st. LOUIS FIRM TABoos
PRETTY GIRL CASHIERS

st. Louis, September 2.-''Wanted-
Cashier, an ugly cashier; permanent po-
%sition; apply at once. Grimm & Cor.
ley, florists, ZOE Washington Avenue.
Ask for Mr.. Gorley."
This startling advertisement will ap.
pear among the wants in the st. Louis
newspapers tonight. II is one of the
few eases on record in which personal
unattractiveBess has been listed ms a
desirable qualification in "a candidate
for a ''iob.' Whether any young wo.
man will find il possible to apply for
n position thus advertised is n prob
lem, the solution of which Mr.. Gorley
expects to find.
Too frequent peals of wedding bells
for previous cashiers ut the florist = IL
given as the reason for the attempt
on the part of the firm to get an lug
ly" money handler. II is not desired,
il is explained, 10 engage one who is
''ugly'' in temper. The short word ap.
plies only to appearance.
Five cashiers, not ugly. during the
last year, have resigned the position
now vacant, to handle the money of n
man, not a firm, and the departures
Of some of them have been 80 unexpect.
ed as to seriously inconvenience their
employers.
A member OF the firm SAID tonight
that all the previous cashiers have been
pretty girls, some of them very pretty,
and to that circumstance alone he con
tributed the failure Ia keep the posi-
ton filed.
Then there il a good deal of flowery
talk about a florist S shop, the dealer
in posies holds, which helps the most
casual acquaintance to bloom into u
full grown romance aud leads to a
chsncel rail artistically decorated with
American Beauties and ferns.
Another factor deserving considers
tion, in the opinion of the florist phil
osopher, Is the fact that young men
who habitually spend their money in
flower shops are more susceptible TO &
pretty girl Is charms than those who dc
not.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL

Witness Describes H o W
Road Was Robbed in
Wholesale Fashion With
Connivance of officials.
PAYING DOUBLE
FOR EQUIPMENT

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Fred G. Bsrbott,
yard inspector for the Ostermann Man.
ufacturing company, one of the con
Germs charged with grating In Illinois
Central railroad car repair contracts,
today on the witness stand described
in detail methods which he said were
used TO defraud the railroad company.
Barbott said that Illinois Central cars
in strings of from ten to fourteen
-were switched into the yards of the
Ostcrmann plant at the close Of the
working day. Then at night, he said,
Henry G. Ostermann, president Of the
0%stermann, frequently directed the dis.
mantling Of the ears. Air hose, angle
cocks, brake shoes, bolts aud various
other equipment were stripped from
the ears, Barbott testified. Water was
then applied TO the various parts where
equipment had been removed, so that
rust would form and make the equip.
ment appear old.
The equipment taken from the cars
was kept by the ostermann company,
said Barbott, TO make repairs. In this
way the railroad company was paying
at least twice for much OF it's ear equip.
ment.
Barbott also declared that some Of
the Illinois ear inspectors were receiv.
ing pay checks from the Ostermann
company and that he had seen various
Illinois Central officials, including Frank
II. Hartman, former general manager,
visit Ostermann's Offices in the shop
yard.

writer In the Boston Medical and Surgl-

excessive use OF tobacco may by indirect
action produce a toxic effect upon

The III effects Of tobacco smoke upon
existing diseases OF the throat arising
from other causes is established and is

and systemic nervous disturbances may
arise from excessive use OF tobacco in
any OF its forms Is unquestioned; the
nicotine content OF tobacco Is a recog-

To Allow Long Crying Spells Il to

One OF the most foolish. as we'll as the

nurses ignorant Of the simplest child
psychology, known as letting the little
one cry 1t out" Some wee thing we'll

year old, wishes 10 do. OF not to do,

child is destined % develop an obstinate

every occasion battle, a most uneven

Gazette.
The little mite is told quite rightly
that he viii have nothing II he cries.
And then he is Jerked up into a cot. a
