies. so IL Is
wise for the girl to 70 slowly and carefully
into unaccustomed exercise. Let ber give
herself all the chances of suitable dress,
regular training and knowledge OF the
best way to do everything she undertakes.
So she VIII have nothing TO unlearn and

Glddness Comes

NTith q better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to- any actual dis
4ee, but simply to n constipatcd condi-
n of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts Iii therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
u:able druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
osed and gives most general satisfaction.
