JUDGING FURS"
A New Book on an Old Subject.
Read with Interest and
Easy to Get.

The country doctor probably makes
better combination of common horse sense
mixed with scientific knowledge than any
ordinary man. At any rate his example may
well be followed touching the use of furs for
health. The successful country doctor wears
furs-generally he owns fur overcoat Tor
fur-lined coat and he wears it, too.
In the northern climate a fur garment IS
health necessity People get along without
turs as they get along without many things,
but a mans wardrobe is not complete with
out fur coat, and, with the other side Of the
house no argument is necessary every
woman needs furs-she needs them for health;
she ought 10 have them for comfort and she
wants them for their beauty and style.
Nothing adds so much to the effectiveness Of
dress as furs.
A new book, nicely illustrated and easily
read in a half-hour-written from the view
point OF the purchaser and Wearer of furs
rather than that of the dealer or manufacturer,
is just from the press, published by Lanpher,
skinner & Co., the ST. Paul fur manufact-
urers, whose product is on ssis in the leading
retail store OF every town in the Northwest
land sold from Maine 20 Oregon. -
This book is called Judging Furs."

,furs, either for themselves or as presents to
friends-men, women or children-this book
is worth asking for-which Is all il costs.

The queen of mountaineers, Mrs. Bullock
Workman, has added one more thrilling
experience to her record of adventure by
accompanying her husband on his great
climb OF $4,000 feet in Kashmir. Mrs.
Workman has several times climbed over
$1,000 feet-higher than any other woman
In the world. The rarefed air at these
great heights has considerable effect on
her. She finds it distressing to sleep at
night beyond an altitude of $4,000 feet.
The diminished pressure shortens her
breathing and she experiences severe
headaches. But, curiously enough, the
headache leaves her after p, 900 feet.
The most famous expert in deciphering

for twenty-five years; In her division she
has thirty-two under clerks. Her mind
has been so trained for her work that

On that great battlefield known as the
Wall street district there are women who
match their brains against the brains of
men, and who now and then win, says
the New York World.
In that district there are thousands of
stenographers of the weaker sex; also
clerks, messengers and even private sec
retaries who wear skirts These young
women rarely come into the limelight. and
are contented to fight a good tight, to
take the losses with the victories, and If
beaten. to turn and fight again. hoping for
a-victory next time
A few OF these brainy young women
have been forced into public notice and
while there have acquitted themselves
well. 1t will be remembered that the
private secretary OF H. H. Rogers-Kath-
crime L. Harrison-by her shrewdness
kept the secrets of her EMPLOYER when
the lawyers of the state of Missouri tried
to wrest them from her.
No man can see Mr.. Rogers without

A woman ashier in Bank.

All the bank cashiers Of the United States
are not men. The exception to this almost
universal rule is found in Joplin, Mo-.
where Mrs. " +. Church, as cashier of
the Bank of Joplin. with number OF
women ASSISTANTS, has carried on the bust
ness OF the bank successfully for number
Of years. Aside from the president. T. w.
Cunningham, formerly mayor OF Joplin. and
the vice president. Phil Arnold, no men
have been employed in the bank for al
most score of years, and yet 1t is known
as one OF the most substantial institutions
in Missouri.
The stockholders Of the bank freely ad-
nit that to the women employees of their
Institution they owe much Of its success
and as it's growth calls for a greater num-
Der OF employees. women are constantly
added to its executive stan.
Seventeen years ago Mrs. Church entered
the employ Of Mr.. Cunningham as house
keeper. She then became teller. and for a
time occupied both positions. Finally her
good work was rewarded with the pro-
motion to the cashiers pest. She became
so far,inated with the work that after her
marriage to Mr.. Church she declined TO
resign her position with the bank for the
attractions offered her in home life. Shs
and her husband now live at the keystone
hotel where she is relieved OF the distaste-
ful duties of housekeeping.
Last year Mrs Church represented the
Bank of Joplin at the annual session OF
the American Bankers association IN
Washington, and was conspicuous as the
only woman representative. She was
roundly cheered at the conclusion or her
report. when 1t was made known that the
bank with a capital stock Of $500 had a
surplus which was at that time exactly
fifty times as great This surplus now
however. 10 fifty-four times as great.
