OPENING DAY
It isa matter of special pride to all the people of Are.
more that two of the largest business houses of Philadelphia)’
have selected our town as a place in which to locate, thus in-
creasing its worthas a good place in which to live.
There can te no Conbt that the opening of these fine]
stores will prove of great advantage by reason of the prestige
it will give our town in being recognized by Philadelphia’s
most progressive merchants as the best place along the Main
Line in which to locate,
Ardmore has for some years been noted for its push an?
enterprise, and the addition of two such large stores is certain
to inspire n2w energy and will provide another prospect of}
growth Our nerchants in every line of trade, as well as
private cit’zens, will extend a welcome tothe new-ccmers, and
best wishes that “opering day” will be the Leginuing of |",
future success.
WHY ARE SO MANY WOMEN INVALIDS?
Good Health asks the question, “Why is the American [Sign
woman an invalid?” Womeu are not naturally inferior to
m:n in physical health. Among savages they are fully as
strong and healthy.as meu, doing most of the work, In
Af-ica the best porters are women. In ¢o ue countries they
arz superior to men in endurance. Among ourselves girl |,
bibies and very young girls are as healthy as boys. The
difference in vigor begins when outedoor life is abridged.
Mau’s life is mostly out-door life; woman’s life is indoor life.
The savage woman is superior physically because she dwells| 2,

“Indoor life,” says Good Health,
power to resist disease, and in maiutaining a continual con-
tact with conditions productive of disease. Monkeys and
other wild animals deteriorate rapidly in captivity, because of
the deprivation of the fresh air and sunshine to which they
are naturally adapted.” “Civilized women are,” says an ex-
‘change, “almost compelled to live sedentary lives, This fact
accounts in large degree for the almost universal invalidism | Job

among them.”
“Back to nature,” therefore, is something more than a
faddish cry; it is a promise of vigor and happiness to young] ii,

has to be made between physical vigor, on the one hand, and
the charm of awhite skiu, dainty manner and delicate beauty |?
on theother, let it be made deliberately, with a full recogni. Sno
tion of the evil of iuvalidism. Will the angel be lost in the
tomboy ? Not necessarily. Better a healthy, capable, back-|*)
to-nature wife, most men will say, than a delicate nurtured |:
