PROBLEMS OF GIRLS

More and more, one realizes, as one
visits the. various restaurants during
the noon hour, how little attention the
| average girl gives to the care OF her
stomach. Just make the round of eat

watch what the girls order for their
lunches. 1t Is scarcely to be under.

do. That any one with human intelli-
gence would put into her stomach
such foods as some Of these clever
business girls do seems almost incrcd
IDLE. Yet 1t is all too true.
The stomach is but human organ,
very susceptible to good or Ill treat

the one extra straw which broke the

One would think, judging by the femi-,

Their Looks at Stake.
However, where many girls will not
heed a warning with regard to ther
health, they will respond quickly
enough when their looks are at stake
