FEED YOUNG GIRLS
Must Have Right Food While Growing.

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain that which is up
building and nothing harmful.
AT that age the structure is being
formed and If formed of healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand un-
healthy cells may be built in and q
sick condition slowly supervene which,
If not checked, may ripen into a
chronic condition and cause lifelong
suffering.

who go with the intention of study
ing it systematically viii add great
ly to their entertainment Aside from
the wonderful morning parade, the
big menagerie and the splendid per-
formances of the afternoon and
evening, there are a thousand odd
sights that will reveal themselves to
those who look for them. And they
are not hard to find.
For instance, in the menagerie Is
exhibited an elephant which was first
put on exhibition in the London zoo
when George Washington was still
president of the United States There
is also Darwin, the missing link, who
is worth more than casual glance.
There are twenty-five animal babies
which are especially interesting to
the children. In attendance on the
family of CRATES is jungle trap
per who has many strange eXperlen-
ces at his tongues end.
In the parade watch for the team
of twenty camels This is the only
time camels were ever driven like
horses Also watch for a team of ze-
bras. Ii will be the first sight of the
kind. Then notice that elephants and
llamas are also used like horses TO
pull heavy tableaux. On entering the
big tent notice the hundreds of cleo
trio lights and gas Jets hanging from
above. The circus has its own light
ing plants. Be sure and listen to the
band 1t is one of the best musical
organizations in the country. The
leader, Albert c. Sweet, is the
champion cornet soloist of the Unit
ed States.
