 Development of Beauty: The stu dent of humanity and the causes ol things may sometimes wonder at the i mysterious methods of nature In per petuating the species. In seeking Io even up things, establishing balance Emmerson suggests this in the Laws | of Compensation.
 Beauty in a man, that is what would be termed beauty of face IS despised by woman. It is strength yigor and virility in men that at- tracts the beautiful woman. One or ten hears theremark made of couples "Isn't it pity that such a beautlfui woman should have such great homely husband" and frequently without knowing the kindly character of the man the word brute or beast is interected.
 Man on the other hand seems to ignore the question of strength and size in choosing a mate. He falls in love with a beautiful face, an attrac- tive figure, a bright and winsome countenance The strong, vigorous man is repelled by the coarse featur- ed. rugged type of woman and seems drawn by an irresistible impulse to the beautifully formed type with beautiful features to match.
 The importance of deVeioplns beauty in woman and strength III men cannot be over-estimated for up- on these two things depend the per petuity of the race. Strange 10 say much of the beauty Of women oe- bends upon the care she receives dur- ing the first two years of her h1e. pr. Ferdinand Herb in his splendid book Beauty and Motherhood,' mas given us many valuable pointers, put few of greater importance than ms chapter 13, from which I quote:
 "Considerable space has been de- voted to the intimate connection be- tween the ovaries, their inner secre- tions and woman's beauty. This has been done for two reasons: Flrst' to emphasize that deficiencies III beauty and sex-characteristics are a form of undevelopment frequently ac- uuired during infancy and childhood through lack of proper care; and sec ond. to emphasize further that these deficiencies should not be regarded as unnreventable or irremediable.
 There is neither justification nor time to bewai1 the cruelty of an un- kind fate. Instead of accepting with resignation the shortcomings of Ma ture. every defect in the development of growing girls should be consid- cred an imperative admonition and arouse parents, guardians, or the af- ficted themselves to seek relief at the earliest possible moment by applying special care in a definite, well defined direction before it is too late. Instead of falling a burden to others, many mothers may be spared years of mis- cry and inefficiency and have their at tra ctiveness, beauty, happiness and productiveness materially increased provided adequate attention is paid to the essentials during their growing years.
 While it is true that extraordinarily hgood results are occasionally accom- plished in the undeveloped adult by systematic and persistent endeavors, full success is rare. To arrest un- favorable tendencies completely and to produce a physique insuring health, efficiency and beauty, the efforts must begin during the period of infancy or early childhood. At that time the out CT form and inner organs are unfold ing and can readily be molded into perfect shape. Never again in life IS this opportunity offered. It is the care and attention the future mother receives at this period of her exis- tence which largely determines her efficiency as wife and mother and lays the foundation for her future health and beauty.
 Special attention has been paid to the first and second years of life, not without good reason. A good start made at that time is indispensable to direct development into the right channels and to lay the foundation upon which future efforts can build with success.
 Four factors are influential to as- sure the physical development of the tender girl into strong and beauti- full mother: CD Food, @ Exercise, (3) Sleep, (4) Water, air and light '
