illness long At thirty.five she Is a

The Mexican girl of fourteen is as old
as the American Of eighteen. and she
grows old faster. This is partly due to
the climate and partly due to the life
she lives. Mexican women of the low
er or middle class pay little attention

Of indigestible foods, and they are not

Of the lower class are Of Indian or
Of mixed race. partly Indian, partly
