CULTIVATION OF WEAK, WEEDY FIGURE. By Telegraph. -Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 15, 10.10 am.) LONDON, February 14. Sir Harry Bruce Porter, late SurgeonGeneral in the British Army, speaking on behalf of the Co-operative Convalescent Fund in London, said it was a tragedy to see so many girls trying to get willowy figures. "Why girls want to look like weak, weedy young men I can’t imagine,” he said, "but they’ll get that figure, and with it digestive trouble and a risk of consumption.”
