she is preparing her lessons, one will
find the average girl sitting or standing
so badly that narrow chest and crooked
figure are the result. If the girls good
sense cannot keep her from being round
shouldered. her vanity must be appealed
TO. An effort in this last direction will
sometimes accomplish what any amount
of admonition will not Allowing the
feet TO become wet is another folly

life long injurious results The constant
nibbling of candy, eating of indigestible
lunches. hasty swallowing of coffee ON

to get off to school, all help to under
mine a girls health.
"Dreadfully stupid to read all this,
isays our young girl who realizes that
she commits all these errors of conduct.
Yes, but you will be glad ii you abandon
them. If ut 20 you are straight, of good
physique, with fine complexion and UNI
ruff1ed demeanor as the result of taking
care OF yourself you will feel that the
self culture of school days paid well.
Let the young girl be comfortable, wear
hygienic garments in the daytime; put

If before you start to study you can
have good, hearty bout at the bean

surprise most persons to know how many
people are out of proportion and have
the right side developed more than the
left Ii children are taught to use both
hands equally well, the arms and should
ers are developed equally. Swimming
is one of the best exercises TO teach the
equal use of both sides of the body, and

whose body is symmetrical not only can
endure the strain of school days but she
