Ky pr. Clifford C, Robinson WOMEN ARI, STRONGER

Recently 1 read an article com blaming how many women were los ing the sap of life" as the article expressed it. Through change in oc- equation, mode of living. change ir marriage relations and the ayera ge number of children. weakness was at tacking our female population. Wom- en in working occupations. where the strictest regulations are not enforced were gradually showing et-down in physical condition. The spirit of don't care" seemed to preyade many districts where workers predominated
 I must confess that to me, it seem- ed to be all the other way, so far as physical or athletic conditions arc concerned. Tn fact, l am strongly ot the opinion that many kinds of work improved rather than weakened wom- en in general.
 More women even of the middle and working classes enter into sports oi some kind today than ever before They wear fewer clothes 10 hinder and impede their movements. Their gar rents are also far more sensible and conducive 10 health in every way.
 It is well known that even mod crate amount of exercise causes the heart to beat more quickly. Unless the exercise is excessive. although the heart beats fast, there is steady, regular rhythm, so that the right Nen- tricle sends more blood through the vessels of the lungs and the left ven- ,ricle more blood through the rest Of the body. This increase of blood through the lungs permits more oNy- gen to be taken into the blood and more carbonic acid to be eNcrcted, and both Of these conditions arc favor able to muscle growth and bodily health.
 Perhaps the best gain Of all 10 girls and women through exercise is by an increase in appetite. II enables food to be more rapidly absorbed from the stomach and intestines as well as giving more complete oxida- ton in the tissues.

Nfadge Tells the Doctor


 Now tell me everything you know about your friend, the younger Mrs. Durkee." he commanded. "Remember. everything. I'll not be- tray your confidence, but I want to talk to her presently, and I'd like to know what ground I'm standing on."
 How do you know that" parried. but the quizzical look he gave me cut short the query.
 Tt is my business to know things and to read faces, my dear" he said quietly. But let us not waste time"
 There was something so compell- ing in his manner, and he imbued me with a sense of the necessity of giving him all my knowledge of Leila, that I gave him not only every scrap of information l possessed. but outlined my fears for her as we'll. told him of Bess Dean, what I knew and what l suspected-and of Leila's shuddering dislike and fear of the girl. l even told him of the whispered confidence my little friend had given me, and her terror Of the possibility which normally would have been her dearest joy.
 You only have confirmed my own thought" the famous surgeon said when l had finished, but you have made it much easier for me to talk with her When I have finished I want you to remain with her while I have an fashioned seance with that nice young idiot, her husband. We'll straighten things out for the little lady, never fear. As for that girl you speak of-Dean you said, didn't you?--she simply has to be shooed off the map. Can you man age that"
 'I don't know" returned. T will try my best, But" in sudden panic, Alfred mustn't dream that either Leila or mentioned Bess Dean to you"
 The quizzica look flashed again into my brother-in-lsw's eyes.
 "1 have been in this world n long time. my dear" he said, but I scarcely needed his words. abashed as otherwise would have been at them, for glowering at me from the doorway I saw Dicky. who evidently.i had heard me speak Bess Deans name,

 There was no charrin in my dis covery from nicky's frowning face that he had heard Dr. Braithwaite's utteranee Of Bess Deans name, there l by knowing that l had told him Of | her manoouyres against Leila's hap piness, Rather, my spirits rose mar tiully to the challenge in my hus- bands expression. With no personal | eG Gnation involved. for l knew lnat 1 Pcss Dean had no more lure for | Dicky than Katie had, felt free to | wage the fight in Leila's behalf that 1 long had planned.

 "Yes," Dicky replied sulkily, then turned to Dr. Braithwaite with more courteous mien.

With wire and pliers you can
make baskets, cooking utensils.
lamp shades, puzzles, and many
other things. Wire bending is a
trade of its own, and one which
everybody can easily try, for wire
is inexpensive and there's no need
worrying about spelling a few
pieces.
The puzzle in the picture is one
of the most interesting wire toys
to make. It is very simple to put
together, but it is a real puzzler to
take apart.
Part A should be made first. Cut
a piece of wire TX inches long and
form eyes at each end by bending
the wire around a piece of dowel
stick y inch IN diameter.
