The late Senator Hanna sat in a

THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL.
Her Sweet and Unaffected Ways.

M UGH has been written about
|" the American Girl and her
reasons for being pre-emi-
nently the most attractive girl in
the world. In bringing up girls
mothers can't be too careful to let
their daughters develop all their nat
ural charms to the utmost. She is
most attractive who is sweet, unaf-
fected, cordial and unconscious of
self. Such a kind of girl will not
have to run after men. The MEN
will save her the trouble. She will
be courted by many men if she holds
herself with a sort of unconscious
dignity and indebtedness. 1t de-
wolves upon a mother to talk to her
daughter-to make her confidant
NOT only about these matters in
early girlhood and when they are
poisoning into womanhood, but
she should advise her about her ply
steal make up and her special or
gans.
FROM MAIDENHooD TO woMANHooD.
The crucial epoch of womans
life is the change from maidenhood
to womanhood. 1t involves the
whole body and manifests itself in
the nervous disposition at this time.
If wonnankind lived close to nature,
did not wear corsets, live in heated
atmospheres, becoming subject to
taking cold easily, she would drift
into womanhood naturally and with
out suffering. Owing, however, to
our modes of living and the forced
condition of a young girls brain, the
pelvic organs and the brain take up
too much of the blood and other Or
gans are left without sufficient nour-
ishment. In this way girls become
delicate and the tissues are not suf-
ficiently nourished. Many mature
woman traces back her troubles and
her bad health to this early period.
Often the strain is too great, and tor
this reason proper precautions
should be taken. Perhaps the mother
or daughter have some delicacy
about talking with their home ply
sician on these matters. 1t is then
best to consult by letter with a ply
stefan of recognized eminence, who
has had a medical training, fitting
him for the practice of medicine. 1t
would be very foolish for one TO
consult some woman who had not
particle of medical training in pref
erence to physician who is bound
on honor not to divulge the conf
dences reposed in him, and whose
training has been thorough in the
study of anatomy and materia med
lea, coupled with wide. experience

ner. He will not advise any one to

Fresh air and sunshine are always

dicated for the girl who is pale and

certain to do no harm. Make it a
practice once a week to take some
mild laxative" One of the first lit
tie liver pills on the market,and also
the best is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei

day. They are found for sale almost
everywhere, particularly advised by
the honest druggist unless he has
pill of his own make to sell. These
Pellets" of DR.. Pierce are entirely

jure the most delicate system.

portunity of a lifetime, for the
