Helping Our Young Girls

encouraging sympathetic friendship
among all. Have frequently an open
evening when respectable young
men may come in as guests.
.. Teach every girl to care for
her body and health as the first
guarantee OF long life and happi-
ness. Instruct all especially as to
the ways OF common men-how to
find fellowship with the good, how
to reject the evil.
5. Teach in outline the larger cur
rent events. The mind of the girl
often grows puny and weak partly
from loss OF ability to think the
thoughts OF the world society.
4. Teach informally any class
room intellectual subjects which
may be desired by certain members
Of the group struggling for cduca-
tional supremacy.
8. Teach vocational guidance in
a personal manner. Explain how
one may honestly work for promo
tion how change from one line OF
business to another. how to save
and invest the small savings, how
to prepare for a small business of
ones own. and the like.
Again / say, pity the young work
ing girl who has no advantage of a
sympathetic part-time school. Her
shivering, shivelling soul Is but
reflection OF the or Hninal neglect OF
the community which ignores her
and sbandons her delicate being to
the fierce clutches of commercial
greed.

BY DR.. VIM. A. McKeever,

|IR1.S and young women are be-
ing too much sighted and
ignored by many OF the types
of evening school and vocational
school. In an evening school of
several hundred students so per
cent young men and more than so
per cent mems subjects of instruc-
ton I have just found another in
stance of this one-sidedness. But
mark you. in the same city there
are 40 girls sixteen to eighteen
years of age employed in the tele-
phone exchange.
In shop, factory, store and kitch-
en- many hundreds of thousands of
young girls labor under the heel OF
commercialism and neglect. Fol-
lowed to it's ultimate conclusion
this wrong is a great national trag-
edy. Suffrage! What does that
mean to such cramped young lives?
miliar to them.
The girl who goes to work out
for wages at sixteen tends to de-
cline rapidly. Her powder puff and
thin. makeup may suffice for a
very few years TO cover the blight
which Is already gnawlng at the
soul. Where youth will fight
his way and probably climb over
the obstacles TO some kind OF bet
ter advantage, the typical girl
slowly recedcs within herself and
takes her place as n gentle. mega
tive personality, always subject to
some ones orders and rules OF the
institution.
The rihgt of suffrage. indeed. The
right to grow Is what these girls
need, as they approach the age OF
the franchise. A little narrow
view Of the world and It's mean
ings, timid reaction toward the
grinding affairs Of business, a week
resistance to the encroschments OF
british men, blurred vision Of
and possible encouraging future. a
feeble grip on the forces which
make life worth while-this is the
tale OF woe which actually charac-
terizcs great army OF our six
teen-year-old American girls to-
day, who are pawned out to the
greed OF business enterprise

COnUnLeScent
Patient
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

THE proper handling OF con-
ralcsccnts plays a most i'm
" portant part in the treat
ment OF disease. Too often. after a
patient has been gotten through a
severe illness, the convalescent
period receives scant attention,
and not infrequently dire results
flow from this neglect.
our interest in this important
matter of convalescence has I'M
Goubtedly been stimulated OF late
because OF two things: The in.
fiuenza epidemic and the returned
sick and wounded soldiers from
across the sea.
The organism of n convalesccnt
patient. weakened by an attack OF
acute disease, has been likened to
n town stripped OF its defenses and
helpless before the onslaught OF
any enemy that may appear. There
fore this dangerous period must be
shortened as much as possible and
the normal resistance md vlgor
restored. Nature may be doing her
best. but perhaps she can be as
sisted.
IT is during the period OF con-
N1lNSfnCf NHdt many pfOplt lult
victims TO such infections az tuber-
rulosis. The resumption OF work
and the general strains Of life
prematurelr Is especially apt to
reduce vitality. The old-fashioned
notion that alcohol in some form Ia
valuable In convalesencc has prob
ably been the cause OF many a COM
plete breakdown. since nothing
lowers the resisting powers like
this poison.
One OF the most important OF
things in connection with conval-
csoncc IN diet, since convslesence
Is period OF reconstruction. The

like wsr-torn country entering
upon a reconstruction period. Tho
rebuilding of such n body calls for
nourishment above all things. Tho
cells OF the body have been de-
rleted OF their vital elements. both
because OF the devastations OF the
disease itself and because Of the
reduced diet. Nothing but food can
replace these depleted elements.

and calcium compounds are espcc-
