WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.
Here Are Two Who Have Proper
Physical Development.


Things one woman has done may at
any time be done by another woman.
Think on that proposition. Physical
development is at present neglected
among women to the extent of posi-
tive sin, sin against their beautiful
bodies. Physical development is what
the sex needs today. How strong and
splendid and able to take care of itself
the feminine body is when properly
trained you may know from the cases
of little girl and young woman

demonstrate to you what you feel in
your bones already-that the alleged
weakness and cowardice of woman are
not really natural at all. but an arti-
fetal growth upon our civilization.
First there is Bertha Elose Grant,
COW girl of Arizona. 1t has been said
that no Gov Joy rough rider in Arizona
Is the equal of this fourteen-year-old
girl. That is probably stretching
things, but she is certainly as skillful
and fearless a rider as any man among
the worlds leading horse heroes, the
cowboys.
Physically that female child is the
most happy and fortunate who has 10
women over her to constantly repress

MISTAKES GIRLS MAKE.

Miss Debutante.
TELLING their troubles to other girls"
responded Mrs. Worldlywise promptly.
Lord help the innocent who does that.
The number of women who cannot
keep a secret is positively appalling.
The shortness of women's friendships
is also appalling. Now, while there are
women who will keep secrets as long
as friendship lasts, there are prac-
tcally none who will keep any kind of
a secret after it IS all over. Therefore,
when you have contided in u woman,
