Where Country Girl. Make Good.


New York.-The frivolous girl
doesn't stand a show when it comes to
working in telephone Office. Though
there was a time," says an ofiicial of
New York company. when tele-
phone girls, whether they merited 1t
or not, were not classed with the
serious, hard workers of the COM
munity. Rather they were a synonym
of trifiing, unbusiness-like behavior
That day Is past.
To-day recruits to the service must
have not only fair education, con-
siderable intelligence and a wide
awake, alert manner, but they must
show a first-class aptitude for attend
ing strictly to business in business
hours.
THE country girl is bound to make
good as a general thing. She is dead
ly in earnest, her manners are good
and what she may lack in alertness
at first is more than Offset by her
dogged perseverance.
There are New York girls who
conceive the idea of taking up tele-
phone work who make q splendid i'm
preston at first BY their intelligence
and alertness. but who haven't perse-
verance enough to go through the
school. nor patience enough to master
the, complexities Of the work"

To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out Of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism: the urine must be neu-
tralized so 1t will no longer be a
source Of irritation to the bladder, and.
most Of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This

poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the

Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
