FRESH AIR, sunlight and
long hours of restful sleep
are good friends to beauty.
No woman can afford to inn
peril her health, lose youthful
appearance through neglect.
And fatigue will wear her out

Correct WEIGHT

There is no question that
many girls are as thin as skim
milk and would be better off
for putting on 10 10 Is pounds.
But there are just AS many. If
not more. girls who are over
weight and need 10 reduce.
Health isn't stored up along
with the excess pounds, al
though some folks seem 10 think
so. The weight al WHICH you
are healthiest and do your best
work is the weight that is nor
mal-for your structure.
Any girl who weighs less than
100 pounds for five feet Of
height with an allowance Of
five pounds for each extra inch
should set about gaining. That
is the least you should weigh
even with slight frame. But
any OF you who weigh more
than 10 pounds for five feet.
with five pounds added for each
extra inch. should cut out all
the foods that do not furnish
anything but calories. The
only exception is the girl with
the very heavy frame who can
carry 10 per cent more weight.
That is normal for her.

On Saturday afternoon last,
Laura Deakyne, his youngest
daughter, passed away. She was
taken sick about a week before her
sister Mary died, and has been in
a critical condition until her
death. She was in her 18th year,
and like her sister, Mary, was a
girl of estimable character. Both

Two of Mr.. Deakyne's boys are
down with the same disease,
though one of them, Everett, is
convalescing. Oliver remains about
the same and is still in a critical
condition. Great sympathy is ex-
pressed for Mr.. and Mrs. Deakyne,
in their sad bereavement and the
terrible strain under which they
have been. No cause as yet can be
attributed to the origin of the dis
ease. The drinking water has been
analysed and the health condition
of the property investigated, and
all have been found in good condi-
tion. 1t is a singular case that
four in a family should be taken
down with the same disease at
about the same time, where there
is no epidemic in the neighborhood.
