WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Some Reasons In Answer to the
Question. Why Do They Fail:
To the question. why do women fail
In husiness?" the secretary of q wo.
mans employment bureau in London
recently said: Not long ago | set my.
self TO solve that problem. l had be.
fore me the particulars Of some 250
girls and women for whom a certain
society had been unable to find work.
In nearly q hundred of these cases
want Of training was set down as the
chief reason that work could not be
found. or another fifty deficient edu.
cation was the main hindrance.
Il think some women fail in business
for these reasons-want of training,
which is another name for lack of ex-
perience, and deficient education. II
insufficient experience prevents girl
from being accepted as clerk or a
nursery gOverness, how much more
likely is it to prevent a woman from

one should begin at the bottom and
work upward. 1t is fatal mistake to
try to learn business from the top.
and those who have committed the
blunder by constituting themselves EN-
ployers and mistresses Of large enter
prises have often fallen to the bottom
more abruptly than was pleasant.
"Some women ascribe their failure
to want of capital. but l do not regard
this difficulty as a serious one. Too
much capital, which prevents woman
from getting any real knowledge of
business and leads her to be extrava-
giant in her ideas, is quite as often a
hindrance as the possession of too lit.

mechanism of his body as he under
stands the machinery of the mill, he
would know that when a man is weak
and run down, when his activities are
slowed down if not altogether stopped,
there is something wrong with the power
plant of the body.
The power plant of the body includes
the stomach and it's associated organs of
digestion and nutrition. All physical
strength is derived from food digested
and converted into nutrition. Nutrition
is the power which runs the body.
When nutrition fails the body fails. The
chemical changes by which food is con-
verted into nutrition take place in the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts. When the stomach is diseased,
the nutrition is reduced and the body's
power is reduced in proportion.
A DOCTORS DIcTUM.
An eminent physician in lecture 70
medical students, said in Substance,
vWhen you are called on by sick per-
son the first examination must be di-
rected to the stomach" Just as the
mechanic knows the powers off when
the machinery stops, so the physician
when he sees man weak, tired, and
helpless, knows the power is off. The
food the man eats is not being converted
into nutrition. When food is digested
assimilated and converted into nutrition
it must strengthen the body. When the
body is weak, deficient in vitality and
vigor, it must be because it is INSULT
GENTLY nourished, either from lack of
food or because the food eaten is not
digested and converted into nutrition
Popularity and generally this condition
is described as cweals stomach" or
cstomach trouble"
