Editorials For

BE it business or pleasure. a
girl must look to her looks" says
Miss Florence Lawson, director of
the physical department of Y. w.
c. A. here.
"A dab of powder and a dash
a rouge are not enough" says
Miss Lawson. THE alert business
girl of today realizes that a clear
skin and bright eyes depend upon
supple muscles and good circula-
ton.
More women are engaged in
business and professions in this
country than ever before. The
necessity of being on time every
morning and OF remaining at a
sedentary occupation all day tells
upon a woman's looks If she does
not get exercise.
"The girls and women who stay
at home, ever though they do most
of their housework, have a better
opportunity for resting and for
getting fresh air than n woman
employed downtown. The circu-
lation of air in offices usually is
not of the best and the tension of
office work makes a woman look
old before her time. IL she does
not take the proper physical care
of herself.
paint and Powder will deceive
for a while, but after several yeas
of no recreative exercise a wom-
ans looks are gone, if she sits
at a desk all day. But when a
woman takes care of herself by
gymnastics or by exercise in the
open she is not only preserving
her beauty, but is an asset to her
employer.
"a healthy girl is more efficient
and more contented than an UNI
healthy one"
Miss Lawson Is urging indus
trial ~oncerns to stand back of a
recreation center for business
girls.

How To Keep

Inflammation OF the tect

pain reaches to the knee. keeping
him awake at night. He does lots
of walking on a hard floor. His
arches seem high.
BY all means go to a qualified
physician. Many different conditions
could give rise to these symptoms
A person may suffer pain due to a
weak arch, even though the arch is
still high. Since there is swelling
of the legs, it is suggested that the
doctors examination include an an
alysis of the urine.

Please give me your advice as to
treatment of petit NAL My
daughter. seven, has had 1t two
years. One doctor thinks it could
be due to infected colon, another
one says worms, another that it is
in the nerve center and that taking
bromides for several years will eff

the stomach?
/ am sorry to say that In many
instances the treatment of petit
NAL is unsatisfactory. AS your
physician has told you, the use OF
bromides is one of the well-recog-

some cases the results are good.
Very careful attention should be

While there will be continued

expenditures or money will be mad
by the wealthy.
the stars are read as indicating
the use of money for the finer things,

A tendency to encourage culture

This Is not a kindly direction or
