much or the wrong food principles.
These large white veins have their re-
turn flow through the liver, and II that
organ is not acting in a normal fash

In the lower part OF the body, which
means an untoward effect upon the
whole circulation. In this way women
lay the foundation for much of their
especial ill-health.

THE Beginning Of Maturity y
At certain definite years, varying
with climatic conditions, changes oc-
eur which indicate the beginning OF
maturity in the life Of the young girl
This process may occur anywhere from
eight to sixteen years of age. In trop-
ical climates It takes place at the
earlier, and In cold climates at the
later age. The average age for tenn
perate climates is from fourteen to IF
teen years, but many girls reach ma
turity at the earlier periods even in
temperate climates This will happen

tions that are too stimulating. This Is
undesirable, and parents should see
that their children live healthfully. To
this end abundant out-of-ts)ors, sun
shine. exercise, proper bathing, dress
ing, regular meals OF wholesome food,
Is necessary, while late hours, excessive
excitement of music, dancing and the
reading or fiction are to be avoided.
All these things are desirable il not
carried to excess. There should al
ways be a judicious admixture of work
and play in the childs life, while brain
and hands should be taught useful
things. Happy the child, and after
wards fortunate the woman, who is
