WOMEN WORK AND PLAY TOO
HARD SAYS WHITE CROSS
LEADER

That the high pressure at which life
is being lived today especially by young
women is largely responsible for their
unsatisfactory physical condition is the
belief OF Mrs. II. G. McCredic, State
Chairman for the tuberculosis Christ
mas Seal Sale for the Washington
tuberculosis Association.
Women in general" said Mrs. Nc
Creole should learn the secret of
leisure, The average woman is too
eager to keep busy. We work too hard
and we play too strenuously, drawing
constantly upon our nervous energy to
carry us through and the result Is that
too many break down under the strain.
Our daughters continued Mrs.
McCredie must be trained to con-
serve their energy and they should be
taught the true meaning Of leisure by
the example set for them by older
women, who appreciate the value Of an
ordered life.
"Poise and calmness can be culti-
waited by very busy people and are
noticeable characteristics of the worlds
great leaders.
Tuberculosis makes its presence felt
early among those who are in run
down physical condition, and although
progress is being made generally in
decreasing the death rate, 1t is not
being greatly reduced among young
women. Statistics show decline Of
only 10 per cent for girls between is
and 20 years of age as contrasted with
% per cent for boys the same age.
