YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE
Mothers! Watch Your Daughters Health
Health Is Happiness

From the time a girl
reaches the age of twelve
until womanhood is estab-
lished she needs all the care
the thoughtful mother can
give.
The condition that the
girl is then passing through
is so critical and may have
such far-reaching effects
upon her future happiness
and health that it is almost
criminal for a mother or
guardian to withhold coun-
Sci or advice.
Many a woman has suf-
fered years of prolonged
pain and misery through
having been the victim of
thoughtlessness or igno-
rance on the part of those
who should have guided her
through the dangers and
difficulties that beset this
period.
Mothers should teach their
girls what danger comes
from standing around with
cold or wet feet, from lifting
heavy articles, and from
overworking. Do not let
her overstudy. If she COM

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
REPORTED DISCOVERY
OF AMBROSE SMALL

Des ,Moines. la, Aug H.-hyster1 sur
rounding the reported discovery In
private residence here Of Ambrose
Small. missing Toronto theatre owner
By two private detectives, was still un-
solved tonight. Neither Frank Harty
nor John Brophy. the detectives couio
be found TO verify reports that they had
Small under surveillance.
Efforts to locate the residence IN
which Small WAS reported to have been
kept were unavailing and the local
police said they could throw no light on
the story. Harty and Brophy, who are
former members Of the Des Moines
police department. were reported 10
have left the city today. Harty last
night said that the veil Of secrecy
thrown about the matter was due to his
announced desire to make certain the OBJ
taInIng of the $4,000 reward offered for
Smalrs recovery.
1t was understood that the man the
two detectives have under surveillance
has lost both legs.
The man is also reported to oe en-
tirely mentally incapac!ated as a result
Of gunshot wounds he is supposed to
have suffered some time ago.
Hnrty and Brophy are said to have
had a dozen or more photographs taken
Of tho man they believe to be Small The
photographs are said to show striking
similarities to the one OF Small sent
broadcast at he time Of his disappear
ance In December 1919.
